It’s weird to be feeling relief in unpacking large boxes into my new apartment, yet here I am getting settled in (at least for now.) Although my technical world travels lasted me three months, by happenstance I’ve been primarily surviving out of a suitcase just short of a full year… So it makes sense while one part of me is itching to see the world and living vicariously through my former roomie, another side of me is ready to be domesticated. From traveling to moving to being relocated due to an environmental disaster to moving […]

My Journey Through 2015
2015 was unlike any other. My first year since the beginning of my memory where I haven’t spent my year going to school. A year that brought me many notable sunrises accompanied with the tingling of excited anticipation for what the upcoming day may hold. Don’t get me wrong, 2015 was one Hell of a chaotic roller coaster. But despite facing many demons I am proud to tell you I’ve come out ahead. For better 2015 has formed me into a more grateful person who understands the value of sweating the small stuff if you […]
Yes Woman! Why Saying “Yes!” Will Make You a Better Traveler
Sometimes silly things stick with you. Sometimes you study so hard you still remember the quadratic formula 7 years after needing it(negative ‘b’ plus or minus the square root of ‘b’ squared…) Sometimes you don’t try at all, but you remember every moment of a first date. Sometimes you remember truly silly things like a Jim Carrey movie you once watched that changed your life. Alright, so maybe Yes Man didn’t singlehandedly change my life, but it is one of those random things that lives in the back of my head. If you haven’t seen […]
Original Singapore Sling
One of my biggest life goals is to travel through time. So far it’s not looking very promising as Marty McFly has yet to appear on a hoverboard and it’s already 2015. Often when you travel you, you get lucky. I wasn’t sure what I expected to find in Singapore, I was setback when I realized I had stepped into the early 20th century. My sister and I wearing our casual and VERY 2000’s garb seemed out of place as we explored the refined Raffles Hotel. Singapore is a clean city. Remarkably clean. So walking into […]
Sunday Surfin’ 9.27.15
“How do you keep a wave upon the sand?” In great restless fashion I found myself back in LA this week. My mom had won some tickets to see The Sound of Music which just opened down at The Ahmanson. As an unemployed vagabond, it was the best excuse I could find to get back to my hometown. My little sister, the theater production major, joined us for the evening studying the show with a critical eye. But what’s a night out at the playhouse without a proper pre-theater meal? I can sense what you’re […]
Sunday Surfin’ 9.20.15
All calendars should start with Sunday. That’s how my mind has been trained to recognize calendars. Yet my mind also sees Monday as the start of the new week. So what is Sunday? The beginning or the end? For me Sundays wind up being days of reflection for the previous week, but also stir up drive for the week to come. Somehow though I always go to bed with more motivation on a Sunday night than I wake up with on a Monday morning. Hm… Anyways, if you read my blog chronologically you will realize […]
