Having gone 8 months without traveling abroad, it was time for a vacation and I got to tag along with Mayra.

Quote of the Day

"If you don't want to do something well, it's better not to do it at all. Because if you don't do it well, it will be neither profitable nor pleasurable. And if you are not doing something for profit or pleasure, why would you bother doing it in the first place?"
