I know, I know. I’m an expert European traveler, having been in Europe over a dozen times since 2013, even having lived there. We’re all vulnerable at some point. Having been there over a dozen times we think we’re invincible. Let me tell you how I was conned. First let me say how humbled I …
The holidays may be coming to an end, but someone’s birthday is fast approching! (For me, we celebrate the Epiphany, so my gift-giving season is not quite over yet!) You know what that means!
