Work it Girls
Jordan — September 2022 While in Jordan, I visited Safi Kitchen for lunch- a wonderful place and organization that produces their own food and supports local women’s education. The women help out in the kitchen in exchange for financial support for their education. I was lucky to meet three of the women completing their degrees…

Santorini Stoicism
Cyclades — August 2022 Before landing in Santorini, I was lucky to spend the day wandering around Athens. The ancient home to democracy, geometry, the marathon, and my favorite school of philosophy – Stoicism. I walked around the ancient agora where Zeno originally preached Stoic principles two thousand years ago. Stoicism gets a bad rap…

Polish PRObioticTIPS
Wroclaw, Poland – May 2022 Whoever discovered that food could either rot and kill you OR ferment and feed you was genius. When you think of Poland maybe sauerkraut or borscht comes to mind. I visited Poland for a few days and was in fermentation heaven. So what is fermentation? Fermentation takes place when the…

Lost in Yesterday
Porto, Portugal — June 2022 Two months in Europe down… 10 more months to go around the world. As a very nostalgic person, I’m sad that my European travels are over. However, I’m also very excitable. So I’m excited for my Africa, Middle East, Asia, and South America travels to come. Reflecting on the past…

Livin Life on the Edge
Norway – June 2022 I think everyone’s life needs a healthy dose of adventure. Lucky for me, I spent a week of my life adventuring in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Norway. Hiking is my favorite activity. It’s a healthy challenge for the body and breathing — and when both are synced-…

Hygge
Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway) – May 2022 Hygge (Denmark/Norwegian): pronounced (HOO-gah) —a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment. Let’s get cozy. You may already be familiar with this word as it has slowly seeped its way into American culture. I’m fascinated by words in other languages that do not…

BBB (Belgium Biking Behavior)
Belgium – May 2022 The other BBB (not talking about Bad Bitch Behavior— but maybe a topic for another day). The whole of Northern Europe impressed me with the incorporation of biking into the city. My first exposure was in Belgium, and the experience continued in northern Germany all the way to bike capital- Copenhagen.…

To what do we owe our parents?
Germany – May 2022 This question is not uniquely German, however it came up while I was traveling there. A friend saw an article in the local paper asking Germans this very question. Think on the question: To what do we owe our parents? I was lucky to be traveling with my German friend, who…

Go Off Queen
London – May 2022 “The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things bother you.” I love this quote- originally heard it in the movie “Lost in Translation,” when Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are sharing a quiet moment after an unexpected friendship and night out in Tokyo.…
