Glad You’re Here!
I like interesting experiences; big trips, small discoveries, and the everyday moments that quietly make life better. I’m not chasing everything, and I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I pay attention, notice what works, and share the thinking behind it so you can decide what’s worth trying for yourself.
Sometimes that looks like a four-day itinerary in a new city. Sometimes it’s a neighborhood restaurant, a park, a meal at home, or something I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did. If it’s here, it passed my internal test, not because it was perfect, but because it felt worth it.
This is a place for thoughtful guidance, honest tradeoffs, and experiences that feel exciting without being exhausting.
