A list of 5 people to surround yourself with
Meeting new people as an adult is confusing. It’s not like it was when you were ten. There’s no luxury of easy introduction for friendship like there was back in grade school. You’re now on your own. Whether you’re making new friends, ending childhood ones or even dating for potential love– this is my opinionated…

Healing as an Adult
Healing is a never-ending process and there’s no way to turn back once you start. So I get why people are scared to start. It’s intentional self-work, knowing you’re about to emotionally and mentally hurt yourself over and over again until all the pieces start coming together and making sense. Processing one issue unravels another,…

So you want to eat in Brooklyn
I’m a foodie and New York City is the best city for being one. If there’s one thing I hope to accomplish at the end of my life, it’s trying out as many cuisines as humanly possible. I want to be like Anthony Bourdain, traveling the world, having deep chats with friends on the street…

The thing with grief
I lost my dog this weekend. Fifteen years with the kid who changed my life. I got him when I was ten years old and it’s an odd feeling because you just think they’ll live forever. His passing happened suddenly, which is why I think this hurts more. The only sign was that he walked…

Being present in your own life
We spend so much time idly scrolling social media, auto-playing the next video and subconsciously digesting so much unnecessary commentary that it’s easy to forget what making a conscious life decision feels like.

Exploring Lima, Peru
Day 2 of my Lima adventure was probably my favorite. The morning started off great! With staying at Kaclla, the guests receive inclusive breakfasts. I thought I’d just get some bread and coffee, but no! We got so much food! In our bags, we each got a bag of cereal, a bag of bread, and…

My first experience with solo travel
I am writing this blog post, almost 2 months after returning from Peru. Not to sound dramatic, but the incident of losing my wallet really took a toll and prevented me from writing how I felt. And, believe me, it wasn’t the fact that I lost the money that hurt me. I just began to…

Adventures in Paracas, Peru
Ever since I was little, i always loved riding boats. My dad would take me out on his boat once in a while and he would roller-coaster it to the max. He also took me fishing a lot, but that’s another story. Anyways, the point is, I love boats, and no matter how bumpy or…

Wilding in Ica, Peru
I have always wanted to dune buggy. My wish was fulfilled in Ica. There was so much sand, everywhere! Before this though, I had a small panic attack because I thought I lost my phone. I was on my way to buy some cheap sunglasses because I thought I really needed them to prevent sand…
