Travelling has been in my blood since I was born. I like to think that I was born in the travel agency where my mother worked instead a hospital. I knew how to spell Morocco before most children knew how to tie their shoes. Growing up there explains why I am in bliss whenever I…

Dealing with change is the most difficult thing for me. I always fall back on the familiar. Old habits really do die hard. My entire academic career should have prepared me for this moment. Yet, I have never felt more unprepared or scared in my life. I was always ready for graduation. I looked forward to never…
