Seven *actual* reasons to go travelling

May 10, 2018Leave a comment

Sure, travelling can help you find yourself and what not - I've written posts about that. This is not one of those posts. With this one I list seven actual things that will want to make any 'adult' want to throw in the towel and start travelling.

Everyone hates life admin and it gets worse when you're travelling. This is just a little rant about how shit it is to do life admin when you're in a different country. I know, woe is me.
