Which applications should you use while traveling? I've provided a list of the apps I prefer while abroad and in new cities! 🙂
Exploring Kyoto, Japan
Before and during Jack’s and my journey through Asia, we’d been doing our best to cajole friends to come and join us. For a couple months we dangled the offer of delicious food, affordably priced experiences, and a hangout session with two well-rounded guys. It took some time but eventually two friends, Becca and Stella,... Continue Reading →

Somewhere a stereo is serenading the the faded brick room of casual coffee drinkers with piano and... Continue Reading →
The Man in Brown Velvet
*This was originally written in 2014 for a good friend's travel e-magazine, Latitudes, Longitudes. Unfortunately the site is currently on hiatus so I wanted to repost the piece! Have a nice day. The feeling arrived for the first time once the flight attendants weren't speaking English anymore. It was a sensation that I never experienced until... Continue Reading →
Welcome to my blog!

This site is a personal directory of sporadic randomness that evolved from my former blog which was started back in 2012, originally with Blogspot. Whether... Continue Reading →
