First Impressions Of Crete
It is only a matter of hours, and I am already deeply loving Crete. These first views of Crete are wrapping me in their wonder and taking me by surprise, and already, I don’t want to leave. Maybe, it’s because I came with no expectations. I had no time to “research” this place. But, Greece has a way of capturing my heart. And, this has just brought back all of those feelings. It started with the plane ride in. Snow-covered mountains which I had not expected to see glistened in the sun and beckoned me to this island of olive groves, vineyards, and rolling hills.

Letting Go Of Baggage: A Weight Loss Plan For Your “Stuff”
The less I needed, the better I felt. • Charles Bukowski Well, here I go again. Almost, six months ago, I sold everything I owned, and moved to Mexico. Well, almost everything. I still had SIX suitcases, which is a lot to carry if you want to be free. But, you know what? I wasn’t quite ready to let go of everything yet.

I want to do more. So much more…

San Miguel, “It’s Not You, It’s Me”
Oh, San Miguel de Allende. I know it was terrible of me to break up with you on Valentine’s Day, but I couldn’t keep my feelings inside any longer. I hope you understand. It’s not you, it’s me. I was in the middle of the biggest change of my life, when we met. Actually, I did what I always do. I fell in love too easily with you….BEFORE WE EVER MET. I had heard about you from others, how amazing you were. And then we started chatting online. You sent me your pictures. I was sold, head over heels in love. And so, I moved in with you….BEFORE WE EVER…

How To Blog For Money
Many people would like to blog for money, but they don’t know where to start. I love the freedom that blogging gives me to travel when I want, to work when I want, and to write about something that I’m passionate about. Since starting my travel blog, I have had a lot of people ask me how they can start their own and make money from it. Here’s how I got started. When I began, I knew nothing about blogging, so I signed up for a course called Superstar Blogging. I learned so much from this course. There are lessons on creating content, advice on getting traffic from social media, and…
