To Know Where You’re Going, You Have To Get
I spent Tuesday walking around and getting lost. Tuesday I walked over 9 miles, and yes, I got very lost. But it was fun. I found the parks and the zoo. I am so excited to go to the zoo. I'm not sure why because I’ve never been much of a zoo person ...

Vladimir is a deaf-mute 69 year old from Belarus. He travels the world for the last decade, or so, to find his place in the Guinness Book of Records. At first sight, to me he was a very strange told man. Who would expect a man in a hostel to be ...
