Travel Bucket List Inspired by My Favorite Travel Instagram Accounts
Despite feeling inferior compared to the galaxy on starry nights, I really don’t believe the world is a small place. The more I travel, the more I want to keep traveling. Wanderlust has consumed me and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Ever since Instagram developed the post saving feature, this infection has only…
Dating Your City: A New Version of Urban Medicine
In the phases I’m not traveling, I feel as if each new day competes with the last to further grow an uneasy feeling of routine on my skin.

Cheating on Toronto: Zahra Takes Ottawa
I’ve been in a long term relationship and I love my partner, but sometimes I just need some alone time to recoup. I’m not cheating, but I never believed in monogamy in the first place. I came to Ottawa with the expectation of three buildings: one being Parliament Hill the others the two universities in…
The American Nightmare in Houston, TX

A weekend with cows, dinosaurs, and a whole lotta love
This weekend, I visited the city of Uberaba, it is in the state of Minis Geris and just a little bigger than Franca. Traveling there came as a surprise to some of my friends because it’s not a place many people visit unless one has family there. Lucky for me, I had a really good…
Dating the World, One Small City at a Time
You live your life, 20, 30, 50, 90 years, sometimes only in one city, and you still don’t go on top of that famous mountain or eat at the corner restaurant all the tourists chatter about. It’s a 20-minute walk from your apartment, but you think, what’s the point? I can go there anytime, this…
