Life as a full time traveler
I’ve been traveling full-time for almost eight months. I’m humbled by all the experiences I’ve had. This has been the best year of my life in so many ways.

5 reasons to love magical, weird L.A.
I’ve been to L.A. once, very briefly to score a Hollywood T-Shirt for my friend’s suvenir on the way to LAX airport. It was hot, congested, those two things together rarely a good thing. I didn’t have a favorable first impression of the city of Angels. I’m loving California life. The more I explore this…
