The Best Sweet Treat in the World! Promise.

I didn’t think it would be possible to find yummy dates in America but I’m here to confirm it is!  You may have to do a little hunting, but the hunt is worth the catch.

The First Thing I Look For When I’m Overseas

However, I stand by my suggestion:  Stop in the local grocery store of the country you’re visiting or living in.

Culture Shock: Back in The United States

This is hilarious. I can’t believe I’m addressing this. When I came back from the Dominican Republic a few years ago I remember the study abroad organization sent me an email warning me about “culture shock”.

My Fellow American’s in Dubai

For some reason, I assumed there would be American’s all over Dubai. Everyone speaks English, there’s a bustling economy – I thought American’s like to get out & explore the world!

Myth Busting Dubai

I’m not really sure where the idea that Dubai is not safe comes from. Probably the generalization of the entire Middle East
