So you know: Some of the links in this page and in the sidebars on ITKT are affiliate links. If you purchase a product, I might earn a commission, but not always. If I do get a commission you will never pay more and in many cases you will pay less than normal. Also, every company I have added here are companies that I know, like and trust. The few bucks I make here will help to pay for site maintenance and for stories you read on ITKT. Thanks for your support!

I still have my old backpack in the garage. Yes, the one with all the hand-sewn patches on it from the different countries I have visited. While I have stopped using that backpack, I still collect the patches when visiting a new country. I do it for my daughter who I...

I am a book lover. I am not just saying that. I am an obsessive compulsive book buyer and am usually good for a sack of books a week. I will read almost anything and my home isn't getting any bigger. It is getting smaller, less and less space for me and my family as...
