Well, it’s the end of the year again. It’s been a pretty crazy year for me (maybe for you too?) and looking back I can hardly believe everything I got up to in the past 12 months.  I celebrated last New Year’s in Bangkok, drinking buckets and dancing on Koh San Road. The first three [...]

So you know how I have more things going on than I could possibly have time for? Well, maybe you don’t, but let me assure you I’m a busy, busy bee. So I’m not sure how Mike talked me into taking on another project. Maybe because it’s such a fun one: our very own series [...]

I’ve had roughly 6 years of formal language education (4 in Spanish, 2 in Italian) and nothing has ever stuck. I started to think it just wasn’t possible. When I first met Benny Lewis, who is known [...]
