One of the biggest adjustments for me when I first started traveling was losing my innate suspicion of other people. I’d glad I did, because so much of my journey has been about the people I’ve met along the way.

A common mistake travelers make is packing things that can be easily (and cheaply) purchased once they arrive at their destination.

I went to Bhutan to see if it’s reputation for being the happiest country on earth was accurate. Spoiler alert: It’s that and so much more.
