When a single client sends you 66 apostilles to process, it gets people talking, and that’s exactly what happened when I shared the story online last week.

That post reached over 16.7k people, sparked 220 likes, and generated dozens of comments and private messages. Some people wanted to know how I...

If you've ever wondered what real patience looks like, let me introduce you to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It’s been under construction for more than 140 years!

I’m baaack from a fabulous trip through the Mediterranean. Back to reality, I suppose. While away I daydreamed of ways to live in those beautiful countries. Retirement? Never, too boring for me.

Anyway, we’re pulling into the port in Rome, and I plan on ...

I’m about to embark on what is officially my first real vacation in I don’t know how many years. 

Seriously, I’ve lost count. As I set sail on a cruise this week (yes, a real cruise!) with one of the stops in beautiful Greece, I couldn’t help but think about how Greece plays its part in the Hague A...
