The original EverTheNomad blog was born in 2008 and lived happily until early 2014. It had a rich and exciting life, which featured fun series like guest posts from expats writing about their adopted homes (from Santiago to Gabon), an interview series called Local Voices Croatia and Global Glimpses that showcased snapshots and mini-stories from my travels. It supported several Passports with Purpose fundraisers, brought me many friends I still keep in touch with and provided a platform for writing whatever and however I pleased. It lives on in these pages. Please poke around.
I just returned from a weeklong journey around Israel. The highlights of the trip are many.

Back in July, as I was packing up for a two-month sojourn in Europe, a book arrived in the mail – Wanderlust and Lipstick: The Essential Guide for Women Traveling Solo.

I returned from the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora just a couple of days ago. Since, I've been writing away to meet my deadlines and feeling jet-legged. Hence my blog silence.

I spent five days visiting friends in Berlin last week and walked away from the German capital with a conclusion: If I were to move back to the old continent, Berlin would be my city of choice. It's definitely, methinks, the coolest capital in Europe. Things I love about it: the laid-back vibe, gritty glamor,...
