So I’ve moved countries…again. If you’re new here, I grew up in the sunny state of California, but at 18 I left home for Vancouver, Canada, where I went to university. I spent my third year abroad in Oslo, Norway, and that’s when I really spent time on this blog. I went back to Vancouver … Continue reading “Yes I Can”
Graduation is behind me. Summer's come and gone. I'm on to bigger, better things. Welcome to travel blogging 2.0. Back to consistency when nothing in life is consistent, ironic isn't it? I live in Korea now, except not really. I am living in a foreigner-friendly bubble on a mountain in Korea. My life follows a … Continue reading The One Where I’m Living in Limbo

There's only so many things I can give advice about while I'm still working hard on my own goals. So let's have a chat. I feel good. I struggled a bit last … Continue reading The One Where I Feel Like Chatting
Do as you say. It is a million times easier to say you hope to do something that it is to actually go out and do it. Goals are dreams with a deadline. Make a deadline, make a goal, and from there make a plan of action. You have to learn to be self-motivated and … Continue reading Reminders for the Dreamers
Dear Mother Nature, How do you feel? Do you feel yourself dying? Are you scared of what we'll do? Or do you know something we don't? Do you think things will work out? I want to thank you. Usually on the list of volunteer causes you're not in my top 3, and I tell people … Continue reading Dear Mother Nature
I've often found that stress will happen regardless of the situation. If I'm in school, I'll be stressed about how much work I have to do; if I'm in sports, I'll be stressed about not being good enough; if I spend a week laying in bed watching television, I get stressed about not doing enough. … Continue reading Good Stress vs Bad Stress
You're probably feeling the mid-term strain, the midterms and essays piling up and your face breaking out from stress. Don't worry, you're not alone, we are all incredibly stressed because this is the last stretch of the year before finals and there's a lot going on. We've abandoned our diets and exercise regimes, we're spending … Continue reading Give Yourself Your Best Chance
