I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Bamboos, cherry blossoms and a baby boy: Throwback freshness While I live in my time-zone limbo, I have been waxing nostalgic for some of my travel times of yore. This will be the first spring recess (break), in a long time, that I do not travel abroad with […]
The still air is no match for a six year old boy Luka, unlike his parents, seeks wild adventures and people connections. There is no kid, adult, or forest he fears approaching. As far as psychological temperament goes, he is most assuredly securely-attached. Breastfed until 16 months despite […]
