When I travel I refuse to overbook myself or make too many specific plans, preferring to be flexible because it’s vacation and having a rigid schedule sort of contradicts that concept for me.

Going back to Cali
Do I look like a desert girl to you?

It might just be my favorite food group and it definitely would be my desert island wish. … Continue reading Bread. Alone.
