Travel Vests – The Scottevest versus the Magellan

happyhousesitter — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:49:43 +0000

If you are an international traveler, packing light can become an obsession. Travel vests promise great additional security and packing options.

I met Cez, virtually, by responding to a twitter mention about his business, bloginstallations.com. However, not only does he provide great services for my WordPress website, but he has also proven to be a kindred spirit. Cez is a wonderful representation of a young modern-day freedom lover. In the old days, he might have had the gumption to travel west [...]

England, East Sussex, the South Downs, and More

happyhousesitter — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:57:21 +0000

How I have managed to write so little about England, I will never know. I lived in East Sussex for six weeks, enjoying the South Downs. Furthermore, for as long as I can recall, I have been completely infatuated with everything “English”. I love the English countryside, English cottage gardens, English writers and actors, and [...]
