Becoming a global volunteer

February 20, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” – Mother Teresa Four years ago, I was finally at the point in my life in which I was able to set a new goal for myself. I made the decision that I would spend one week a year abroad as a global volunteer, giving back to a host community. After years of traveling around the world, I realized how incredibly fortunate I am to be able to see […]

Beyond the Beautiful Forevers

January 18, 2013 by thirdeyemom

This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is: Beyond. I was inspired by the challenge’s subject of Morocco as it is a place that has many fascinating views of beyond especially from the perch of a traditional Riad. The topic also reminded me of perhaps one of the best books I’ve read in a long time “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” by Katherine Boo. The book is non-fiction and takes place in the slums of Mumbai beyond the airport. There is much beyond […]

Circles

December 8, 2012 by thirdeyemom

“A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end – and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral”. -Maynard James Keenan This week’s travel theme from Ailsa over at “Where’s my Backpack” is a fun one: Circles. I could go on and on about the symbolic nature of circles but instead I’m going to do a quick post celebrating some of my favorites circles I’ve seen during my […]

Eating your way abroad

July 13, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Ailsa’s weekly travel theme is a wondrous topic that everybody loves: Food. When we travel, experiencing the local cuisine is perhaps one of the highlights of any trip. When I travel, I like to try as many authentic local places as possible and experiment with different kinds of foods I wouldn’t normally eat or order at home. I find that eating like a local is the best way to taste your way through a new country and learn a bit […]

Travel theme: Oceans

June 13, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Ailsa over at Where’s my Backpack launched a new travel theme for the week in honor of World Ocean’s Day on June 8th. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you’ve probably guessed that I would much rather be hiking somewhere in the mountains rather than sitting aimlessly on a beach. That is not to say that I haven’t been to some amazing beaches in my life, in particular along the Greek Isles, Hawaii, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands […]

Photo Challenge: Rhythm

June 4, 2012 by thirdeyemom

Ailsa over at Where’s My Backpack did it again with a tricky weekly photo challenge: Rhythm. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enter it this week as I’ve been busy with company in town and I thought I didn’t have any good photos for this challenge. Yet sometime at one of those half awake moments during the middle of the night I remembered that I do indeed have some photos that capture the true essence of rhythm. When I […]

Markets: An afternoon in the souq

May 27, 2012 by thirdeyemom

A fellow WordPress Blogger, Ailsa over at “Where’s my backpack” did it again with this week’s travel theme of Street Markets. What a fantastic topic for who doesn’t love the vibrant colors and fragrances of a world market? Markets are amazing as they give you such a slice of culture. Whether it be the divine floral markets of Paris to the brilliant indigenous markets of Peru, a market always has a treasure to find. One of my favorite markets of […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects

April 13, 2012 by thirdeyemom

For this week’s photo challenge “Two Subjects” I couldn’t decide. I was torn between two completely different pictures in two different countries: Iceland and Morocco. So I picked Two Subjects with two subjects (ha ha…hope you liked my play on words!). Here are the two I chose.

Why I travel: An insight into why I became the thirdeyemom

August 11, 2011 by thirdeyemom

Ever since I was a small girl, I had always traveled. Of course as a child it was not by choice but by destiny. I just so happened to have two young parents who loved to see the world and had eloped during the tender age of 23 and 25 to Europe to get married in the sixties.
