Hello World (Again)
Well hello there! It sure has been a while… You haven’t heard from me in something like 15 months. And for that, I owe you an explanation: The last time I published on this site was in November 2015, where I told you about my time in Dubai. I even left you with a bit […]

Baggage facilities. It’s tough work, I’m sure. But you could really stand to learn a thing or two from Asia… Yes, Asia is putting […]
I don’t know about you, but I am a HUGE fan of graffiti! Ever since I spotted the graffiti of protest on Israel’s “Security Wall” in Bethlehem, I really began to understand just how powerful this form of art can be! Lately, New York City has been on a graffiti craze, with the famous British street […]
