Austria… A place for everyone
When people think of Europe, people most likely think Spain, Portugal, France, Italy… but what about Austria? Not many people think of putting Austria onto their maps.

Alcohol went hand in hand with celebration, commiseration, sad times, happy times and everything in between. Most of all, though, alcohol was a trusty travel companion, and no journey or holiday would…

Carefully Keto
Exploring the keto diet Covid hit us hard. For me, it was near the end of our first lockdown when I felt some changes needed to be made. I hadn’t exercised much and had, honestly, gained so much weight from sitting around waiting for the world to heal itself. Then one day, my aunt told…

Learn to make Moqueca
Delicious recipe and story from the vegan-raw chef, Mariana Rose As you may know, I am interested in all that is related to cooking.

Acceptance
Learn to live an “it’s it what it is” kind of life. Life gets better when you start accepting it for what it is. No, it’s not a call to raise a white flag, but sometimes, you’ve got to take things for what they are and keep moving forward. There may be so many outcomes…
