8 Places to Travel When You’re Waiting For Your Friend to Text You Back
Don’t worry, they’ll get back to you…right?

Take an overnight flight to the beautiful Bay Area and track down Jason, thanks to a Dark Web app you found in exchange for a picture of your “weenis.” Quickly say hi to that Eric guy who “happened to be in the neighborhood,” and camp…
