Absolved of All Sins!
We went on a day trip to Armenia with my son and friend Katie to explore its apostolic monasteries. Our first stop, Akhtala Monastery, had a monument to Armenian-Georgian friendship in the form of two rings joined by a pomegranate, the national fruit of both countries.

Coastal Series: Part I (Washington State)
Washington does not introduce its coastline. It lets you find it... There’s no sudden reveal, no postcard moment engineered for the windshield. The coast arrives gradually, in pieces... Through rain-darkened trees, through logging towns that never rebranded themselves, through long stretches of road where the radio fades, and the sky lowers itself closer to the ground.

Ski Trips I’ll Always Remember
I’m a university student, and most days my head feels full before I even get out of bed. There’s always an assignment I haven’t finished, a reading I skimmed too quickly, or an email I’ve been avoiding. Winter is when that mental noise gets louder—but it’s also when skiing gives me a way out.

When the Sky Decides: The Invisible Power of Weather. AI-Generated.
Every day begins with a simple habit: checking the weather. Whether through a phone app, a glance out the window, or a morning news update, météo quietly guides our decisions before we even realize it. We choose our clothes, plan our journeys, and set expectations for the day based on what the sky promises. Yet weather is far more than a practical concern—it is an invisible power that influences how we live, feel, and adapt to a changing world.

Snow in Morocco: A Side of the Country Most Travelers Don’t Expect
When most people think of Morocco, they imagine warm deserts, sunlit medinas, and palm trees swaying under a blue sky. Snow rarely comes to mind. Yet every winter, parts of the country quietly shift into a completely different landscape one shaped by cold air, white mountain peaks, and villages wrapped in silence after snowfall.

A Season Away - Vacationing in the Early 1900s, When Time and Health Were the Luxury
At the turn of the 20th century, a vacation was not a break from work so much as a temporary relocation of life. Families packed trunks, not suitcases. They stayed for weeks, sometimes months. And they traveled not to escape stress, but to escape heat, illness, and the soot of industrial cities.
