I loved the month in Croatia so unexpectedly. Our base was Split, a town on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. I always thought of myself as a big-city-person, thought that I liked the hustle and bustle and that I need a lot of stimulation around me. Living in Split for a month, however, and establishing a routine …
14-30th June, 2018: Belgrade and Mokrin Getting to Belgrade was hard. The first two days I felt very exhausted from traveling for so long, stressed out by the impending US income tax return deadline, sad from leaving Italy and Susanna, and uncertain and a bit apprehensive about reintegrating with the group.

1st-9th June, 2018: Sicily I had been wanting to go to Sicily for so long. When my good friend Susanna from Remote Year Ohana said she would go to do research for her food and wine retreat business, I jumped at the opportunity. I figured, when else do I get to go with a good …

It’s the time again to say goodbye to yet another amazing city. I got hit by a cold this week and didn’t feel well for a few days, but still managed to make something good out of it by making some great professional and local connections and enjoying the last bit of Marrakech. Monday, 23rd …
