We are Too Many People

June 7, 2018June 16, 2018 allisonavoss1 Comment

From New York, to now London, I am constantly reminded by how many people we are on this earth. In megacities like these, I can hardly walk down any given street without seeing another human.

…it’s about the people who you are with. I would not have traveled all the way to India if it weren’t that I could share the experience with my dad.

I spent this past long weekend with my dear grandparents in Wisconsin.
