I cried for an hour straight last night. I haven’t done that since my father died. You’re probably wondering what the girl who just traveled the world for an entire year has to cry about. Don’t worry, I get annoyed with myself sometimes too. But Thomas Wolfe was right, you can’t go home again. And […]

Happiness isn’t what I thought it would look like. I’ve been dreading thirty-two for so long that I’m embarrassed to admit it was because of a Before Sunset quote I heard my sophomore year of college. “I was having this awful nightmare that I was thirty-two.

And while I’ve greatly enjoyed Miraflores with its incredible restaurants […]
It wasn’t Eat, Pray, Love that put Bali at the top on my bucket list. The report I wrote on Indonesia in the 5th grade kept me daydreaming for two decades. …it didn’t disappoint!
I must confess that I have been dining alone for years…but it wasn’t until recently that I’ve become comfortable with it. In fact…dare I say it? I prefer to dine alone. Well, sometimes. When I first moved to LA, I couldn’t do anything solo, which was a problem since I didn’t know a single soul there. […]
