My goal is to travel to at least one new country a year
Thus far my list is woefully short: Canada; Costa Rica; Dominican Republic; England; Ireland; New Zealand; Puerto Rico, Scotland; Wales; + counting
What can I say? Traveling on an income below the poverty line is difficult.
I really like books. However, I am sad to say that I cannot recall the last time I actually had time to read a book cover to cover. In my very spare time I read ridiculous young adult fiction and fantasy so as to relax my stressed out brain.
