Creator's Key Takeaways

We are 3 months into our eight-month contract, so I thought a little three-month checkup would be fun.

I miss my bed at home so so so much. This one did have a mattress topper on it for a bit, but I ended up scrapping it because I it was too soft for me.

I'm so looking forward to hopping into that bed once I get home at the end of the contract.

We have 2 months left of our Europe itinerary before we start our crossing.
