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…

Let’s fight
Thailand — November 2022 I went to my first Muay Thai class in Thailand with no expectations. Would I learn? Would I just get my cardio in? Would I like it? Would the boys beat me up? I truly didn’t know… but I’m happy to report that it really changed my thinking on martial arts…

Work it Girls
Jordan — September 2022 While in Jordan, I visited Safi Kitchen for lunch- a wonderful place and organization that produces their own food and supports local women’s education.

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. I walked around the ancient agora where Zeno originally preached Stoic principles two thousand years ago. Stoicism gets a bad rap…

Wifi Watering Hole
Zambia — July 2022 Like animals gathering at the watering hole, I witnessed a similar phenomena of humans gathering around the router. WiFi is the new watering hole for Homo Sapiens returning to Africa in 2022. On the trip of the lifetime to connect with nature I found myself connecting to WiFi as well. The…
