All right, lovelies. 🕊️
I was going to write a lighter piece for the free-to-read this week, but then I ran into another North American living in my apartment complex, at least for a few months.
The encounter reminded me how many ways we travel messily in the world, so today I’m sharing anecdotes from that exchange, tough personal history in the background, & suggestions for how to be a better visitor in other lands.
(I owe you a lit piece & an activist one next week!)

Wholeheartedly agree!
There are so many ways to exist well together. It's a shame we downplay all the wonder that can grow in the gaps between different spoken tongues.
Also - it sounds like you had a great crew, and experience, in that kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing.
