While I was in Budapest during one of my first shopping trips I found a bookstore with an English section and bought a few books. I didn’t have any hard plans to read them but filling my shelves up with books made my apartment feel more familiar. I bought a fantasy series I never opened,Continue reading “Falling Back in Love”

A few days in Athens
Don’t go to Athens so many people told me. It’s dirty. It’s dangerous. It’s just another city. But you know what? Paris is just some city with the Eiffel Tower. Cairo is just some city with some pyramids. London is just some city with a big clock. I saw the whole city through the eyesContinue reading “A few days in Athens”
My Fig Tree Moment
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Sylvia Path quote in The Bell Jar when she finds herself at a crossroads. She imagines herself sitting underneath a fig tree looking up at all the equally delectable figs. Each fig is a different way her life could go. One fig is having a family. OneContinue reading “My Fig Tree Moment”
Venturing Outside of Budapest
For such a small country ( only 10 million citizens) Hungary boasts a vastly different terrain from North to South.

I was so lucky that my friend, Stephanie, was visitingContinue reading “Self Care in Dubrovnik”

Bend So You Don’t Break
I was doing a yoga video the other day and at one point the instructor said “You learn to bend so when the storm comes you don’t break.” I like to think I’m bending slightly easier these days. I’m constantly barraged by reminders that despite all the plans I might have, what’s going to happenContinue reading “Bend So You Don’t Break”
You guys would tell me if I was old right?
If anyone was wondering about my abilities as an adult, worry no longer. I not only did my taxes, BUT I did them as an individual living out of the country. Who also received unemployment last year. And who made income in another country. It was all completed correctly and I only rage slammed my computer shutContinue reading “You guys would tell me if I was old right?”

My Christmas break plans started at: Strasbourg to Salzburg to Munich to New York to Paris and kept getting shaved down until I had a 2 day trip to Munich planned before I flew to NYC for a week.
