Expecting the Unexpected

Hello! It has been a while, and I have missed writing over these past months. I did initially write a version of this a couple of months ago, but I didn’t post it at the time. Honestly, it didn’t feel like the time for a travel and lifestyle blog like this. Clearly, for most peopleContinue reading “Expecting the Unexpected”

January in the Green Mountain State

Last week, I left New York for the first time since coming back to the US to take a ski trip to Vermont with my older sister. It has become somewhat of a tradition for us to do this every year for her late January birthday. It is a nice way for her to getContinue reading “January in the Green Mountain State”

Family, snow & holiday baking

It has been almost a month since I’ve returned to the good old USA. A lot of people have asked me “how is it being back?”, and I feel like I say the same thing every time. I say “it’s great to be back!” or “it feels like I never left!”, both of which areContinue reading “Family, snow & holiday baking”

Pumpkin Muffins and Change

When I was in Thailand, seasons didn’t really seem to exist in the same way (as it was constantly hot and humid), so it is still a shock to me that it is nearly November! Fall is my favorite season, so it was nice to see a few hints here and there (hence the pumpkinContinue reading “Pumpkin Muffins and Change”

On Having Enough

It has been a few weeks since my last post. The reason being is that I hadn’t come across anything that really inspired me to write. One of my friends reminded me though that blogging shouldn’t feel forced, and that I should write when I feel like it. So, even if my posts aren’t theContinue reading “On Having Enough”

On Decisions and Finger Painting

This post isn’t directly about yoga, but rather about something that yoga has helped me with. I guess in that way, just about anything can be “about yoga”. Anyways, what I’m referring to is making decisions. Decisions can sometimes feel very heavy, but I try to remember that it’s a blessing to even have theContinue reading “On Decisions and Finger Painting”

Chiang Mai and My Quest for “Ideal”

My lovely friend Jade and I flew up north to Chiang Mai earlier in August for a long weekend when it was the Queen’s Birthday/Mother’s Day in Thailand. This trip was extra special because we were there to visit one of the trainers from our TEFL course, Oil, who was our Thai teacher when weContinue reading “Chiang Mai and My Quest for “Ideal””

Moving Across the World, Then Yoga

I moved to Thailand from Boston, Massachusetts in April of 2019. All things considered, it has gone as smoothly as I could have hoped moving to the other side of the world could go. There were so many things that could’ve gone wrong- and I did my best to just take the leap and notContinue reading “Moving Across the World, Then Yoga”
