Of course, I have dedicated a whole post to shoes. When I was trying to decide the minimal amount of shoes to bring (is it even minimal?), I kept going back and forth on my selection. I already know that I'll be walking everywhere so no heels and I would need work appropriate shoes too. …

With my life now packed into 2 suitcases and a carry-on, I've gone through all the paperwork and pcr tests and now I'm here! Currently at the time of writing, people coming into the country who are completely vaccinated and from a country that qualifies are quarantine exempt, you need to go to a local …
At the beginning of the year, I wrote a post about the 5 things that I'm going to keep doing in 2022. I think the middle of the year is a good time to see how I'm tracking and refresh myself on all the things that I had set out to do for myself this …
