ANONYMOUS
ANONYMOUS’S #travelsundaystory Living with a Parent with Mental Health issues I’m keeping this person anonymous but I met her in a really bizarre situation.

PHIL
PHIL’S #travelsundaystory Men with Bulimia I met Phil on my first day of travelling the world, starting in Colombia.

My Visit To The Colombian Desert
When I first heard that going to the desert in Colombia was an actual thing, I decided it was something I must do.
