Notable Quotes
This lifestyle is something that I always dreamed of and something that I never had.
As we return to tours in a sustainable way, we are going to see changes that were not there before.
Just because you're saving money doesn’t mean that you have to be denying yourself.
Sit with yourself and listen to the little inner that you're trying to ignore.
If you keep having this idea, urge, or inclination, it’s probably because that’s more of a calling.
Don’t be scared to nurture your interests on the side.
