  • My First Impression Of Mexico

    I can’t remember when it first appeared. This pull to go to Mexico, but I had put it off due to fear for about a year. Fear from what we see on the sensationalized news about Mexico. But in a small corner of my mind, I could see colours, music, a history I didn’t know…

  • Exploring Berlin, Germany For A Few Days: What I Got Up To

    Berlin, I’m still undecided how I feel about this city. On the one hand, you have the biggest fans who all announce that Berlin has so much to offer and there are so many things to do vs the nay sayers who downright dislike Berlin. I guess you can’t spend time in Germany without checking…
