A question I get asked often is "How many countries have you visited?" Since many people have different definitions of visiting a country, I thought I would share my 4 'criteria' for counting a country as one visited - your opinion might differ. Some people will count physically being in a country as having visited... Continue Reading →
I know I haven't shared anything in a while, but I did pass a travel milestone today, so I thought I would share. I have just passed my 1 millionth kilometer traveled by air. That distance is just over 25 times around the globe & is equivalent roughly 60 full days of flying. A pretty... Continue Reading →
Exactly a year ago, I arrived in Doha. I was excited & nervous which I think is pretty normal for someone who has just moved to a new city or country. The last year has had its fair share of ups & downs, but overall it has been the best year of my life. I... Continue Reading →
Unfortunately, life has kept me extremely busy & I haven't been able to write updates for my blog in a while. I do hope I will be able to start writing again soon. In the meantime, I would like to share a blog. My brother & sister-in-law have recently immigrated to New Zealand & are... Continue Reading →

So I didn't have time. I flew... Continue Reading →
Instead of starting with the usual apology for being absent for a while, I will just jump straight into my next story. Athens - well, what a city. A city that is old, dirty & incredibly busy... yet absolutely beautiful & maybe just a little bit magical. The city is ancient & a brilliant word... Continue Reading →
I realize that this post probably has the most unusual title, but I promise it will make sense. A few weeks ago, I wrote about some places I wanted to visit in 2019. Baku, Azerbaijan was on that list. I managed to squeeze in a short trip & I am so grateful that I did.... Continue Reading →
Hi there! Once again, I have been absent from my blog far too long & I feel that my apologies & excuses are becoming ineffective. Anyway, I have been very busy & I have been getting a lot of time in new places which is fantastic for me, but it means I lose focus on... Continue Reading →
