Why New Mexico Is The Most Underrated State

When I said I was going to New Mexico this August, 99% of people looked at me and asked where in Mexico I was going to be traveling to. What many people don’t realize is that New Mexico is indeed part of the United States. It’s also known as the Land of Enchantment for a […]

Istanbul: Trapped in an accessory store

I was trapped in an accessory store on a balmy Saturday evening. It was my last night in Istanbul. I had only a few hours to shop and eat doner kebabs one last time before going home to the States. Oh and sit in a Nargile cafe with a mint flavored hookah! Outdoor Nargile cafe […]
