Singapore by day
January 25, 2018
I landed in Singapore on a steamy hot day in late-October. I (unfortunately) didn’t take full advantage of the legendary airport, but I was excited to see what this city had to offer. It was immediately obvious that Singapore was an interesting mix of cultures – Asian with a distinctly European feel, reflecting a long … More Singapore by day
Sipping the delicious Melbourne, Australia
December 30, 2017
Welcome to Australia! We arrived late at night in Melbourne and our friendly Uber driver shuttled us along the (distinctly North American-style) highways and streets to get Gemma and I to our lovely South Yarra Airbnb home for the week.

Bangkok in the details
December 14, 2017
Bangkok is a feast for the senses. Not only because you can get the most mind-blowing pad thai for only a few dollars (30 BHT, which is approximately $1.25 CAD), but it is a visual cacophony of colours, textures, and shapes. Apparently cats in boxes is an international preference. And, of course, a few food … More Bangkok in the details
Minimalist, zero-waste, & plastic-free
July 23, 2017
My life as of late has been very nomadic, as I have once again moved countries, but this particular move was made me really think about the physical objects I own.

May 9, 2017
This post is SO delayed, but life has been banana-pants and I haven’t stolen the moment needed to post my thoughts on Warsaw. Because February is February, when a friend asked if I wanted to escape London for a weekend, I immediately said yes. Our destination was largely determined by the Ryanair prices for the … More Winter weekend in Warsaw: A quick guide
A month in the life of this nomad

This past month has flown by in a flurry of activity – some of the best things, including a visit to Canada, the parade (and wedding) of two of the best people, and a move back to Stockholm, a city I deeply love. While these are the highlights – the glittery bright spots of the … More A month in the life of this nomad
