Life Is a Circus: Surprises from the Big Top
Our lives have taken an unexpected twist that we’re all three (me, Armando and Mork) pretty excited about: we’re going to have an additional traveler as a part of…

‘There are pieces of us everywhere I step, so I try to step carefully.’
The only excuse I can give for being quiet on the blog is simple: it’s been…
We spent more time than expected in Patras, Greece waiting for the ferry, but it did give us a chance to a.) sleep in a restaurant parking lot and…
This is going to be a mini-bitch fest, for those of you that think only of the upside of the freedom of Mork living. There is, of course, a…
We’ve had an interesting* time of it in Athens, so far. Not the best, the worst but perhaps a lot of quirky and curious in-betweens. We started our Athens…
We’ve decided to take a trip back to the beginning* of our digital nomad travel tale, more in-depth than when we began with ‘Unexpectedness.’
It makes sense, considering we began…
The past few days travelling from Thessaloniki have been full of ssshhh…ness. And we’ve been overjoyed. I don’t know who’s happier, Armando with his Alp history or me with…
Back on the road. After 2 weeks in Thessaloniki we finally moved and put Mork back on his wheels. We’re heading towards Athens, but not so fast, a slow…
It’s been an odd, if interesting few days. Involving something called ‘Tourist Police,’ Nigerians and a thwarted thief with a twisted sense of humor. Not all together, mind.
The hostel/hotel…
It was almost omen-esque of me to mention ‘togas’ in the last post, because we rang in the New Year’s with Armando’s version. Before I get into that, I’ll…
To be honest, when I think about the term ‘Greek History,’ I have a hard time getting John Belushi out of my head screaming ‘Toga! Toga! Toga!’
So, being in…
It’s been a refreshing change, coming to Greece. Our first ‘culture shock’ was the amount of English spoken/understood/used.
We decided on Alexandroupolis as our first port of parking, and after…
We should have seen it coming, really. I mean, we’d stayed in Turkey for over 2 months. An Italian and an American traveling in a German van with Bulgarian…
It’s always amusing to us the reactions we get when we tell people where we live. More times than not, there are glazed eyes, goofy grins and ‘I’m so…
We were tourists in Istanbul, finally, at the end of our 2+ month stay. We decided to visit the most popular sites to see what all of the hubbub…
Food is one of the more important aspects of living abroad.
There truly is no way of expressing how delicious comfort food is, or the delicacy in being in a…
One of the second-most common questions we get asked is about our work. Armando’s told you about his film work, so it’s probably time I explain what it is…
The hijab is an integral part of any Muslim culture, and from a Western viewpoint it can be easily- badly- judged. It’s something that I’m trying to educate myself…
It’s true, another year has expired with me in its circumference. I’m not complaining, in the least. This is how I spent my birthday in Istanbul.
I have a gorgeous…
The service industry in Turkey comes in the expected forms, i.e. waiters, but they add a significant twist: the delivery.
We’ve tried (and failed) to find something in Istanbul that…
