7 Spain & Travel Resolutions for 2013
2012 was a pretty crazy year for me, in lots of good and bad ways. It was certainly an improvement over the last half of 2011, but it was far from my best year. I'm hoping 2013 will be a lot less extreme and a whole lot happier. So here's what I'd like to do in the...
