ADVENTURES
Places I've been. Things I've seen.
Bangkok & Ayutthaya
Thailand
Visited Bangkok and Ayutthaya exploring thrift malls (very fun), temples, and Thai culture. I loved meeting new people, learning a little bit of Thai, and hanging out with friends.
Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing & Xi'an
China
Four cities, four completely different registers of China. Took the classic tourist route hitting the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, and forbidden palace. However, I took a more untraditional approach, making a larger effort to speak to locals.
Key West
Florida Keys, USA
Escaped the New England winter with a trip to the end of the road. Live music on Duval Street, that specific golden-hour light over the water, and the kind of family time that only happens when everyone's far from home.
Coastal Taiwan
Taiwan
Toured Taiwan's coast eating constantly. Loved the xiang chang, tanghulu, and meeting local students.
Budapest & the Countryside
Hungary
Reconnecting with my family and living the countryside life. Loved long bike rides, working on the farm, and visiting the vineyard. Grateful to have a place that will always feel like home to me.
