A Gypsy in Athens

Just as Greece is plopped between East and West, developing and developed, that gypsy girl sits astride poverty and stability. Both oddly comfortable but forced to beg, they know they have a right to something.

The perceptions of Rome that I had as a child came more from films than within classroom walls.

Foreigners in Ethiopia

“Forengi” is the word for “foreigner” here, something I learned when I heard a few locals say it to me on the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It’s not an insult; the people are merely pointing out that I look different, and I am indeed from another country.

Located on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, Cartagena is known for its warmth and natural beauty.
