I’m a fortyish woman with tropical childhood memories, a TCK. I used to work in the travel industry and I’ve lived in several countries.
I now live in Northern Europe where I find myself freezing during the long winters! And so I dream of sunnier places somewhere else. Somewhere, where the snow has already melted away.
I love to write. This is where you’ll find my stories – past, present, future, and imagined. Sometimes, my two little boys star in them.
I appreciate all of your comments, likes and visits – thank you! To contact me, simply leave a comment – I review them all before publishing.
Hope to see you here again!

All the photos in my blog posts are mine and were taken by me.
Please don’t use my photos without my permission and without crediting this blog. You are of course very welcome to reblog and share my posts, linking them back here to The Snow Melts Somewhere. Thanks!

Maybe it lost its lustre for me but I do know that some find it exotic. It doesn’t compare with anything European however in my opinion. My favs for Canada are both coasts if you ever come. Truly picturesque! And of course our Rockies from Alberta through to British Columbia. Hope you get a chance to cross over and visit.

Thanks for stopping by and Liking Sea Salt. I joined the blogging world in March — so we’ve both been at it about the same amount of time…..although I am much much older than you! 🙂 In my rejuvenatement period (don’t ever say retirement) and finding my voice in poetry and the cyber world. I especially enjoy the Return Policy that seems indigenous to this blogging world — as in someone Likes one of my poems and I get to “meet” them the next morning over coffee 🙂
Have enjoyed meandering your blog == armchair traveler is so so true. As a former dean of an MBA program, and in charge of our Global MBA, I’ve tranveled to many places. I always loved meeting the people and experiencing the culture. Someone along time ago told me that when you travel, don’t ever thing about assigning the term “better” or “worse” — comparison terms that carry definite judgement. Just think it’s “different”. I’ve found that helpful so many times and really set me up to enjoy. Hope you’ll stop by again….and very nice to meet you!

Thanks to you too for stopping by 🙂 I liked your little poem, nostalgic and summery. I’ve really enjoyed blogging, too – before I started, I didn’t really realise there was this WordPress community. It really is a form of social media – and good that it is, because it would be kind of boring to just be blogging to yourself with no readers. I’ve found other bloggers to be really friendly and exploring other people’s blogs is definitely part of the fun! See you soon here in the blog world, I hope! 🙂

My blog started out as being about living in Japan but has morphed into a retrospective travel blog too. I love going through my old photos. It has encouraged me to go through and sort out a lot of files and I have started carrying my camera with me all the time.

I’ve only been blogging a few months, but already I can see that it’s taken a life of its own; I originally tended to write about the different destinations I’ve visited but now I’ve become more focused on the pictures. Blogging has reawakened an interest in photography and like you, I also carry my camera around now… Your blog looks very interesting, I’m going to go explore it in a moment…

Hahah 🙂 Don’t forget the Liebster, so that’s 3 already, Millie! Well, I’m certainly very happy you thought of me and find me easy enough to approach 🙂 And of course it’s a huge compliment, too! I actually already drafted a post to the first one (2 Liebsters) but haven’t published it because it seems so LONG, I’m not sure anyone would be able to struggle through it without falling asleep! So, let’s see what happens! Thanks again, Millie! Enjoy the rest of your day!

I don’t do awards but sometimes do a challenge when it fits in with what I would write about anyways. If you would like to, I am doing a quote challenge and nominated you. No pressure at all as I said I don’t do the “chain mail” things often. I just happen to like quotes.

Hi there, Hannah! Thank you so much for thinking of me!
