June 19, 2017 Currently: Dreaming up my next vacation... Indonesia anyone? The last of my trip went by before I knew what was happening. Early (really early considering I didn't go to bed until 4am) we ferried into Helsinki. I missed most of the boat part, because I promptly fell asleep in the sun on …
June 18, 2017 Currently: Sitting in the Lisbon airport waiting for flight two of three to the USA. The Gothic spires, the huge plazas filled with markets of useless trinkets, the narrow cobblestone streets, the overdone medieval tackiness, and the impressive remnants of a wall containing the town's charm. These are a few of my …
July 16, 2017 Currently: not thinking about the fact that I'm flying back home on Sunday... One of the main advantages of having a car is the ability to go visit some places off the beaten track. So, we did just that to experience a more medieval Latvia that's off the beaten track. Well off the …
June 14, 2017 Currently: enjoying a glass of wine at a beautiful secluded house-turned-b&b in the middle of Latvia's national park If Vilnius is a babushka, then Riga is a ninja.

July 12, 2017 Currently: in the middle of a love-hate relationship with Photos... and by love-hate, I mean hate. Lithuania is small but mighty. If this makes any sense at all, it's got personality. Little did I know, Lithuania used to be one of the largest countries in Europe back in the 14th century. That …
June 9, 2017 Currently: Amused that it's 10:11pm and the sun still hasn't set. Ahhh Vilni... I look back so fondly on you. Mostly because I met some amazing people. I've realized when I travel, it's about the experiences that I have within the cities that make them the most memorable. Sure, sometimes the architecture …
June 7, 2017 Currently: grateful, just so grateful Because this turned out to be of such significance for me, I wanted to share the final piece missing to my Warsaw story. Warsaw as a city, and Poland as a country see themselves as "victims for the world." And theirs is a story I would …
June 6, 2017 Currently: Tired feet up, listening to Chopin to get in the right Polish mindset for this blog. Pro tip! Listen to Chopin's Spring Waltz while you read this post. He's Polish in case you didn't make that connection. So normally, I don't struggle coming up with a title for a post. But …
June 6, 2017 Currently: Chilling in Warsaw after an amazing first day! Spoiler alert: Warsaw is amazing. Helloooooo world!! It's been way too long. I'm so thrilled to be writing a blog again. My last romp around the world was a two-month voyage across India, Bhutan, and Nepal in search of some kind of clarity. …
