Alm you need is Love
Laos — November 2022 What would the world be like if we cared more? About ourselves, about each other, about our environment. A stark contrast I’ve seen between East vs West culture is the sense of community. In western culture, we argue over who’s responsible for paying for our sick and poor or where they…

Santorini Stoicism
Cyclades — August 2022 Before landing in Santorini, I was lucky to spend the day wandering around Athens. The ancient home to democracy, geometry, the marathon, and my favorite school of philosophy – Stoicism.
