Nature Recharge
I’m back in San Francisco for the weekend, soaking up as much nature as possible, and today was my first time hiking Mount Tam. Hard to believe, considering it’s basically the Bay Area’s backyard playground. Mount Tamalpais (or just “Mount Tam” to locals) is the highest peak in Marin County at 2,571 feet. It’s known…

I just renewed my site, which means I’m committed to keeping this little corner of the internet going. Over 100 posts and nearly a full year in, I’m grateful for everyone who has followed along—whether you’ve read just one post or many. Here’s to more fun moments, cultural observations, and whatever else sparks curiosity along…

Back to work
But Still Thinking of that Beach! The city is cold, the office is the opposite of a beachfront escape, and my inbox is full. Still, my mind keeps wandering back to that soft sand and turquoise water—long walks, lazy lunches, no schedule to follow. A nice contrast to today’s reality. So for now, it’s back…

Josephine in Tulum
I needed a break—a little holiday somewhere warm, vibrant, and far removed from the relentless pace of New York. Tulum, with its white sandy beaches, lush jungle, and laid-back atmosphere, turned out to be exactly that. The shift was immediate as soon as I landed. The air was thick with humidity and warmth, the kind…

Languages
Learning a new language is a mix of curiosity, frustration, and small victories. But there’s also the realization that fluency isn’t just vocabulary and grammar, but identity, nuance, and self-expression. English on Broadway captures this beautifully in its story of Iranian students preparing for the TOEFL exam. It’s about ambition, belonging, and the quiet loss…

American Museum of Natural History
The American Museum of Natural History, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, is a cornerstone of New York City’s cultural scene. Established in 1869, it’s a massive institution, housing everything from meteorites to intricate dioramas of wildlife. Its mission has always been to educate and inspire curiosity about the natural world. Wandering through…

Transitioning
Last night, Grand Central Station turned into a scene straight out of the show Severance. A crowd gathered around actors dressed in generic work attire, performing synchronized movements—a nod to the show’s themes of corporate control and workplace detachment. The series follows employees who undergo a procedure to separate their work and personal memories, creating…

Starting the year strong
I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. Growth doesn’t need a specific date — life is always evolving. But this year, I want to focus on strength. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Strength to set boundaries, let go of what no longer serves me, and make space for joy. I want to…

Making It Count
Time moves quietly, slipping past as we plan and postpone. But life isn’t meant to be put on hold. It’s happening now — in the laughter, the detours, and the everyday moments we often overlook. I’ve learned that living fully isn’t about perfection or grand gestures. It’s about being present, embracing change, saying yes more…

Holiday Party Season
Holiday parties have long been a way to mark the season, bringing people together for food, conversation, and a bit of cheer. This week, I was lucky to attend one—well-organized and fun, held in a cool, modern location. The food was great, the music lively, and the space perfect for celebrating. It goes to show…
