Our contributor Carrie just moved from Bali to Mendoza, Argentina. In her blogpost Leaving Bali. In a word: heartbroken, she talks about their life in Bali and the things she’ll miss.
“I was never naïve enough to think that Bali would be forever, and yet, without a doubt, am still heartbroken at leaving.”
Jenna, our contributor from Poland, wrote Notes from the Martin Luther King Monument, in which she describes a visit to the MLK Memorial in Washington, DC, and the emotions it evoked.

DeeBee, our contributor from France, goes on a tour of the art at the Bastille Metro Station on The Republic in the Metro, where scenes from the French Revolution are depicted.
