19. Learned about Sarah/Rosie/Corinne:
Corinne is type A, likes to lead, freaks out when she doesn’t have a plan, likes helping people who don’t necessarily ask for it, is really good at making plans, is afraid of getting in trouble, & is super cool!
Rosie is addicted to means of communication (her phone, the internet)…I wonder why that could be…, never loses anything, but forgets stuff in the room, good at reading maps, indecisive, never ever complains, didn’t sleep as much as you would think during the trip, & is awesome!
