Substacks recommended by Sandra Serrano

Recommended by Sandra Serrano

Offbeat takes from a well-traveled life. Stories short enough to fit into your schedule, and long enough for you to escape from it. Read, or listen while you multi-task.

Beth's writing speaks to my soul. She takes what I feel and puts it to paper. Whole Stories Shortly is beautifully written. I'm a huge fan!
