As I write this piece in my local coffee shop in Foshan, China – Guangdong Province, I find that I am reflective. There has been so much that has happened in the time since I traversed over the Atlantic from the United States to China. When people ask how my experience has been here, it’sContinue reading “Life in China”

Life as an American in Ecuador
The first time I traveled to Ecuador was May 2017…. Freshly out of my first post-graduate job, and ready for something new, adventurous, and radical. I don’t think I could have ever imagined two years later I would be sitting with a girlfriend in an apartment in Quito, capital of Ecuador, 9,350 feetContinue reading “Life as an American in Ecuador”

From the street-performers of Yonge-Dundas square to the eclectic style of Casa Loma, the city has a lot to offer and a numberContinue reading “Toronto”

Aside from all the cool tourist stuff and the beauty of Jacques Cartier National Park (the pictures areContinue reading “Québec”
In Living Color
The picture I chose for this post is me passed out (circa 2012) at a friend’s apartment in Knoxville Tennessee #collegedayz. You’ll notice right above my head is a poster of Muhammad Ali and above him…a rebel flag. Yes I know, an oxymoron…to say the least. I intentionally dug through my FacebookContinue reading “In Living Color”
