Traveling
I love traveling. In general, this could be taking any time off to get out in nature, see new sights, or visiting someplace new. And whenever I travel to a new place (especially if it’s for a big international or non-continental vacation), I try to collect at least one magnet of the city and/or country/state I went to. Here’s my collection so far!
