So happy to celebrate the wedding of @xemac_ & @babaklops this weekend in #Toronto! Haven’t seen a couple more suited to each other and so glad I was able to be there to dance in their first hours. And to do it with so many of my beautiful colleagues was just a bonus! ❤️👰🏼🤵🏽💒💍❤️ . . . @zeegamer87 @greg_bouchard #wedding #persianwedding #married #theysaidido #canada #pioneervillage #blackcreekpioneervillage #groom #bride #wife #husband #happycouple

Auschwitz-Birkenau camps, Poland. Auschwitz I housed 60k prisoners while Auschwitz II was built for 100k prisoners. Upon arrival, most prisoners were ushered into the gas chambers, without protest, thinking they were taking a shower before being shown to their new homes. After 15 minutes, all occupants were dead and workers were tasked with removing the bodies and piling them, 3 deep, into a furnace for cremation. The crematoriums ran 24 hours a day. Gold teeth, jewelry and women’s hair were completely removed before cremation. The hair was sold to textile factories for making uniforms and use in other materials. The jewelry and gold was melted down in order to fund the Nazi’s cause. Although most people were killed in the gas chambers, an estimated few hundred were murdered by firing squad, against what was known as the Death Wall. The gate the Auschwitz II was known as the Death Gate while the wording above the gate to Auschwitz I reads “Work sets you free” . . . #auschwitz #auschwitzbirkenau #poland #neveragain #concentrationcamp

Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, Poland. Photos and belongings of prisoners who were forcefully transported there. Majority were sent to the gas chambers upon arrival and those who were not, only lived an average of 3 months in the labor camps. Two years after the camps were liberated, those who survived lobbied to turn the camps into museums so that the horrific acts committed there would never be forgotten or repeated. The first tour guides were those same survivors. “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana . . . #auschwitz #auschwitzbirkenau #poland #concentrationcamp #neveragain

Krakow is a cute, old, friendly city...with sooooo many legends. From soldiers turned to pigeons by a witch, to a dragon being slain by a cobbler (last pic), to two brothers fighting over the building of their respective church towers and the subsequent murder of one by the other (first pic) and even the belief that hopping around the statue of a great poet would help students pass an exam (second pic). ⛪️🐲🔥🇵🇱 . . . #krakow #krakowpoland #krakowdragon #locationindependent #digitalnomad #solotravel #solofemaletravel

Warsaw wasn’t all history and parks and beautiful statues and lovely squares and Chopin and the Warsaw Uprising anniversary...I also found a handmade candy store!! 🍭🍭🍭 @manufaktura_cukierkow . . . #warsaw #poland #chopin #warsawoldtown #chopinmonument #lazienkipark #locationindependent #digitalnomad #solofemaletraveler #sofetravel #solotravel #warsawuprising

Scuba diving, snorkeling, shisha, and new friends made #Egypt a pleasure to be back in. From seeing my first group of dolphins to other cool fish, the #RedSea is such a great place to be in the water. #SharmelSheikh is a fun destination! (...plus an inexplicable diving photo where I look like a total amateur 🤦‍♀️🤣) 🐬🐠🐡🐟🥽👙

So happy to have met these wild, weird, interesting and fun people while in #Palermo so far. Sad to see two of them leave but looking forward to next time we see each other. #sicily ✈️ 🇮🇹 @hackerparadise . . . #digitalnomad #locationindependent #hackerparadise #italy #island #italianisland #mediterranean #travelfriends #travelfriendships #travel #nightout #palermonightlife #palermobynight #friendsfromaroundtheworld #thirdculturekids #tck
