2019

It's been a bit. Figured I have some updating to do before the graduation and medical school posts arrive. Photos from my time in Korea will be added in the future

My foodie adventures continued. Amazing Korean chicken wings!

Just casually rafting through a jungle in Asia xD


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)!

Just casually rafting through Southeast Asia xD

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. This post focuses on a trip to Sehnandoah What ...

2025 (August- December)

  Did I fly from Europe to USA to South America in less than 48 hours? Absolutely! Spent 9 hrs at home, which was just enough time to see my family, repack, and sleep before travelling again :)   Wait.. V had hotel with a balcony view, attended a friend's amazing traditional Hindu wedding, successfully navigated a new country, and ate airport Burger King before travelling to NYC? Spot on and I'd do it all over again, in a heartbeat- no regrets. My word is my bond :)   10,000+ steps daily in NYC's bookstores, museums, parks, and streets? Delicious pizza, sandwiches, ice cream, & cheesecake? Great company, memories were made, I'd do it again, and once more, no regrets. Always myself and I continue to thoroughly enjoy life :)   Still enhancing my culinary and gardening skills. Life is not a race, so enjoy the process   Enjoyed a luxury Caribbean resort. Catamaran, dancing, snorkeling, translating- the whole 9 yards. Even used my Boy Scout and Lifeguard skills t...

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
