why stay in a hotel, when you can stay in a treehouse?
I am over staying in hostels and hotels. One is just not for me, I like my privacy. And the other, if usually too expensive. And why stay in a hotel, when they are so many unique and/or affordable places on Airbnb to stay in instead?

limit your destinations, maximize your experiences
Do you collect passport stamps? Do you run from one country to the next, just to hit the 30 before 30? I’ve learned recently, that I am more concerned with the experiences I have in a country, more than getting to as many countries as I can in a short…

six waterfalls and one broken fibula
