Well, it's here!! One year living in Dublin, Ireland and traveling around Europe and Israel caught on video. I finished the editing and every clip is only two seconds long. Apologies in advance because, well, I am not a videographer. Haha! You'll see what I mean. But this video is very personal with close friends [...]
People are always asking me, “Which place has been your favorite?” But I have no way to answer that!! Every place is my favorite for different reasons. Of course, I do have places that I want to go to again (and again and again)! That’s usually the list I try to give people. Mrs Ayla's [...]
The next morning we set out to take London. After another trek through the Tube, we arrived close to Trafalgar Square and awed at the massive lion statues.

I want to talk about a conversation (kind of) that I had last week on Twitter. It was during one of the travel talks that I take part in here and there. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what the topic was, but He/She Twitter Person I was talking to said some things that really upset me. He/She [...]
So I have once again fallen victim to impulse flight booking. If you don't remember the first time, check it out here. This tends to be a problem when payday comes around and I get rich in the head and not so much in the pocket. My soul just yearns to wander down winding roads in [...]
