The past two years were a blur. I didn’t think it was possible to feel like so many things happened and nothing much really happened at the same time. But there they were, 2020 & 2021. The strangest of all my years.

Lisbon
When I look back on our Euro trip last year, I find myself in Lisbon. I don’t know why. We didn’t tour much. We didn’t see much. And it was our second-to-last stop, so we were pretty exhausted at that point. We chose to just chill and take it slow. But over the years I…

“Hmmm. Interesting.”
A few years ago, we were invited to speak at the World Tourism Forum in Istanbul. On the first night, there was a dinner with government officials. I was seated next to a Slovenian diplomat. When I introduced myself, her reply was, โYour name is Yoshke? Really?โ I said yes and then she asked if…
