Today is my California-versary again. I arrived here for the first time on September 9, 2001. 22 years. I’ve written about how I ended up in the US before (you can read about it here) and I still have days where I have to pinch myself to believe that I made...

I can’t believe it’s been four almost five weeks since I returned from my long-anticipated visit back home with my family. Time just won’t slow down and it’s been hard to get back into my blogging game (as you can tell). I had an absolutely wonderful time and soaked up...

Another year is in the books. It’s hard to sum up a year, but as always, I’ll try. Like last year, I created this little infographic. 2018 was a mixed bag. Some things didn’t go as planned, some things were frustrating as hell (especially politics), but we also had some wins this...

As I have shared numerous times over the last few weeks (and you’re probably tired of hearing about it already), my parents were here for 2,5 weeks at the beginning of the month and let me just say that we had the most wonderful time. Yes, it’s nice to have...

Another year comes to a close. It’s been a good year. It started out a little rough but then things got better and better. My word for the year was “now” and I am glad that I was able to put this word into action more times than not. January...

I haven’t consistently done annual recaps in the past, mostly because I was traveling over the holidays and didn’t find the time to do them, as I had so much stuff to catch up on. However, this year – inspired by some other bloggers – I decided to do a...
