Think Fast
Rita Summers had always loved beautiful, bustling Thailand with its purring, lively streets. It was a place where she felt happy, safe and free. She had decided to take a trip to the Thai island of Koh Samui on a whim after the death of her beloved Siberian Husky, Luna. Luna had been there with Rita through the death of her father, her dropping out of Grad school, losing her full time job that she really enjoyed, etc. So in an attempt to free herself from the pain and grief of losing her beloved pet, Rita decided it couldn’t hurt to dip into a bit of her savings just for some alone time and mental clarity.

New York is lovely in fall and I had an entire afternoon free to wander on my own and do touristy stuff. I saw the Statue of Liberty and climbed up the crown room (I am glad that I was able to do that). **To be young and in love in New York City (in New York City) **. I like climbing tall buildings and observing things from a great height. It feels good to remember all the terrible stuff that you went through because you had a good heart from high places. All the times when you thought you would not be able to make it through but you did, somehow, with the Universe.

We’ve always known that women are bold, strong, and powerful, but now the rest of the world is starting to catch up, too. More than ever, women are achieving higher career roles, starting their own businesses, or working side hustles.

There are things people always warn you about; Watch your pockets and keep your bags close, watch your drinks, and even more common watch going anywhere alone. You always hear horror stories about pickpockets and having things stolen during travel; sadly, I have been a victim of such crimes.
Life, Love And Liberation: A Pre-Quarantine Tale
This is a tale about life, love, and liberation. The most important lesson I learned when I ended my engagement in September 2016 was that life is meant to be lived. If you allow someone or something to hold you back, you will never appreciate your life for the miracle it truly is.
Kelle SallePublished 4 years ago in VivaRiding in an All Women Train Car in Japan
During my time living in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan I’ve had on occasion to use the women only cars on trains, only a few times; usually when I or my wife felt threatened by drunk men at weird hours, or when the crush of people was such that groping was sure to happen. That being said I’ve found that many people are interested in the experience so I’ll share a bit about it. It should be noted that my experiences are for the local trains, and that I haven’t taken a women’s only car cross country in Japan, however the differences according to friends are very minimal.

Beach Bag Essentials for a Stress-Free Girls Trip
Summer is here, and that means it’s time to go to the beach. Everyone loves that wonderful ocean smell, the way the sand feels between your toes, and the warm sun-kissed glow a day at the beach gives your skin. Beach-going is glamorous, fun, and a perennially summer thing to do. I mean, who doesn’t love sipping drinks near the sea?

Being a girl is great at times, but then there are times where being a female is absolute hell. One of those specific times is at the beach. Throughout this ranty post, I will do nothing but complain about being a female while visiting the beach and be a relatable queen.
Lyvia JackPublished 5 years ago in VivaThe Top 10 Most Female-Friendly Countries in the World
Why must women go out and fight for rights and opportunities that are just handed to men? The freedoms that women are given depend on how female-friendly their country is. As times become more progressive, many countries seem to be narrowing the gender gap by reforming policies in order to create a society that is more inclusive of women. It is vital to the continuance of spreading feminism around the world. The global gender gap report measures gender equality using four main principles: economic participation, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. Nordic countries seemed to have figured out that, in order to have a thriving and stable economy, women and men must have equal rights. In contrast, women in countries like Saudi Arabia are discriminated against, and have minimal basic rights, having just gained the right to drive. Even in female-friendly countries where women have made significant progress, there is still much work to be done in order to completely close the gender gap.
