Life, Love And Liberation: A Pre-Quarantine Tale
This is a tale about life, love, and liberation. The most important lesson I learned when I ended my engagement in September 2016 was that life is meant to be lived. If you allow someone or something to hold you back, you will never appreciate your life for the miracle it truly is.

Riding in an All Women Train Car in Japan
During my time living in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan I’ve had on occasion to use the women only cars on trains, only a few times; usually when I or my wife felt threatened by drunk men at weird hours, or when the crush of people was such that groping was sure to happen. That being said I’ve found that many people are interested in the experience so I’ll share a bit about it. It should be noted that my experiences are for the local trains, and that I haven’t taken a women’s only car cross country in Japan, however the differences according to friends are very minimal.

Beach Bag Essentials for a Stress-Free Girls Trip. Top Story - July 2019. Created with: INTIMINA.
Summer is here, and that means it’s time to go to the beach. Everyone loves that wonderful ocean smell, the way the sand feels between your toes, and the warm sun-kissed glow a day at the beach gives your skin. Beach-going is glamorous, fun, and a perennially summer thing to do. I mean, who doesn’t love sipping drinks near the sea?

The Top 10 Most Female-Friendly Countries in the World
Why must women go out and fight for rights and opportunities that are just handed to men? The freedoms that women are given depend on how female-friendly their country is. As times become more progressive, many countries seem to be narrowing the gender gap by reforming policies in order to create a society that is more inclusive of women. It is vital to the continuance of spreading feminism around the world. The global gender gap report measures gender equality using four main principles: economic participation, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. Nordic countries seemed to have figured out that, in order to have a thriving and stable economy, women and men must have equal rights. In contrast, women in countries like Saudi Arabia are discriminated against, and have minimal basic rights, having just gained the right to drive. Even in female-friendly countries where women have made significant progress, there is still much work to be done in order to completely close the gender gap.
