I wanted to conform, but…..
As a kid, I wanted to conform. I didn’t have a penchant for sticking my neck out and standing out this way in society. Oh, you went to Europe? Yes. Where all did you go? Germany and Denmark. That’s it, just two countries? Ya….. I was cycling. 🙂 Berlin to Copenhagen, 550 km in 17 […]
