Vietnam – lessons in gratitude
Sapa Valley, Vietnam. I visited Fansipan, the highest point in Indochina. A day full of surprises and lessons in gratitude and unexpected views.
Stories from a bumbling, mid-life solo traveler

2 years ago, I was lucky and got to spend 2 weeks with the sweetest kids. My time volunteering in Tanzania both touched my heart and taught me a lot. It also made me re-evaluate the volunteer industry.
Two years ago, I spent 18 days in Arusha, Tanzania. I volunteered at a local school and went on the most amazing safari. Both were incredible experiences that I will never forget. Tanzania is both beautiful and heartbreaking. This post is about my wonderful safari experience.
Angkor Wat Archaeological Park is filled with over 70 major temples and ruins. It is massive and majestic, and filled with both incredible history and a little magic. If you are thinking of visiting Southeast Asia, I highly recommend adding Siem Reap and Angkor Wat to your ‘must visit’ list!
5 days in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Cambodia is incredibly beautiful and thought provoking. And Siem Reap is so much more than just Angkor Wat!
Reflecting on the last 3 Januarys since I have become a nomad. From Guatemala to Peru to Hong Kong, it has been an adventure filled with joy and challenges and awe and overwhelm and I wouldn’t change a single experience.
Lately, life in Hong Kong means exploring local neighborhoods and falling in love with the not so pretty spots.
Living in Hong Kong – my third flat in 3 months, a couple of my favorite unplanned day trips and 3 hikes.
Life in Hong Kong last month; learning to finally go with the flow at work, making a friend, an unplanned island day trip and enjoying my solitude.
Recently, life in Hong Kong has been a lot of normal life. I got really sick, I got overwhelmed and I’m not always loving my job. But I also took a few ferries and a cable car, saw some giant buddhas and met a monk. So normal life with a lovely twist or two.
