Alexander Abroad 2016!

2016 was definitely an exciting year for me. From October 15 to November 16, I had the opportunity to visit over 13 countries and more than 25 cities around the world. Definitely not something I had planned for my 30th orbit around the sun, but once I started I couldn’t stop… and even more, once…
