I’m talking about Top 5 lists. We’ve had many, many lists of ‘5 things…’ or ‘Top 5…’ and, frankly, we love them. […]
We’re beginning to close the year, and what a year it’s been (seriously, have you seen that ‘Year In Pictures thing that’s going around?!). –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– For me, I moved to Colombia and got to experience a brand new culture first-hand.
