Halfway through 2022 - decides to write this post. 2021 was probably my best year of reading I've had yet, completing 30 books which blows my mind (thank you, unemployment). Several books I would even throw in my top 5 best reads of life (nothing has topped the Kite Runner for me, however). Let's ...

What I Read in 2020
Happy New Year party, people! HAHA. Absolutely kidding. I watched the Office until midnight when the show was forcefully removed from my Netflix account.

How to Plan a Trip Like a Pro
Travel can seem daunting. I know - I have been there! When I started seriously traveling at the age of 21, I literally would just "wing" everything.
