I was discussing my SUMMER VACATIONS with Juhi Haria, my little sister in law when I realised its that time of the year...approaching .. Ohh Nostalgia !! When I was young, the final exams would be the hardest but the fastest to go by because there was the anticipation of the big trip here of a luxury holiday there. Oh how i miss that. No, I am not taking any big SUMMER HOLIDAYS. The only trip I am really looking forward to is my business trip to Kazaksthan. No, No.. not releated to blog. It's my real job which allows me very little time for this blog on one hand but on the other gives me enough time to follow my passion :)
I’ve had travel on the brain lately. A few weeks ago, I re-watched one of my all-time travel favorites – An Idiot Abroad (Not for everyone, but it appeals to my dry sense of humor). I got stuck in a bit of a travel show spiral and it made me excited to hit the road. My travel wish list is growing longer with every one of these books. But for now, the books are less expensive than a plane ticket. Happy armchair travels!

Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
