I’m a little late to this conversation, but I’ve been obsessed with the concept of Third-Culture Kids since I read the article a few weeks ago. The author published it over 18 months ago (where have I been?!?) – I feel like I’ve been missing out on an important discovery! (To read the article, you […]

Travel to: Philadelphia
(Also known as “Coming Home”) It’s been a whirlwind since landing stateside a few (or more) weeks ago. There was a birthday and Thanksgiving, then unpacking and settling in, then THE HOLIDAYS (which is always overwhelming, even without the trauma of trans-Pacific relocation). I haven’t had much time to think about what it means to […]
Sweet as: Visiting our UK family
The English countryside is picture perfect in summer! As a prelude to my family’s biannual reunion in June, we stopped in the UK for 4 days to spend time with the Kiwi’s family. Really, it was the only way to get from New Zealand to Israel – flying to the west coast of the US […]
Travel to: Dunedin
Dunedin: through the looking glass Even though it’s only about 3 hours from Queenstown, Dunedin hadn’t really registered as a “destination” for me. Only after I was told that I needed to go there (as part of the immigration vortex) did it hit me that Dunedin is a cool city. I only vaguely remembered it from […]
Sweet as: the Journey
I’m a little out of order on my posts, and for that I apologize. I owe you one on moving day and everything that went with it – it was chaotic but fabulous! In the meantime, I’m on the road and thought I’d jot down some thoughts. I “borrowed” that image and quote from a […]

Sweet as: Luggage Upgrade!
One of the big things stressing me out right now is how I’m going to get all of my clothes to New Zealand. I thought I was ahead of the game by segregating my closet into three categories: Take now (hey, hey – it’s summer down under!) Round 2 (come back for these *loved* winter items) […]
Sweet as: the Countdown
S**t just got real. Not that it wasn’t real a week ago, or a month ago. But now I have a one-way airline ticket to Queenstown, New Zealand (which, on a side note, costs a fortune), and that makes it very very real. I’m actually moving. So the countdown has officially begun! There’s no procrastinating […]
Travel to: Barcelona
I studied in Madrid in college, and I always considered it to be the more staid, older sibling to the younger, artsy Barcelona. When I traveled Europe after business school, I got to know Barcelona a little better – it was a mature city in its own right, with no need for my sibling comparison. […]
Travel to: Vienna
On one of my many trips to London for work, I tacked on a week to visit some classic European cities that had been on my list for a long time. Vienna was an easy flight from London, and its architecture is stunning. I wasn’t very prepared for this trip – I landed in the […]
Travel to: Thailand
Thailand was an unexpected trip for me. It was somewhere on my bucket list, but admittedly there were plenty of other places I had intended to see before this one. But – as it happens – a good friend of mine from business school was planning a milestone birthday celebration in Phuket, and despite the […]
