About


Welcome to my own little corner of the Internet! Here I'll put my thoughts down on what it means to live mindfully in this modern world. After all, life moves pretty fast...

About me: I live in San Francisco (and love it). I came here a few years ago riding the tech wave, so each day I look around and see a fast-growing, fast-changing city/economy/lifestyle/etc. Previously I lived in New York City and Washington, DC, so there are a fair amount of East Coast references on the blog. The blog has evolved a bit, from its start as a tumblr, the move to blogger, some name changes... you'll see the content, though, is pretty consistent.

Things you may come across here:
  • Music, pop culture, style, wellness and travel. 
  • The things I'm thinking about when not working. 
  • Explorations of the Bay Area and the lovely West Coast in general. 
  • Other fun places I've been traveling to.
  • Links to interesting things I've read recently. 
  • Pretty pictures, because who doesn't like to look at something nice... 
  • Basically everything that I want to make a full life.
