    Can we normalise NOT getting married? The more I think about it, the more I realise that books and movies do us no favours. How are mindsets ever going to change if we don’t normalise that getting married is a choice - and it’s perfectly normal to choose either way?

    What are the odds that today, India celebrates Holi with a holika fire, Iran celebrates Nowruz by jumping over fires and here in Armenia, there’s a Pagan celebration for the god of fire? The ancient beliefs of the world live on, even if borders and religions seemingly divide us.

    Spent a few days living in a cabin in the High Tatra Mountains of Slovakia. Hiked along gushing rivers, rode a rustic bicycle amid yellow rapeseed fields, went on long walks, witnessed fiery sunsets, listened to Slovakian radio by the fireplace at night 💚 #slovakia #travel

    When HP reached out to me about their #SpreadYourVibe campaign, I knew I’d relate to the message. There are two ways to live - giving in to our circumstances, or drawing inspiration from them. Let 2019 be the year we pick the latter.

    3 weeks in Central Asia (Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) has just left me craving for more. Insane beauty and architecture, shared history, warm locals, safe even alone. Thanks USAID for this opportunity, and everyone for following along. Is Central Asia on your travel wishlist?
