Molweni and welcome to Sandivember, Yes it’s my birthday month and I renamed an entire month after myself. If you haven’t guessed it by now I love my birthday and I have heard of putting stuff out into the universe so I thought let me do the most not subtle hint ever and do a travel wish list whilst I wait for my savings to grow.

Feeding the travel bug
I have always wanted to travel. In fact, I would love to spend a year or two out of my suitcase just travelling the world, discovering the places that aren’t so touristy. I dream of visiting the Pyramids in Egypt, attending the Rio Carnival and admiring the artwork at the Louvre. However the zeros in my bank account always come together and do a Mexican wave for my dreams and then get together and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh ( you get the idea don’t you? Sigh!)
