Monday Musings: Sunsets and Seeing What Is Around You
“Never get so busy in life that you forget the simple things such as the beauty of a sunset.” In life, we often get caught up in things, such as our jobs, social life, family, school, diets etc. We tend to forget to do the things that make us happy;…
Monday Memories: The Many Doors of Marrakech
Exactly three years ago, I made my first (and unfortunately only at this time) trip over to Africa. Now, it may have only been to Morocco, but it was still an African country even with the heavy European influence. A friend I met whilst working in France and I decided to…
Monday Memories: Paris in the Rain
I have been thinking a lot about France and Paris recently. I have no idea why I fell in love with the city so much, but there are two places that make my heart flutter – Chicago (which to me means home!) and Paris. *le sigh?* For my Monday Memories –…

Continuing with last Wednesday’s blog on Hong Kong, I am moving onto city number two on CNN’s List of Most Visited Cities, which is Singapore. Singapore rivals Hong Kong in many ways: both are former British Crown colonies, they are two of the leading financial cities in the world, they both…
Wander Wednesdays: Hong Kong’s “Quieter” Side – Chi Lin Nunnery
A few days ago, CNN posted a list of the World’s Most Visited Cities. I have been to 13 of the Top 25, and it is no surprise that the city I loosely currently call home is number 1. Hong Kong had a whopping 25.6 million people visit in 2013.…
Sunday Reflections: The New Year
Another year has come and gone. The end was full of joy and laughter, but yet again so much loss for myself once more. It is often so hard to stay positive and motivated when so many things are beyond your control. I guess this is why most people put…
