Traveling is a great way to break away from the stresses and obligations of daily life, offering newness and changes in the form of new people, sights, and experiences. Traveling is about learning a lot about the world, allowing you to meet new people, mix with cultures that you might not have had a chance at back home.Christine’s guest today is Jen Ruiz.Jen Ruiz is a lawyer turned full time travel blogger and author.
