Mr. Suitcase
Worldhum &bull Sep 1, 2010
I often dismiss the self-revelatory nature of travel, focusing my gaze firmly on the place. Why dwell on personal growth when you're encountering a new world?

Airlines had lost my luggage only twice in my life,… Full Story »

The rags under the sink were rancid, and we had nothing to clean with, until we went to purchase them. The sofa was absolutely filthy, and while advertised… Full Story »
