I first heard about free walking tours from the Edinburgh Free Walking Tour! And then I heard about the Nice one (which I have not yet finished), so when I knew I had about two half-days in Ljubljana, I immediately went to check if there was a free walking tour… and there was! There are… Read More Tour Review: Ljubljana Free Walking Tour
Hi friends! For the second post in this sustainabiliTEA series, we’ll be taking a look at not one, but a group of tea farmers in Saitama!

I was looking through my Overdrive wishlist when I found this! A true crime story plus author biography mashup sounded interesting, especially since I enjoyed The Man Who Would Be Sherlock. In The Beautiful Cigar Girl, Stashower takes the reader through the murder of Mary Rogers and the literary career of Edgar Allen Poe. Mary… Read More Book Review: The Beautiful Cigar Girl by Daniel Stashower
So I coincidentally finished another roll of Gudak photos a month after the previous one. And since I wanted to write a short update post saying: “hey, I’m leaving on a school trip and only have two scheduled posts, so you may not see me as much” (this is the whole update), I thought I’d… Read More Another Month in Photos
