August 18, 2019

This is my 50 before 50 bucket list. This post might be remembered by long-time readers as it was pinned as a page for the longest time. It’s not one of those l can’t die without doing this list.

It’s more like things I would like to do by the time I hit that milestone age. It all started during my high school years in Boston. I had a list of places I wanted to visit and things l wanted to learn or do, including visiting the most popular destinations. Like every girl l knew, I had my little notebook that l jotted things in. As the saying goes, I am a day late (make that five years!) and a dollar short. Read all about the progress.

Immigrant life has been illuminating to say the least. Sometimes l have to pinch myself because it seems that the past five years have just flown by. Technically, it is 5 years and 4 months to the day we left the U.S in search of greener pastures. Long time readers know that we got tired of the rat race, and things really came to a head after my sister’s passing. Our dreams of travel had somehow gotten pushed into the background and we found ourselves saddled with jobs, cars, house (no white picket fence though) and 2 dogs instead of little human beings.

Three months after my sister died, Federico’s dad also passed away. At that point, I had come to hate my retail pharmacist job. It was no longer fun, and actual patient care became came secondary to company greed. It was more important to sell patients crap from the front store, and pharmacists became salesmen. We were basically asked to bully people into buying medication, something that left a sour taste in my mouth. It was time to get the hell out of Dodge. So we did!

why fear should have your ears, not your balls image of tower bridge — You don’t want to miss gorgeous sites like this if you can help it.

Why fear should have your ears, not your balls you ask? I will do my best to explain why. With the recent events that have happened not just in western countries like Brussels and Paris but also in far-flung third world countries such as Ivory Coast, Kenya and Istanbul.

It would be impossible to say that fear is not at the forefront of every traveler’s thoughts. We are only human. To us and hopefully to you, life is still a precious thing. The same thing can not be said for the cowardly terrorists that are sprouting up like weeds all over the world.
