This is Benji, my travel Panda. He has been with me since travelling in America back in 2011.
While I was on a layover in Atlanta, Georgia on my way to Florida, I was in a souvenir shop and wanted to get a little something for my family back home, and then I thought to myself, “I need to get something for me too…” and just then, I saw this adorable little Panda bear sitting on the shelf. He was the last of his kind in the whole shop! I had to get him.
Nearly $13 later, I walked out of there and onto the plane with a new, fluffy little friend which I then named Benji.
He now travels with me whenever I go someplace new and exciting!
