I'm going to try and make this really short and bullet listed so you're all caught up and I can move on to current events. Ready? Ready. Forwarning, the format will be "In (insert city/country/place), I (insert reckless behaviors/activities I participated in).  In Warsaw, I was fined 30 euro by polish metro police for not … Continue reading Okay.

Travel Update – December 5th!

Prague. I am trying, so very hard, to update you on all these cities before I leave them, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Sorry about that. But anyway.. Prague. I was in Berlin, as you probably know. I was biding my time, wandering across the city. The usual. On Thursday night though, Tabea texted … Continue reading Travel Update – December 5th!

Travel Update – December 4th

Jesus, it's been quite a while hasn't it. Last time we talked, I was in Barcelona, curiously introspective, oddly nostalgic, fairly off balance. Today, I'm updating you from a tiny town on the border of the Czech Republic (But that's a long story, and I'm skipping ahead.). I will tell you about Berlin. Do you … Continue reading Travel Update – December 4th

Travel Update! – November 10th

Alright. Guess who is on the ball today. I am currently in Lisbon, updating you on Lisbon. Aren't you proud? You should be. I'm awfully impressed with myself honestly.  I sit in my hostel lobby, shouldered by two other furiously typing travelers. The mood is light, the couch is comfy, the receptionists are smiley, and … Continue reading Travel Update! – November 10th

I just turned in a 17 page portfolio where the main color scheme was a series of yellows and I’m pretty sure my prof hates me now, but oh well🤷🏼‍♀️
I feel pretentious. I’m not though, really. I’m terrified. I’m quaking in my boots every day, worried someone will recognize me or ask me what I’m doing with my life, as if I should have an answer I’m proud of. And maybe people don’t actually see me as pretentious. Or maybe they do. All these carefully crafted images and stories and grandiose adventures that I present really do little to help my case though. This is the highlight reel. Not the shitty shit that makes me fall apart. Remember what this whole platform allows us to do. We build up the stories and adventures and fake laughs and snobbery until the people we meet on the street don’t recognize as human beings but as caricatures, come to life. - What do you think?
And thus begins my profession figure skating career. ⛸💃 They thought I couldn’t do it, but out here proving the haters wrong.💪🏻 Peep me in Beijing, 2022👏🏻 🎉
