As my airplane descended, I glanced upon Bucharest’s post-communistic skyline and realized there and then that my stay in Romania would be one to remember. After settling in, I hurriedly left my seemingly inexpensive hotel room and roamed the streets of Romania’s capital. During my first day in Bucharest, I toured the magnificent marble ballroom […]

A friend and I went on a 31 day Australian vacation that included 14 days on a Wallaby farm as a volunteer. We left after 7 days because the living conditions were unbearable. Sharing a kitchen with 3 dogs, a wombat and a kangaroo, plus finding a python in our sleeping quarters was an experience.

Several years ago, after school was out, I’m a elementary school teacher, I took a trip to San Jose and stayed downtown in a hotel not too far from a small school. Every morning I awoke to the sounds of children playing in the yard during the day. For me that is a very familiar sound. One […]
