It's Only Up From Here

  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...

        Suprised my dad with VIP courtside tickets to NCAA Final Four matches and the NCAA All-Star game. Suprised my family with tickets to the 2024 Olympic opening ceremony along the Seine. That means we saw Aya Nakamura and Celine Dione perform life. Oh, and it rained xD. Forever grateful! The view from the Eiffel Tower is surreal even when there's inclement weather. You betcha we reserved a table and enjoyed our 5 course meal in the tower's restauraunt too! Paris is truly beautiful!   It rained while I was enjoying Versaille too, but has weather ever stopped me from exploring this world? Definitely not a materialistic person (things come and go and cannot provide sustainable happiness), but if not here, where? I absolutely partook in some luxury shopping. Quality > quantity.  Ate excellent cuisine at underrated local spots. Few things beat fresh seafood and hot butter. Watched a world class, sold-out, competitive tennis match between Djokovic an...

Fun Spring Break in Vegas with the guys. Delicious cuisine, pretty drinks, no money was lost. You know I had to visit a museum. The more you know... the more you realize is left to learn xD Returned to the Carribbean to enjoy another Mexican cruise and a plethora of cocktails Made use of season tickets and enjoyed ice hockey with friends. Never forget your passions and roots Completed a few sidequests in Texas and admired city skylines. Interviewed by telemundo. Go on a roadtrip, hike to a cave in Arizona, and visit a historical bridge? Absolutely! Tomorrow is never guaranteed so count on me to explore as much of this beautiful world as I can If only you knew the effort required to get this shot of the Grand Canyon. Of course i'm posting it xD Another perspective. Hiking the Grand Canyon truly has its perks; it's truly grandiose  Roadtrip to Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. That black sand hits different at sunset! The sake was good, but omg the mochi hit the spot! Coun...
