Harper Barton

Hello, my name is Harper Barton. The only thing I love more than travelling is writing about it. Sounds strange doesn't it? But yeah, I adore writing and sharing my experiences about what I have experienced during my travels. Since I am a person who loves being a part of the community, I often write about local festivals with the goal of popularizing outside just small communities they come from.
