33 countries under her teeny crocheted belt. Some people think that, for her age, it ain’t nothing but a number.

That Three-Month North-Central America Trip: Hotels And Hostels
From (the mythical) 1,000 thread count sheets, to threadbare linen. From fancy wardrobes to floordrobes. From luxurious bathroom toiletries to cheap shampoo in sachets.
