And wherever I am, I’m doing fine
It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. A long while. A year, it’s been a year (I’m sorry!). The year honestly flew by. For a while, it didn’t seem real at all, being in a new country and all. But it is and I’m still here and loving it. I’ve settled into a nice […]
We finally made it and now we sailin’
Upon my arrival in Korea, it was mandatory for me to complete a two-week quarantine before being able to roam free. My designated quarantine location was a dormitory on the campus of Konkuk University in Chungju, a two-hour bus ride from Incheon Airport. As I noted in my previous post, I arrived safely to my […]
I could’ve stayed where I was and had a life you’d be proud of, but I’d rather chase things never thought of
When I sit back and think about it, it really seems crazy that I’d up and leave the life I had to go teach in a foreign country, but that’s what makes it so beautiful. I had comfort, I had security, I had freedom. But I was restless. I needed more. Not necessarily a challenge, […]
There’s a world we can visit if we go outside. We can follow the road. There’s a world we can visit if we go outside. No one knows
We are born. We die. This will happen to us all. What we do in between those two events, however, is for us to decide. We can be whatever we want, do whatever we want, go wherever we want. The world is at our fingertips. Back in the day, if you chose to stay in […]
It’s crazy how the world look different
“There is an unspoken bond you create with the people you travel with.” Kristen Sarah What a busy Fall I have had. My work travel schedule is always jam-packed between September and November, and then this year I decided to sneak a quick personal trip to Nashville in right during the middle of it. It […]
This is America
It feels like just yesterday that I flew out to California to watch Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, debut his new album, Awaken, My Love, in a mesmerizing performance in the desert of Joshua Tree. But that was almost two years ago. We have since learned that Donald’s next album as Childish Gambino would be his last. […]
He wants to move to California
PA–>California. Palm Springs. Joshua Tree. Pasadena. Palm Desert. That was my Labor Day weekend, bookended by two full days of travel. In between, I experienced a street festival, a concert in the desert, caught up with a friend, and visited a zoo (that is one of the best I have ever seen). It’s no secret […]
I’m here for a good, not a long time
As you can see, it has been almost a month since my last, and first, post. Don’t expect me to pump one out every week, or on any kind of schedule. I try to write when I have something to say, or when I have the urge/motivation, which is not always. “I’m here for a […]
