I never cared about money. My goal was never to be a millionaire, to have the nicest things, none of that. Money struck me as essential, and that the more you have the more options you have, so I wanted enough to…. *cough* travel. I was reading a book the other day that basically said:…

neuroplasticity
Woah. Why am I about to talk about this?Because it affects everything. I’m no neuroscientist, but basically from what I’ve read your brain has connections and pathways. Some are so worn, the way you’ve thought for your whole life, that when a new little thought forms, it slides right down without even thinking, splashing in…
Confidence: fake it until you make it
Alright, sista. Get your mean face on. I used to laugh when I would realize how differently I walk down the street in Quito, Ecuador, a city of three million people where I stick out like a sore thumb versus how I am in the town I grew up in. I look rude. I’m not…

But we also have some pretty incorrect assumptions about the rest of the world. I’m a little embarrassed to even write…
Why you shouldn’t travel
Please hear the satirical tone in this writing. This might be a little offensive, but I am just trying to make a point as clearly as possible, ironically while saying it backwards.

Travel vs. Vacation
I gotta clear something up. When I refer to travel, I am not referring to flying to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun and swimming in the pool and drinking piña coladas. I’m not referring to doing a Disney cruise off the coast of Florida. I’m not even referring to going to some destination spa in…
