It was a weird year (and it’s only been one since, ahem…), but I wouldn’t know it from scrolling through my photo albums. Thank the universe for safety, good friends, airline perks and hidden corners of the world. ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Everyone who’s ever told me Iceland is magical, is 100% right. Not that I didn’t believe them, I just never pictured it for myself. Other places, I imagined; Iceland drew a blank. So eyes shut, feet first, we got a camper and circled nearly the whole island and found countless waterfalls, hot springs and abundant moss that stretched for miles, nestled amongst volcanic rocks. We rode horses, watched sheep graze, saw puffins, seals and whales, touched glaciers, ate some of the best cinnamon buns of my life. All I ever learned in school was that Greenland is ice and Iceland is green. Iceland is beyond green; it is lush, moody, wild, immense.
nothing to see here except a wide variety of taiwanese food that is impossible to find in nyc, but that wide variety is just different renditions of the same few things (mostly dumplings and noodles) 🍜🥟🍽️

Bali in a coconut shell 🏝️ takeaways:
• floral baths are actually quite fun (never knew)
• the ability to quickly procure three beverages at once is a good standard for vacation destinations
• water parks
• potatohead rules
• if you run into an old white man in the Bali jungle, there’s a pretty decent chance he’s the founder and namesake of a globally beloved jewelry brand
• actually bali has pretty bad coconuts

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the world and what if
That’s it. I didn’t reach any conclusions. But I did figure out how to sneak into the pool at soho house. DM for tips.
sunrise to sunset, some days dry, some days wet. maguro to park dogs, lava holes and dirt holes. a hawaii boy heals, a new york girl learns about a land in the US dominated with asians. we swam with dolphins, i didn’t find seals :( hawaii, we should have never left but i’ll be back for the seals 🦭
