Breezing through Barcelona - European Exploits
"Our summer vacay has officially begun!" hollered Raina as we squeezed each other’s hands in delight outside the Barcelona El-Prat Airport. After withstanding the inclement weather in Amsterdam and Paris, we were ecstatic at finally being able to whip out our bikinis and breathe in the crisp Spanish summer air.

【 dessert 】 Ottomans spread royal iron moon desserts: rose milk skin (güllaç)
Since roses are produced in Turkey, of course, there are also rose products. Flower season tourism is also very popular. Visit this section for a group trip with you - yourself. This is an introduction to a traditional dessert related to the hunt for money, rose milk skin (güllaç). - Yes. Compared to other snacks, note that there are many fatty and sweet Turkish snacks, and rose milk skin is relatively fresh, so it was considered a regular snack of the prayer moon. Muslims will keep the health during the prayer moon, and the dietary life will change, and will not eat for a long time. In addition to supplementing the sugar and having some nutrition, this dessert will not be too heavy for the body.

The Dutchest City in The Netherlands
As a Vietnamese who had never set foot outside of Asia, I was pretty excited to go to my first European country, where I'd be spending my next three years of college.

Searching for who I am.
Being someone in a world with billions of people makes me wonder if I’m where I’m meant to be and If I am who I’m meant to be. Trying to find who you are can be hard but I guess I’ll start with a road trip. Around the world, in a small caravan. Maybe If I find a place to call home, then I can find out who I am.

Virtual Reality, Venus, & Venice Venetia
Venice was more magical than I had ever imagined. In truth, I had never imagined it much. I just knew it was a place that I wanted to go. That it was special, and unique- interwoven with water and gothic architecture unlike anywhere else in the world.

My Experience Volunteering With Workaway
In January 2018, I left Italy for an experience in the U.K., where a family would have hosted me for about three months. I was tired of my tedious job, and Scotland attracted me. Have you ever had the feeling you must visit a place? Maybe it was the Outlander tv series fault, or I was just trying to run away from the situation I was living in.

A Warm Coat on the Coldest Night
My panicked vision narrows in on the spark of the flint. With laser focus I attempt to permeate the lighter with my will: Light, god damn it. Just light. A prayer.

Long Way from the Atlantic
Being 400 miles away from the shoreline is when I missed the waves and ceaseless salt winds. For many, this isn’t far but I was someone where this was the furthest west I had ever been. I hadn’t grown up by the beaches but I have never been more than hour’s drive from one. I never felt Connecticut as a coastal state, even knowing the history of port cities and different maritime trades. The feeling changed when I went to New York by Lake Ontario and the desire for mild Long Island Sound, warm Nantucket Sound, or the brutal Atlantic Ocean stayed heavy. The idea of a lake beach was so foreign, I still remember the shock of hearing that their beach trip wouldn’t be 5 hours away at shore but in 30 minutes from campus on the lake.

Thai UTI
I knew as soon as we stepped aboard the jumbo jet I was in trouble. I had to pee. Not the normal pee either, the urgent, painful kind that could only mean one thing: Urinary Tract Infection. Anyone who has experienced the agony of a UTI knows that you don’t wish it on your worst enemy.

A Cypriot Work Life
I moved to Cyprus with my family in 2006. There was me, my husband, and my two sons. We had a great life there at first but the hardship of earning decent money took a toll on us when Cyprus changed to the Euro from Cypriot pounds.

Too late to move abroad?
I was approaching seventy (gingerly, feet dragging, denying, denying) when I decided to move from California where I’d been living to a French village. Alone. I knew no-one in France and barely spoke the language.
