“Let me first start by saying how much I love your blogs Jasmin. This one is so exotic and fabulous!! And I love that you had your ears pierced by a Farsi-speaking English nurse on safari in Africa. I grew up in Israel my family is Romanian, but was exposed to so many fascinating other cultures, Like: Bulgarian, Moroccan, Turkish ,Farsi, Yemen, Arab Polish and so on and so on. Tried so many different foods and music, movies. I love learning about other cultures. Can you imagine someone’s world that is not willing to be exposed to so many amazing new things, and only their culture matters? I can’t! We all are so different, but like you said, so much alike. Love your stories about traveling and love, love, love this blog!”

“I love your blog. I call myself a global nomad.”

“Lovely article. I now wish I’d sent my boys to boarding schools also. I really didn’t appreciate the experience at the time, but I do now. One hears so many horror stories from kids who had bad experiences with authority figures during childhood that one can become unduly wary. Keep up the good work.”

“I think travel does broaden the horizens (sic.) but I would never send my children to boarding school – I think children should be with their families and travel with them until they are older and can travel alone. I liked my time at CTS but as the years pass it is easy to remember the nice things and forget the homesickness and being away from family and friends – there were many unhappy girls there just desparate (sic.) to go home – just saying!”

“Nice blog post – enjoyed reading it. Funny the stories we take for granted as parts of our childhood are actually quite exotic and interesting! Hey, I love soaptopia too!’
