Travelling is great fun! You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our new section, planes, trains & automobiles! Where did you choose to go and why? I was mostly around Europe and North America, with the exception of Thailand where I went for a friend’s wedding.
Where did you stay? Ever since I've discovered Air BnB, I only stay with locals in apartments which are off the main track. It's the best way to discover the city from within and also allows me to pretend for that short time I'm a part of it.
Who did you travel with? I always travel alone and am lucky enough to have Tell us about the sights no one the most amazing friends to meet or join me during should miss out on my trips. I don't know much about the touristy stuff but what no one should miss out on in any city is getting lost

in the streets. My best memories are of places which I just happened to stumbled upon.
travel diaries
Suggest places for a perfect night out For me a perfect night out is less about the place and more about the people you're with. Having said that,some of my best nights in the year were at these spots: Catch in the meatpacking district in New York followed by the rooftop at the Standard, Georges at the Pompidou Center in Paris, Mata Hari followed by Trouw in Amsterdam, Sketch in London and Hanami in Oslo. What can you do over there to relax and unwind? My favorite way is to rent a bike, laze and nap around parks and find hidden coffee shops.

bff ’ s Lovers come and go, but best friends are here to stay! You have had your best most memorable, stomach hurting laughs with them. They have an uncanny way of reading your mind. They keep you focused, pick you up when you are down and are always there which is simply priceless. You may be hating them sometimes but that’s only beacuse you love them. We get two best friends to tell us what they love and hate about each other.

The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself, and that becomes clear at the start of the week — especially if you find yourself projecting disowned parts of your own life onto the people around you. Just remember that taking responsibility isn’t the same as taking on blame or taking immediate action. Use the middle of the week to figure out what you want. By Friday, you’ll start to see ways to achieve those goals, but don’t decide on one path just yet. Over the weekend, some of your true feelings start to emerge, and they need space in order to become apparent.
Looking for answers isn’t nearly as important as making sure you’re asking the right questions, especially on Monday or Tuesday. When you really go beyond the superficial, you find that the issues at hand have very little to do with what you originally assumed were important. Wednesday and Thursday are good times to consolidate the discoveries you made earlier in the week, while on Friday and Saturday, you’ll find a myriad of ways to address them. Wait until Sunday, however, before you try to make any decisions about which way to move.
No matter how well you plan, you can never be totally sure of the outcome — which is why it’s helpful to pay attention to matters in front of you, big or small. At the week’s beginning, a small opportunity could turn out to be much, much bigger than you had envisioned, while by Wednesday or Thursday, it’s clear that something you had high hopes for turns out to be less expansive than you would have liked. Use Friday and Saturday to gather information — when you’re in the flow, the right stuff just seems to come to you. Sunday is a good time to get in touch with family.
You can get what you want … but first you have to figure out what you really want on Monday and Tuesday. That’s not as easy as it sounds, especially when you try and disentangle what others want for you and what you think you should want from your heart’s true desire. Wednesday and Thursday give you a better sense of stability to help you figure out your way, but beware of jumping to conclusions on Friday and Saturday, where the phrase ‘too much information’ is far too apt. On Sunday, listen to your higher instincts — they’ll steer you in the correct direction.

On Monday and Tuesday, you excel at starting projects; finishing them, however, is best left to Wednesday and Thursday. Just remember that the excitement of starting something can be exhilarating, but true satisfaction comes from seeing it through all the way to the end. Friday and Saturday are good times to think about all your possibilities and the various ways you can find to complete them, but hold off on going down one path or another. On Sunday, you’ll receive a piece of information that will tell you which way is truly the most beneficial for you.
You have some very specific wishes you’d like fulfilled at the start of the week. That’s a special kind of pleasure, when you know just what it is that you want. Be careful during the middle of the week as you pursue these goals — remember you can’t control all the elements in your life. Friday and Saturday, listen to the signals the universe is sending you. They may come in the most ordinary, workaday forms, but that doesn’t mean what they’re trying to convey doesn’t relate to all parts of your life. On Sunday, if you let yourself, you understand the meaning (and beauty) of ‘go with the flow.’
‘Integration’ is the key word for this week, especially as you explore all the oppositions and polarities within yourself. Walt Whitman was right: We all contain multitudes. On Monday and Tuesday, let your assertive, take-charge side come forward. You have more leadership skills than you suspected. Wednesday and Thursday are good days to be practical, business-like and detail-oriented. Friday and Saturday, let your inner flirt come to the fore. It’s fun being the belle of the ball. Why don’t you do this more often? Sunday, romance, connection, inner truths — those are all on the menu and more.
Smooth, charismatic, in control — these are all adjectives that can be accurately applied to you. But how attached are you to this image? During the first part of the week, let yourself go with the awkward pauses, false starts and all those bumpy parts of life. You can’t control them, and acknowledging that frees up a huge part of your energy. The middle part of the week is all about practical matters. The more you get done, the more time you have for fun on Friday and Saturday. Your heart expands in an unusual fashion on Sunday.

Getting your inner critic out of the way during the first half of the week helps you feel more relaxed and creative. You may find this easier on Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednesday and Thursday, this task might prove to be more difficult. On Friday and Saturday, your methods prove to be almost too effective as you find ideas and concepts simply flying out of your mouth. (Carry a pad and paper so none of this potential genius gets lost.) On Sunday, take a page from the Italians and ‘bel far niente’ — have a great time doing absolutely nothing.
Having someone tell you that you need to relax is one of the most stress-inducing statements ever. So you don’t need to relax, but you do need to have more fun. Let yourself be spontaneous and irreverent at the start of the week. It’s business time during the middle of the week — take care of all the practical matters that keep your life moving forward. On Friday and Saturday, being silly helps you blow off some steam, so gather some of your closest friends and cut loose. On Sunday, you have the sudden realization that taking care of your spirit is the most practical thing you can do.
It’s easy to see that you’re creative in one area of your life, but other channels may not be as freely flowing. On Monday and Tuesday, identify the areas where you’d like to have more energy, flexibility and inspiration. Then on Wednesday and Thursday, make a plan of attack and figure out how you can borrow from one aspect of your life and apply it to the others. On Friday and Saturday, participate in activities that are fun, whether that means rock climbing or hanging out at a community center. Use the last day of the week to enjoy some peaceful time at home.
Have you been letting someone in your life get away with far too much? At the week’s start, it’s time to see the truth. You may not need to have a talk with them, but you need to be honest with yourself. On Wednesday and Thursday, set new standards of behavior for yourself and others. Just remember that all change starts with small steps, and it’s the process, not the final outcome, that counts. Let yourself have fun on Friday and Saturday. Frivolity is a necessity, not an indulgence. On Sunday, remember that your feelings have as much weight and relevance as rationality and logic.
