If you get my posts via social media, that's great! But those websites change their algorithms all the time, and that can leave people not seeing my posts. Signing up for emails is the surest way to see when I write something new!

(Don't worry, I never send more than one email a week. Often less.)

Same hand on the hip, elbow out. Perhaps fewer f*cks given a couple decades ago vs. last week, but apparently this is my mountain pose. The Instagram experts tell me I’m supposed to share things that are “useful” to my “audience.” Well, this is not that. Except maybe it’s a reminder to remember how little you cared what people thought of you when you were 4. I mean, look at that sassy expression. Just doing what I do, feeling what I feel, and not really caring about smiling for the camera. Can we still get away with that today? 🤔

Currently daydreaming about walking through these

Currently daydreaming about walking through these gorgeous green lungs on Maui a couple months back. Distracting me from: - Finishing up more Hawaii blog posts, - Processing a week full of inspiring sessions with @deanmouliaa (who walked around the globe… yes, walked), @tomorrowsair_ (making travel more climate friendly!!), and @the.nomadic.network + @lessonslearnedabroad (who taught me that it’s okay to be distracted, I should just do it *less*…) - Getting back to all your emails (coming soon…. I promise)

Part 15: Aaaand I’m back! I disappeared from these videos for a bit, while @theaviaoexperience was building cabinets and while I was feeling totally overwhelmed and really over this project. Typical 2020 vibes, amiright? But I got my second wind! When we bought this van and started tearing it apart last fall, we discovered that every piece of ugly, maroon wall covering hid another mass of unlabeled wires. 🤦‍♀️ Everyone who looked inside the van (mechanics included) remarked that it was, like… A LOT of wires. This video really only shows a small part of the tedious process of figuring out which ones went to what, and which ones we could cut. ✂ (This was previously a wheelchair van with a lift, remote controlled doors, a 90s TV and VCR, and lots of other accommodations we removed, which explained a lot.)

Part 14: Building the rest of the kitchen, which could also be our future office and by virtue of it being about .5 square meters, a good reminder not to work toooo hard. Have a good week everyone! ✌️

Happy New Year! 🌙 The last time I really celeb

Happy New Year! 🌙 The last time I really celebrated Chinese New Year was in 2015, when I was living in northern China. I spent the holiday with my dear friend @alice940314 's family, in a tiny hilltop town in Sichuan Province, and it was one of the most unique experiences of all my travels. We spent a lot of time hanging out with her family on this patio, just chatting, looking out at the farm fields and going for slow walks between them, playing cards, and eating delicious foods (homemade by her mother and meant to bring luck in the new year). 🍚 We helped grandma plant her potatoes one afternoon, and walked slowly around town, where people gave me lots of funny looks (since my random appearance was the first documented incidence of a foreigner in town). We stopped in shops selling mountains of fireworks, and I snapped photos of the red paper left after they were set off. It was probably the most blissfully low-key holiday I've ever been a part of, and just fascinatingly different from anything I'd done and any place I'd been. I can’t wait to go back again some year! Do you celebrate Lunar New Year? Or have you ever, anywhere in the world?
