I get asked the same two questions all the damn time: How do you afford to travel all the time?

Pack small, reliable headphones, you will always use them. 5. […]

I always wander wherever I go because I always stumble upon the best little gems like this little gallery/cafe where they had a set of hummingbird feeders hanging throughout the patio. I stopped and had a cappuccino and got to stand at point blank range with hummingbirds, finches, and more for over half an hour. They actually scared me more than anything because they zoom towards and around you like bullets and make a strong buzzing sound when they are in flight. At least two dozen tourists just passed by without taking a second glance during that time and I was blown away because this was one of the best things I've seen during my travels. . . . . . . . . #bucketlist #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #getaway #wanderlust #worldtravel #travelstoke #earthfocus #traveltherenext #worldnomads #thetraveltag #travelzoo #sharetravelpics #itravelbecause #traveladdicts #adventure #costarica #nature #centralamerica #monteverde #hummingbirds
