Lessons Learned and a Two-Minute Vacation.

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates, Travel 19 Comments

Eleven days unplugged got me thinking. Without as much noise and things to check and update constantly, there was space for other things. Like, learning about myself, even at the ripe ol’ age of 26. Things I learned about myself on summer vacation: Being in a quiet space makes my thoughts grow in proportion. ItRead the whole post >>
