Join me and my friend Micah on the second leg of our European jaunt to Lisbon, Portugal. In this vlog, we explore the stunning city sights of Lisbon, including the iconic Elevador Santa Justa, the Arco de Rua Augusta, and enjoy drinks in the shade of the architecturally profound Museu Arquologico de Carmo. We also visit charming bookstores like Livraria Bertrand and enjoy a sunny beach day.

The adventure doesn't stop there: I embark on a solo day trip to the enchanting town of Sintra, where I explore the magical Quinta de Regaleira, which is officially my favorite palace I've been to for the grounds alone. There is so much to explore, including lookout towers, the famous Initiation Well, cave systems, and a grotto. I can't wait to share it all with you.

Whether you're planning your own trip to Lisbon or just love to travel from the comfort of your home, this video will take you along on our. Don't forget to subscribe for more travel content and hit the like button if you enjoy the video!

Join me and my long-time travel buddy Micah on a low-key, 4-day visit to Dubrovnik, Croatia. We explore the beautiful limestone old town, walk the centuries-old city walls, and spend time by the marina. We also reminisce about Disney Channel’s 00s heyday.

Discover the perks of traveling without a plan as we stumble upon hidden gems and take in the breathtaking views from the narrow steps of Dubrovnik. From the rich history and culture to the delicious local cuisine, this charming city captured our heart and exceeded the expectations we deliberately came without. Explore the city through our eyes and fall in love like we did.

In this recap of my 3-month stay in Madrid, I highlight the delicious food and stunning European architecture, as well as the realities of long-term travel and the complicated emotions of returning to a place associated with trauma. All said, Madrid is very easy to love, and will be a place I return to again and again.

Whether you're planning a long-term trip or just dreaming of one, this video will give you a glimpse into what it's really like to travel for an extended period of time. Don't forget to subscribe for more travel content~

P.S., sorry for any audio quality wonkiness, the VO was recorded across three devices which went about medium 😓.

A messy and sometimes saccharine hodge-podge of b-roll and narration about the process of getting to London, living in London, and leaving London. Ah, memories.

I was super attached to this dorm and moving out of it was a No Fun Times process, lol, but it had to be done. All things said: I am extremely impressed that I was able to get everything into my requisite number of bags (one checked; one overhead; one under seat) considering I had to sort through a whole room's worth of stuff.

It goes against my religion to leave books behind, but some inevitably got culled from the group because of baggage restraints. In this video, I go through the books I've decided to sacrifice valuable space and weight for in order to bring along to Spain.

I remember this day with such fondness. After our official dissertation submission date, we arranged to get together for a cute day in the park to emotionally recover, haha. It was the first time we had just....nothing else to do. The luxury of time was such a novelty to us.

I wanted my last few weeks in Butler's Wharf to feel good, and I also wanted to capture the real *feeling* of what it was like to live in my room in its idealized state. Therefore: a clean with me video. My fondness for this room cannot be overstated, so this is my humble homage.
