Being an Expat in India Compared to Mexico

Lately, I've noticed in Facebook comments people are asking what it's like being an expat in India compared to Mexico and if I can share a little bit about it.

How to Journey Calmer and Enjoy the Moment

I've been putting off this blog post for a month now, and even now staring at the screen from my Airbnb in Juhu, Mumbai, I don't really know how to start telling you all about this. But, since my flight out of India is Tuesday and I really am moving, I can't put it off

My First Ohio Winter Home in Over 5 Years

A few years ago, my parents had called from Ohio to India saying they were off work again due to snow and wind-chill. It was -32 degrees; so cold our dog couldn't walk outside without her paws getting stuck in the ice and snow. So imagine my surprise when I'm on the last of four
