the wanderer

Not all those who wander are lost; some are just looking for a decent cup of coffee to fuel their next adventure. And we’re not talking about Millennials who go on one Contiki Tour and call themselves ‘intrepid.’ (*eyeroll*) We’re talking about the travellers, the seekers; the wild ones who know it’s the journey – not the arrival – that matters. Just like this bag of beans that hopped, skipped and jumped across continents and oceans to be here.
