Lol, glad you clicked on me first. Now you're a sicko for wanting to know my secrets.
After graduating from the University of Iowa in May 2022, I was inspired by my mom's regrets - she wishes she'd done more exploration when she was young and instead has to catch up on those lost opportunities now. So I elected to place myself in an unknown country, with unknown people, and unknown culture before getting a full-time job; I elected to spend five months living in London, UK for personal and professional growth.
How do I keep accountable and facilitate this growth? By challenging myself to learn something new, find something inspirational, or discover something interesting every day and documenting everything through photos and videos.
I pride this journal on authenticity, so you will read my raw thoughts when I am most vulnerable and see iPhone and DSLR content mixed throughout. Apologies for the improper grammar and missing punctuation. I write all my entries in my notes app and have de-capitalized my "i"'s on my phone for the last ten years (shoutout Casey Neistat).
I hope you enjoy this journey with me and appreciate the lessons i've learned about myself:
- i love to meet new people
- i have an uncanny ability to connect, form relationships, and make friends with anyone
- growth is having a purpose every day you wake up and put ten toes on the ground
- sometimes stability is important
More life, more growth, more everything 🌱
