India, My Love
It was my first time in India! Feeling jet-lagged after a long, trans-continental flight, I was tired, nervous, and excited.

The Many Faces of Berlin
Octoberfest is party time in Berlin and I just couldn’t get into it. I was sharing a long table with the locals in Alexander Platz, a huge outdoor plaza in the middle of the city while nursing a lager, four euros for the drink and another for the glass stein which I get back after returning it to the bar. The Germans are nothing if not practical.

Down In South London
I'm a hardcore North Londoner, not because I was born in North London. It's just that I've spent most of my life north of the river, birth, school, and higher education. Plus, I have no real reason to go south, either.

" I don't have enough money"
The little island off the coast of the Caribbean known as Haiti, is easily a place where foreigners would call this “The land of purgatory.” An experience that I had the opportunity to embark on at a time when it was considered “safe” to travel there.

A Siberian Story: Tag, You’re It. Top Story - May 2024.
Snow shimmers in -24 degrees. Trees that usually wear their forest green coats are dusted by frost, looming tall and piercing the pastel coloured sky like sentinels for a citadel of silence. Finland is made of frozen moments, standing so still in between breaths of icy air. It’s serene. It’s like a dream. It’s the most enchanting thing I’ve ever seen.

Vietnamese food: The TOP 10 must-try dishes in 2024
1.Banh mi, or the Vietnamese sandwich, is one of the most popular street foods in Vietnam that many tourists want to try. It is considered one of the most prominent remnants of the French colonial period in the South, aside from architectural works, because it was first created in the 19th century and inspired by the French baguette.

New Writing Prompt #2
New Writing Prompt #2 If you could pack up and leave on vacation today, where would you be off to? If I could pack up and leave for vacation, right now, I would one hundred percent be going to a Disney theme park. I would choose Disney World, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disney Hong Kong, Tokyo, or Shanghai. A Disney cruise is also an option for a great drop-it-and-go vacation. I have been dreaming, like Rapunzel, of leaving my metaphorical tower to go on a grand adventure through the surrounding kingdoms of the land.

The Study Abroad
In 2016, I had never left the country. I was entering my second year at Eastern Michigan University after taking a four-year break from college and had only spent time in the United States on short trips. I was studying international affairs, so studying abroad was required at some point in my academic track. There were a few options, but a class I was taking through the winter semester offered a relatively inexpensive two-week spring trip to Guatemala, and given the content of the class, it seemed like the best fit for me.

The Tower of London
When the lockdown restrictions were lifted, I remember walking outside of Tower London and absorbing the once-in-a-lifetime surreal feeling. I will never forget what I saw. The place was virtually empty, with an eerie silence all around. I remember talking to one of the Beefeaters standing behind the Gate, and he told me they would be opening when they got the go-ahead from the officials.
