I'm a newly minted, Michigan-based, engineer who caught the travel bug while working abroad in India. Since then, I've used study abroad and vacation days to the fullest to travel the world while working full time.

Vegan Chunky Roasted Tomato Soup

Every Saturday I like to make my way down to Eastern Market. This is the biggest farmer’s market in Detroit, and has been an institution in the city since 1891. The history of the place incredibly, and you are able to get the freshest produce, and connect with local businesses from all over Detroit. Last […]

Theatre Bizarre 2018

It’s been about two months since Theatre Bizarre, and I’m still in awe about what I saw that night. I remember the dapper mime in the DJ booth, with phonographs surrounding him, playing electro-swing to all those dressed in costume below. The memories of burlesque are burned in my mind. The words “Hail Zombo” ring […]

6 Ways To Enjoy Bad Weather

You research for months, compiling every place you want to visit. You save up over the year, opting out of brunch with your friends to save that money away to cross off another bucket list item. You save up your vacation days, and finally get enough to take that week long trip to your dream […]
