#### Oh, The People You Will Meet

Megan 2019-04-04T15:21:13-04:00October 9th, 2013|16 Comments

Dr. Seuss may have said, “Oh, the places you will go!”, but he never mentioned the people you’d meet along the way. Today is my one-month anniversary with full-time travel, and specifically with Europe. It’s
