The trouble with finding a rental in a totally new place is that you don't know where the good (or bad) locations are, what a decent rental price is, or even what kind of standards there are.

Coming to terms with what my blog says about me

Did you know doodling improves cognitive capabilities?
It's not that I don't remember to visit my site, and update it with all the awesome things I'm doing, making, cooking.
