I'm going to be in India soon. 9 days to be exact. At this time, in 9 days, I will be with my family and in my childhood home. I could not be more excited.

UvA acceptance

I do understand that these things can be done on a budget, and I do understand that this budget can be as low as… Continue reading Money
