I had grown accustomed to seeing the ocean every day while living in Charleston. It was a short two blocks away and I'd walk down to it every morning before work. When I decided I was going to move out to Phoenix, I knew I'd be giving up my ocean views but I didn't anticipate … Continue reading Getting my Ocean Fix in San Diego
My musings on South Korea
South Korea is a perplexing country. The companies and brands it has produced are far more famous than the happenings within the country and it is often overlooked as a place to travel to.

Why watching the Masters helped me reflect on my 8-year old self’s dream
Like many of you, I watched Tiger Woods win the 2019 Masters tournament and was excited to see him win.

An unforgettable Korean experience
My second day in Korea got off to a great start as it was a balmy 25 degrees in the morning which felt like 75 after the single digits we fared walking around the previous day.

From unpaid intern to Co-founder – my entrepreneurial journey

Bali Musings
Below are simply my musings on Bali.

A few days in the Balinese Jungle
After 3 days of relaxing in the beach town of Canggu, Bali we headed to the jungle town of Ubud for the next three days. Ubud is only around 40 miles and 1-1.5 hours from Canggu but the landscape is vastly different. It is in the middle of the rain forest and it has much … Continue reading A few days in the Balinese Jungle
