He did not speak a word of English so I ended up helping translate through his language barrier using Spanish as our common language.

I found a shop run by a man named Matrix who … [Read more...]

Amasya, a Gem in Turkey’s Black Sea Region

I recently discovered a secret Greece has been hiding from the world. It’s called Meteora. The town is a hidden gem, a few hours from Athens. Fully prepared to be swept off my feet by the island of Santorini, I fell in love instead with this magical place, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. My dad was turning 70 in September.
