RESOURCES

Whenever I take a trip, I lug along a heavy tote filled with books, CDs, maps, travel brochures, and sometimes a laptop.  Though I aspire to travel lightly some day, for now  having abundant resources at hand is the stronger draw.

This page is the “heavy tote bag” for Wellbuddies wellness journeys. It reflects the passion for learning and for sharing what we have found:  passing along hot reads, travel guides, maps, and directions.
