Expat in Istanbul | Sara Rubenstein
Where are you from originally? I’m from West Chester, Ohio. It’s a suburb outside Cincinnati. Where are you now? Now I’m in Istanbul, Turkey. My neighborhood is Ortaköy, which means “middle village”. What made you move? A whirlwind marriage. Just kidding! When I graduated university, I spent some time teaching English in Cambodia. I returned…

Traveling Spoon with House of Fusion Marrakech
I’ve stalled in writing this post because I wanted to attempt to recreate at least two of the dishes we were taught in class. It wasn’t until I went searching for ingredients that I realized even New York City doesn’t offer as many produce options as you’d think. But that was then and this is…

Traveling with Lojel
This is Valencia and Plum leaving their riad in Marrakech. They had a whirlwind exploration of Morocco and Spain, and have since been resting in their dusters. For those who don’t know me, I name inanimate objects in my life to give them more character. If they are going to be vibrant, vivacious, and a…

My nights at Sonesta Ocean Point
I’ve never not wanted to be in the city more than I have in 2017. Man, oh, man is it tiresome, and brutal, and rambunctious, simultaneously when you need it the least. And yes, many of you can say, “Tillie… then move.” Way ahead of you smart ass, that’s already in the works, but until…

Tips to know before going to: Marrakech – Part 2
Just to quickly clear things up as some folks are confused, I didn’t hate Marrakech at all. If anything, I loved it so much, there was a brief moment where I nearly extended my trip. The only reason I didn’t was the six-room riad I resided, was completely booked. Sooooo, yeah. Anyway, now we’re on to…

Tips to know before going to: Marrakech – Part 1
Last week, I spent the most glorious six days and five nights in Morocco. It was my first time traveling to Africa unescorted. In the past it has always been with family, or meeting up with a group, but this was an adventure I was excited to take on. So before this long awaited trip,…

Azul isn’t just Spanish for blue
One of my missions while in St. Maarten was to enjoy as much island delicacies as possible. I wanted frozen drinks with every meal, fresh seafood as often as possible, and flavors bursting off every taste bud. My vision was that I’d have to try different places on the island to satiate my cravings, but 9…

Tillie’s travel diaries – Nonstop from NYC to SXM
It was my first time in the Caribbean and I never wanted to leave. It’s Thursday morning, a little before 6AM, and I’m gazing at the insane lines Anne has convinced me will take seconds to get through with the easy pass purchase from JetBlue. I’m slightly hesitant because I want to save all my…

Tillie’s travel diaries – NYC to HOU
…with a stop in Charlotte, NC. Hey ho everyone. I’m actually writing this from the plane. No, I didn’t pay the $16 all day pass for American Airlines. I’m sitting in the cabin on the runway, as everyone else boards. This ticket is actually thanks to my dope ass bosses. So let me give a quick…
