It never ceases to amaze me that personal sized pizzas are something like $25-$45 in Switzerland. While I’ve gotten accustomed to doubled housing costs, higher grocery bills, a thousand different types of taxes, the pizza cost still blows my mind, maybe the most. You can drive over the border and have a delightful pie for…

Tara, the Titi’s, and a lot of hot cheese- Notes from a first date in Switzerland
As promised, something different from recipe or hotel reviews, an outtake from expat life. The last thing I probably needed during the early days of my heavy cancer diagnosis was a first date, so naturally, I would have to have one. After ending things with Jack, my first real Swiss boyfriend, at the end of…
2022 Third Eye Thoughts
The always inspiring Third Eye Thoughts that always keep me in check on IG had a gorgeous start to the year. Had to share. Onwards and upwards…
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, lovely readers! Wishing you all a fruitful and healthy 2022 which we all deserve after the maelstrom that was 2019-2021. While visiting my parents’ house in the US over the holidays, my eyes kept gravitating to one particular book on the shelves that house a variety of subjects acquired over the years-…
Half Year Reset
The tail end of 2020 brought quite a few changes to my life and I couldn’t imagine a better book to unknowingly help me through the chaos than “Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice form the Best in the World” from Tim Ferriss. I always gobble up Tim’s content with a fervor, but this book…
#38: The Intro is the Outro (of 2020)
My birthday always lands dangerously close to New Year’s, which a lot of reflection and introspection packed into such a short time, but I’m here for it. This is hands down my favorite time of year, action packed with holidays, on the cusp of boring winter, time to recover and start anew. So, this morning,…
2019 or Bust!
Happy last day of 2018, dear friends! I am that nerd who is totally enamored with new years. I love that there is a solid line drawn in the sand to reset and make a conscious effort to restart and be better. I love the actual evening of – getting all gussied up to be…
Ex Anniversaries and Steak Salad Nicoise
Last week would have been my twelfth wedding anniversary and I never really know what to do with that day any more. I look forward to the next great relationship so that I don’t feel the need to mark it any longer, but for now, we persist. The last few years I’ve spent it as…
2016 Wrapped Up
“2016, playing dirty, not clean.” – Drake Elated this year is over, as just about everyone is it seems. Rather than dwell on the meme-worthy awfulness of the year, I decided to take a look back at the best bits. Solo-travel watercolour sunrises on Miami Beach. Some of my fav ladies enjoying a party at…
This is 34
Another year in the books lands me at “this is 34.” I suppose 34 feels about right. Old enough to have figured out who I am and smart enough not to make the same mistakes twice. Young enough to have so much to look forward to and plenty of time to improve life and make…
