Views: 1091(2 votes) - The Exhilarating, Terrifying Experience of Doing Something NEW - by Submitted on Jun 12, 2013 from Halle EavelynI’m a fairly adventuresome person, but I don’t have that thrill gene—you know, the one that makes you want to sky dive and bungee jump and have sex in public places.

Views: 1695 - Should I Still Travel To ____? Taking Trips During Civil Unrest - by Submitted on Sep 26, 2012 from Halle EavelynFirst, a caveat.
