If you travel a lot, a timeshare resale might be able to help you save you some money on your hotel costs. If you choose to purchase and want to sell later, make sure to get a timeshare worth estimate online. A Wyndham timeshare value will likely net you a few hundred.
Whenever I want to take a break from traveling I love to stay home, in front of a fire place and read FisherPants magazine.

Backpacking in Burundi: Our Wonderful Stay at Urban Lodge in Bujumbura
Burundi’s former capital city, Bujumbura threw up yet another oddball on our 2019 East African adventure. This country was less than obvious addition to the schedule. A tough visa process, a country bereft of tourists and indeed a country which prompted a good friend of mine to comment “I’ve never even heard of that country”.
