Weekend Reads #59

Hey guys, I hope you're having a good weekend! I also want to ask you something. Today is basically second-to-last day of my fundraising for my upcoming travel to the USA, to attend the Merit360 program. I'm so far away from my fundraising goal that I honestly have no idea if I'll actually travel or not. And I want need to so much! It's a great program and I really expect to do something great as a journalist/blogger there, covering the program, especially the Gender Equality team! So, if you ever laughed at my Weekend Reads links, if you found them interesting, thought provoking, if you ever looked at my travel photos and stories and felt inspired to book your next trip, please consider donating. I assure you no amount is too small. Here's my fundraising page, and here's the blog post explaining the whole thing. Thank you! 

If one can fall in love with a video, I just did.

Why we use QWERTY keyboard. (When I was first introduced to a typewriter around age 5, I was completely baffled why it wasn't ABC...)

The Norwegians' secret to surviving harsh winter. (Take notes! The summer ain't forever, and winter is coming. Wink.)

Non-threatening leadership strategies for women. Straight to the point.

Not 10, not 20, but 100 travel tips from someone who's traveled the world for five years.

How to make frose without a blender. I want to try this!!

I made an appearance on the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Brazil Facebook page.

I laughed out loud at this: a stray giraffe in Odessa. Btw, I'm traveling to Odessa tomorrow! Any tips?

Have a great weekend! And don't forget to check my fundraising page, and if it resonates with you, well.... you know what to do. Thanks!
