I just got back from São Paulo 🇧🇷 Portuguese is their preferred language but there was one word they used that was not of European origin: Cha which is the universal word for tea in the Eastern world. For a European language like Portuguese, I expected them to say call it tea too. I was…

My 1 year recap living in Silicon Valley
It’s almost my one year anniversary of moving to the bay area, getting out of small town Santa Barbara where everything moves too slow while you’re watching the coastline. That’s one thing I really missed about SB, nothing was ever stressful and you can take long walks on the beach to feel at peace. Life…
The Windy City
So that one time in May 2017, I almost moved to Chicago. I was lured by their delicious deep dish, bursting city center, and Lake Michigan.
2014, what a year
So it’s January 2015, a lot of things happened last year and it was… amazing! I was looking through my photos, and I was just wow, did that really happen to me? So here’s a year in review I went to Death Valley twice once in March and another time in November Went to San…
Bison, Waterfalls, hotspings, and stinky sulfur
Sums up my short 2 day trip to Yellowstone National Park… (and a short day trip to the Grand Tetons) My friend was in Montana for business during this month, and she asked me whether or not if I wanted to join her to stop by Yellow Stone National Park. Life’s too short to think…
California-Arizona-Nevada Adventure: Easter weekend 2012 continued
After a 4 hour hike on the Bright Angel, we had the ambitious idea to drive to Winslow, Arizona to check out the meteor crater the same day! It was a 2 hour drive from the Grand Canyon and we departed for the place at 4pm. We realized the park closed at 5pm halfway through…
Time just seems to fly, but the memories remain.
April is speeding by me. I thought the month has just started, but the next thing I know, we’re all getting ready for May. I spent the last weekend in March in San Luis Obispo at a Salsa dancing event at Cal Poly SLO, Easter weekend on a road trip to the Grand Canyon in…
Time won’t ever steal my soul
2 weeks ago was the end of my spring break, had I have no time to catch a break. It’s been a jammed packed weekend every week! Starting my first day of my last quarter makes me so bittersweet, since I’m happy to almost finish with all the stress of school, but there is so…
When in Rome… Do what the Romans do
My favorite city. Rome is a very Catholic city, with plenty of beautiful catholic churches all over the city, as well as untouched ruins spread throughout. The city has so much history throughout two and a half thousand years, it is incredible. You can probably find a time line of Rome on Wikipedia. There was…
The Floating City of Water
Venice, Italy, a city that is one of it’s kind. As The New York Times would say, “undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man” Personally I don’t have a lot to say about this city, but it’s beauty. It’s history is vague, and it’s hard to make out why the city was built. It…
