Miami

In Miami, I leaned into the bright, beach‑focused tourist experience.

Walking near Miami Beach, I saw people biking, skating, and just enjoying the warm weather at all times […]

San Diego

In San Diego, I followed a very classic tourist path: enjoying the waterfront views, taking in the skyline, and spending time near the beach.

Charleston

In Charleston, I spent my time doing exactly what most tourists do: wandering through the historic district, admiring colorful buildings, and walking down narrow streets lined with trees and old architecture.

Everyday Life in Seattle

Moving to Seattle has shaped what my everyday life looks like, from the way I plan my week to the little routines that keep me grounded.

Seattle Spots I Want My Friends to See

When friends ask what they should see in Seattle, I picture a mix of classic views and small everyday places. I want them to experience the skyline from the water or a lookout, walk through busy markets and quieter residential streets, and feel how close the city is to nature. Even a simple plan, like […]
