I love to travel. Really, though, who doesn’t? I suppose there are those people that are total homebodies, but that’s definitely not me. I get restless when I’m homebound, and I crave adventure.
My favorite words might be “Pack a bag, we’re heading out!” These are some of my favorite must have travel essentials.
