About me: How do I even start?
Current status: Funemployed!
Next trip: Champagne and Strasbourg
Most recent trip: Guguan, Taiwan
For many years, I worked in finance.
I hit my first frequent flyer status and attained hotel awards member status in the first three months. I learned how to pack a suitcase for trips in under 30 minutes. Figured out the best section of the train to get on so I could run off with the shortest distance to airport security. Was able to leave home 70 minutes before my flight and still make my flight. Got really, really good at traveling. I think at my very best, I could walk into a hotel and be instantly recognizable to the entire reception desk before I had even handed them my ID. But this isn’t going to be one of those places where I wax lyric about how I quit my job out of sheer frustration to travel.
Traveling is exciting! Whether its traveling for work, traveling for fun, or traveling to a certain destination for weddings, other special events. It’s always an eye opening experience.
Anyways… To make a really long thought process short, I like working in “conventional” industries, in what people consider a “real job”. I don’t plan to give that up any time soon. What I have learned, however, is that I am terrible at actually having a life outside of school or work. So this blog is my way of documenting that – my travels, my cooking, my eating, and whatever crazy projects I come up with to try and “have a life”.
Going forward:
A crazy long travel bucket list
Far too many recipes bookmarked
Very many restaurants I would like to try
Making my way through absolutely anything watch-able on Netflix and Amazon Prime
Long delayed list of books I would like to read
