Ahoj from Prague!It has been about a week since I started my trip, and in true fashion, I am behind on blogging. I have been taking notes on my phone, so if these post feel a little robotic you can chalk it up to me racking my brain of details when I don't have wifi …
Quick update of my next adventure—Berlin!
After coming from San Diego where the delicious food possibilities were endless, I was a bit nervous-—and naive—that Portland was going to disappoint. Fast forward to my first month here and I am completely shocked not only by the number of restaurants and bars to try here, but also their quality. I would like to …
I just read through my previous blogs to see what I was doing before I fell off the face of WordPress. It turns out that the last time I wrote was in the beginning of summer and now...summer is over in four days. WAT. Now let me rack my brain and phone for pictures to …
A few weeks ago, I made my second trip ever to the Midwest for Easter weekend. Although it's fun making new traditions in San Diego, I think that during that being with family, close friends, and the like makes the holiday feel more real.

"Do no harm, but take no shit." Back in graduate school, one of my mentors introduced me to this quote. Maybe it's the Chreaster (Christmas/Easter) Catholic in me, but I'm always surprised when I hear people in power/charge swear, so I was initially taken aback.

I'd like to think that I'm a happy, friendly, and mostly positive individual. Of course, I have my off days. Doesn't everyone? In my day-to-day life, I'm usually pretty upbeat but focused on my tasks and goals. Whether it's for work or pleasure I read often, which naturally requires concentration. If I'm studying a sign, …
While I'm fortunate enough to be living with one of my roommate's from college (Kelsey), one of my other former roommate/teammate/and best friend, Sòlene, lives all the way in France, so I don't see her as often. In fact, the last time I saw her was back in May of 2017 I blogged about it, …
Even though the year is almost over, these last few months have felt busier and busier. Looking back on November, there's so much to write about, but little time to share it all. I think I'm going to start going through my monthly highlights to hopefully cover events, good books, movies, pics, etc. that I …
