I like to use roadside america. I use it whenever we go on a roadtrip to find unique places to stop. Tiktok/social media (Instagram) is also helpful if you know specific states/area you are looking for.

I cross the bridge when I get there. I just book a place to stay and I ask the locals. They're the best tour guides. Know body knows the place better than them plus hearing their amazing stories with each place you visit feels fulfilling.

Do they really think we’re going to ‘stick around’ until they ‘figure it out’ …

Does anyone own an LV Capucines? My heart has been set on that for a while now but I see it’s prices keep going up, up, up!

Also are there other LV bags that do not have the visible LV prints?

Does relocation to touristic cities (workations) really work? I have experience working summer jobs in foreign countries and was thinking about doing that now, or at least plan for next year.
