This week in Prague felt like I was back at home. Although over 4,000 miles away from my actual home in Pittsburgh, the consecutive weekends travelling and then getting right back to work in Prague was a little bit much the past few weeks.

“Write” where I belong: reflections from Sydney
Back in my hometown, I am extremely grateful to have made it here safe and surrounded by family. Despite this, I am mourning the fact that Bondi beach isn’t a bus ride away, that I can no longer tell people that I am a journalist, and that this experience in Australia has come to an…
