Her driving was impeccable – no danger there – but we were surrounded by hundreds (thousands?) of very erratic drivers, all powering their motorbikes through the narrow streets, and…
Hello world, meet Sara. Sara is one of those girls who is obviously on a fast path to rocking the world … big time. She’s glamorous, yes, but also knows how to make waves. Example: have you heard of Future Farmers of America? Sara has. Big time. Not only has she heard of it, she’s…
