2019

It's been a bit. Figured I have some updating to do before the graduation and medical school posts arrive.

My foodie adventures continued. Amazing Korean chicken wings!


Reconnected with family during the holidays and ate well. Cherish the little things!

Visited the Appalachian mountains. Summited a few mountains. Saw many horses.

Enjoyed more food and of course I added more spice to my life (that's non-negotiable)!

Hiked Mt Fuji (rain, sleet, and sunshine all in one day). Slept in a mountain lodge on Mt. Fuji.

Had a struggle meal before summiting Mt. Fuji to watch the sunrise

Reached the summit of Mt Fuji in time for sunrise (it was freezing cold, pitch black, and I almost walked into the crater). Story for another time lol. Hiked backed down the same day.

Enjoyed more hikes in Japan. Something about cobblestone always makes a journey memorable.

It seldom hurts to get out and touch grass. Life's too short and sweet to let stress control your destiny :)




Thanks for reading! If you want to see more of my journey or discuss my work, let's connect. Remember, It's Only Up From Here!

What's a break without fresh air?

 It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

1 year in the box

It has been quite a bit since my last post, however now that it is summer and I have more free time I will be sure to try and update on a normal basis once again. The long second semester has come to end... well, that is a bit of an overstatement because the time sure did fly by. Exams, hangouts, a first all- nighter  and lunch dates. Those four things pretty much sum up the semester, and although it has come to an end, life continues and the next chapter began in a great way. After moving out of the dorm and bidding farewell to the campus for the next few months we passed some time sitting down and enjoying  boba . We then took a tour of the library exhibits (Beethoven and Steinbeck) before heading to the hotel. We enjoyed some great gyros and then called it a night. Enough  for 2 One of the keys to a successful trip is a happy driver and food of course. Luckily both of those were present and by morning we were on the road for our next st...

Where Now?

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast  When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing
