I recently went traveling through three cities in Eastern Europe and it was magic. Here are some photos and adjectives and a poem I wrote on a train. Bratislava, Slovakia Alleyways and early mornings Vienna, Austria Palaces and colored lights Budapest, Hungary Glittery views and sunshine I walk through cities …

Balkan Adventures
A couple of weeks ago, I rented a car and drove with some friends to Matka Canyon in Macedonia and Rugova Gorge in Kosovo. It was glorious. Cars are wonderful things. (Here are bits of a poem I wrote last week) We shake too much. That's our problem. My breaths My knees Your hands The …
Making Plans
Lately, the days have been going by so slowly yet incredibly quickly. It’s a weird phenomenon that I often find myself caught up in. On Wednesday, I was supposed to be creating lessons plans, but instead I created my Peach Plan. Context: peaches are in season and therefore the main fruit to be found at the …
Montenegro Part 3: Kotor (and the soaring of my spirit)

February: a brief history
It's been cold and snowy the past few days and I'm going to be honest with you, now that it's March my mild annoyance of the snow has turned into something close to hatred of it. I'm sorry, in 10 months I promise I'll be excited about it again. Lately my life has been so full …
The (Koso)days of my (Koso)life
So, I’ve been told that people want to know about my life. Not my whole life (that would be boring) but my Kosovo life. Kosolife, if you will. I guess that’s fair. I love hearing about other people’s adventures in countries and cultures different then my own. I’m also a writer and we all know …
