“TURSNS OUT”….PataGUCCI:pre-Trip Planning

I believe that I am what many people call “directionally challenged”. I have the ability of getting lost trying to get to the grocery store in my hometown. The funny part is that I’m not afraid of getting lost. In fact, I rather enjoy getting lost and exploring something I’ve never seen before.

This rude awakening was a struggle at first, but it soon turned into a positive metamorphosis.
