THE EVER CHANGING TRIATHLON SEASON…

9 LESSONS LEARNED SUITCASE IN HAND

I’ve done a lot of traveling over the years.  A lot.  For business and pleasure.  For vacations and triathlons.  Solo and with friends and/or family.  Quick getaway weekends to month-long safaris.  On a budget to all out luxury.  All sorts of travel.
