I Quit Drinking Because of a Podcast (And You Might Too)

I am not messing with you. I haven’t had a drop since listening to Andrew Huberman’s 2 hour episode about all the negative effects alcohol has on our bodies. I was shocked. And completely disgusted that I’ve been doing this to my body since I was a wee babe (13…

An Ode to the Most Controversial Country (Yes, It Is a Country)

Oh, Taiwan. A place of dichotomies. From outside you see one of the most disputed and tense objects of attention for fighter jets and news headlines. From inside, one of the safest nations you’ve ever been. Beauty of the place and people is far reaching. Lush canopies of verdant jungle…
