Greetings from Greece, where I'm continuing my months of nomad life in Europe. That's me in travel writer work mode above. That was in Athens, so I've got on my Pickpocket Proof Pants and shirt. I managed to hang onto all of my valuables while in one of the worst cities for pickpockets, so they worked out well. 

 

I also recently published an updated post that you might find useful: 

 

 

We're coming up on Memorial Day in the USA, which is a good excuse for a sale, but more importantly, this is a season change time. So anything related to winter and spring has to go. That's good news for you if you need anything that's not just for summer.
