I’m in the midst of renewing my visa. When I moved here, I committed to at least 3 years. That was a comfortable timeframe because I could have the experience of traveling and working abroad, and still be back in the US before I turned 40.

Vegan Tempeh Cheesesteak Recipe
I love tempeh with my soul. I love it almost as much as falafel. It isn’t very popular here (neither is vegetarianism), but if I’m quick, I can buy it every other Wednesday at the Asian Shop. They don’t stock much of it, so I keep track of “Tempeh Wednesdays,” and I’ve always got at… Continue Reading

For the Love of Travel
Every new place I travel is my favorite. Berlin was my first major European city and despite being incredibly uncomfortable due to the snow and sub-zero temperatures, I was overwhelmed by its history. Next came Italy. Italy!!! Rome was so beautiful I cried. Really. What must it be like to live in a city that… Continue Reading
