Unaccompanied Travel of Minors

Our Social Context, Cultural Interactions
The fun bit. My personal perversion is my ability to see the spacial, abstract in different constructs and contexts. I was in a job interview the other day and I told the interviewer I get paid to: think, provide energy, facilitate, and communicate. Effectively I get paid for the things that I do to manage […]

Well for clarification. My blog is not about dating but about my experience with blindness. Dating DONE Podcast The point […]
