Friday Five 02/05/16
Ok, so I’ve been obsessed with Season 2 of Serial, which is a podcast from the creators of This American Life, and hosted by Sarah Koenig. Season 2 discusses Bowe Bergdahl, the US soldier that walked off base in Afghanistan only to be captured by the Taliban and kept hostage for five years.
I remember when Season 1 first aired – everyone was raving about it. After catching up on yesterday’s episode, I accidentally listened to an update from Adnan Syed’s on-going hearing.

On to this week’s Friday Five.

I related to it on a personal level, and honestly wish I could send it to everyone that asks me why I’m still single or worse yet, when I’m getting married.
Locals are an Untapped Market for Tours and Activities Companies
This is all too true. I would only go and explore the city I was currently living in when a friend came to visit, only to discover there was so much hidden in my backyard! Now, I’m more aware of things to do, places to see, and most importantly, where to eat!

Look who’s featured! I love collaborating with other travelers, sharing my travel knowledge, and most importantly learning from them! The world is so large, and it’s very idealistic for me to think I’ll be able to visit it all…but I can certainly try! Thanks to do this post, I’ve definitely added more to my travel bucket list.
Happy Friday!
