Perks of Having a Travel Buddy

One cold December morning while on a coffee break I was able to contemplate of a gift that will be given on the upcoming birthday of my travel buddy without the use of a single penny. By and by, after hours of contemplation, I was able to come up with a gift which is an article about my sentiments and the perks of having a travel buddy inspired by her. 

To start I met her at Maranat during the celebration of our Team (LCO) 1st year anniversary. Driven by those long talks and steadfast interest about hiking that put us together to venture more mountains and destinations. I'm filled with gratitude knowing her - from a stranger to becoming hiking buddy. Rarely you see an individual who puts so much devotion on her passion and vision in life. That is her, she is my travel buddy - an extraordinary woman distinguishable by her dark skin tone. lol
