I used to treat myself to a bouquet of flowers weekly to spruce up my apartment and my attitude. Seriously – how can you be stressed or angry with a colorful bouquet of flowers in your home? I made a decision to enjoy flowers every day as opposed to just special occasions or worse yet – to wait for people to bring them to me. Even though I travel full time – I realized that I can still make fresh flowers a part of my life by incorporating flower travel into my itineraries. I was recently invited to the Netherlands to experience the spring flowers – something that I’ve…

The Hara Military Base was built by the Soviets between 1956 and 1958 and was used while they occupied Estonia until they fled in 1991 around the time of their independence. At that time, the only thing they left behind was a barren concrete structure, which has since been defaced by graffiti and strained from years of Baltic wind, rain and snow. Rich but worn out textures atop a cement facade above and below the water’s edge meets weathered and rusted structures, ladders, chains and latches. Among the debris are weakened…
