My trip to Central America was by far my favorite solo adventure thus far. I met so many incredible people and witnessed truly remarkable destinations along the way. Temple climbing, cuddling with iguanas, and swimming with sharks were only some of the activities which kept me busy. I cannot wait to eventually return to Belize and Guatemala – but until then, I’ll always keep this footage to remind myself of the unforgettable memories I created. Continue Reading
Before I leave for Southeast Asia, I wanted to give you guys a quick update on what I’ve been up to.

After 5 months of living in South Korea, I finally made it to Seoul. With only 48 hours to spare, I made sure to accomplish as much as possible. Overall, it was a fabulous weekend in the countries’ capital and I can’t wait to return {but maybe once it cools down a bit}. SPOILER ALERT – my Korean has not improved in the slightest as you will see. Continue Reading
Last year I made the spontaneous decision to move to the big apple. Two weeks before I arrived, I purchased a one-way, red-eye flight to JFK. As I predicted, my life changed dramatically after moving to New York City. For my 26th birthday, I gifted myself with a GoPro Hero 5. Here is some of the footage I took last year, complied into a nostalgic montage featuring life in the concrete jungle. Continue Reading
Last week I decided to record the {not so thrilling, somewhat mundane} realities of being an EPIK teacher here in Daegu, South Korea. Life as an expat is always interesting, but it still brings with it plenty of routine and responsibilities. That being said, every day keeps getting better with my tiny humans and I’m so grateful to lead the life I do. Side note – HAPPY 4TH OF JULY to everyone back home in the states! Continue Reading
It’s officially been 4 months since I moved to South Korea. I’ve collected random footage over the last couple of weeks including hiking Palgongsan Mountain to Gatbawi in Daegu and traveling back to Busan with my partner in crime. Continue Reading
I recently visited Korea’s second largest city located along the coast: Busan. I packed a lot into two days, though barely scratched the surface of things to do in Busan. Some of the highlights include Gamcheon Cultural Village, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Haeundae Beach, Jagalchi Fish Market, and Waveon Coffee. I loved it so much, I plan to return this weekend. Hope you enjoy!
I decided to share a day in my life as an EPIK teacher living in Daegu, South Korea. Of course everyone has a different experience when they move to this incredible country, but this is what a typical day looks like for me. I taught three 5th grade classes, caught up on lesson planning, and grabbed dinner with some friends. This entire experience has been rewarding, humbling, and honestly life-changing.
Last weekend I had my very own ‘Tangled’ moment as I watched the floating lantern ceremony take place in Daegu, South Korea. It was unlike anything I’ve experienced before and definitely worth the {seven hour} wait. Follow me around in this vlog to see what else I’ve been up to this week. As always, thanks for watching!
This past Children’s Day weekend {yes children get their own day here in Korea}, Gena and I took a road trip along the southern coast of South Korea. Continue Reading
