Hey guys! So I’ve decided to resume my monthly recaps! My recaps will cover the highs and lows of living in Uganda and Kenya, as well as recap where I’m traveling and what I’m reading. Wow, what a month! I got to spend a week in Zanzibar diving and beaching (but mostly beaching). Not only … Read more
Over the past few years, I’ve fallen in love with Korean skincare. It’s inexpensive, customizable, and gentle. Most importantly, it’s improved my skin ten-fold. The only problem is I’ve never been able to find a Korean skincare routine online that works for me. Most of the Korean skincare routines I’ve found are intense. They often take several hours and involve 20+ products. So over the years, … Read more
A few weeks ago, a Swedish girl invited me out to a bar with her friends. The bar was in Kampala’s industrial district, on top of a warehouse. When I climbed the stairs to the rooftop, I saw a scene out of East London or Brooklyn. There were countless young people drinking cocktails under the faint … Read more
I like to cook and host dinner parties more than basically anything. And I love to cook food from all over the world – from countries I’ve lived in (France, Argentina), countries I’ve visited (Japan), and countries I’m dying to visit (Iran, Korea). So I wanted to put together a list of my favorite cookbooks that feature international cuisine. This … Read more

This will probably come as no surprise given how much I read, but I love words. I love reading any words that are beautifully strung together, whether it’s in the form of poetry or foreign languages or rap music. Hearing an articulate person speak is like music to me, and reading The New York Times or The … Read more
I’ve only been in Kampala, Uganda, for a week and I’m already head over heels. I like it so much that when people ask me, “How are you liking Kampala so far?” I have to hold back from gushing about all the reasons I’m so enamored. For those who don’t know, I moved to Uganda because I … Read more
A few months back, I was feeling unsure about my direction. So I read my tarot cards. The first card I pulled was a hierophant. It read, “You may be struggling with an issue and are unsure about what is “right” for you to do. Know that the answers are within you.” At the time, I was … Read more
When I lived in Paris I was all about international food, from dim sum to Korean to Lebanese. But on this trip I just wanted old-school French gastronomie – think French onion soup, crêpes and cholesterol-laden salads. As I’m rarely in France these days, I wanted the classics. Here is the best of my Paris food … Read more
Hey guys! So as you may have read, I’m moving to Uganda! (I still can’t write that without exclamation points, by the way.) In 2017 I’m going to travel much more than I have in the past few years. And I couldn’t be more excited. Naturally, I am dying to explore Africa, so want to see … Read more
