Somewhere between allowance age and adulthood I lost the way. While I’ve donated sporadically to causes that friends bring […]

Astute readers of Alex in Wanderland may note that thus far I’ve had nothing but gushing praise for everything Icelandic (aside, I suppose, from the prices). It’s true, I love almost everything about this tiny island nation. However, Iceland is embroiled in an international debate over an issue that I feel so passionately about that I […]

Just as she was about to be dragged over some ragged rocks jutting out of the water, she was able to disentangle from the […]

The great thing about visiting a place for the second time is getting to do all the stuff you missed the first time around. One thing I skipped during my first whirlwind trip to Phnom Penh was a chance to visit Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center. Luckily I had with me another animal loving fool- Freya. […]
