Packing for a 2-week trip is stressful. Packing for a whole year is a nightmare, especially when you are on a budget and have to keep things within the airline baggage weight limit.

Discovering Great Britain – Bath City Center
Bath is in the valley of the River Avon, west of London, England, or so Google says. I only rode the bus there. This city is a popular tourist destination because, as the name implies, the city is known for its hot springs and Roman-built baths.

Discovering Delhi – Differences
Sequel to my previous post, this focuses on the stark differences between Nigeria and India.
