Don't Talk To Strangers....Instead Try Traveling With Them

Forget about traveling to a place you’ve never been before, meeting an entirely new group of people, and swapping most of your belongings for a paddle, a kayak and a dry bag.

How To Pick The Right Trip (The Mindful Way)

We are truly blessed to live in a time where there are so many options to get away, to dive in, experience a new culture, visit a foreign country, and meet new people.
