The Five Most Unusual and Quirky Places I Have Ever Slept
I probably should have written posts like this for years as these are the ones that people care about and are interested to read. But I was always too selfish to care, I wrote about where I went, what I saw, what I wanted to write. The Five Most Unusual and Quirky Places I Have Ever Slept, I am only posting this today as it was one of those drafts that will either –
- never ever be finished
- be deleted
