Let's talk about famous jinxes for minute. There's the famous "curse of the Bambino," which kept the Red Sox from being world champions after selling Babe Ruth and Famously broken by a hobbled Curt Schilling and co. There's the "curse of the Billy Goat," still keeping the Chicago Cubs from the championship after they kicked a billy goat out of the stands during the world series against my Detroit Tigers.
Then there's the time I said "Hey, there's not a problem with bugs or roaches in the apartment." Then it got colder out. It's kind of like the swallows returning to Capistrano, but a lot grosser.
Just when I was getting used to the cat urine....
I'm heading to Plovdiv for the weekend. I have lots of updates when I get back.

About Me
Wait, so what's this all about?
I've lived quite a few places in the last few years. Since I graduated from Northwestern University and finished my two years with Teach for America in Chicago, I have lived in Sofia Bulgaria, Karlskrona, Lund and Malmö Sweden. In between, I have traveled to fifteen countries and logged more flights and train mileage than I care to remember.
Of course with all those trip have come a lot of unique experiences. If you asked me back in 2007 if I could imagine myself in a baptism in a small Italian village, or hiking a mountain in Morocco, I probably would have have had some doubts. Of course, I've done those things, and more, since.
This is where I like to share those experiences. Not only the bare details and experiences of finding new places, but also some of the things that I learn from travel. Mark Twain said "travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness." In my experience I would have to say it holds up a mirror to your own perceptions unlike anything else.
Hope you enjoy!
