Until We Meet Again
Iām writing this now on our final train ride to Hamburg. There, we have a rental car pickup, which we will use to drive across and explore much more of this beautiful continent. Itās been very melancholy these past few days. Weāve said goodbye to all our friends and colleagues here. Weāve packed all our […]
Easter Week
Honestly, Easter week snuck up on me. As the old saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun. After arriving back from DĆ¼sseldorf a few weeks ago, Johana and I have been busy with our shifts at TSH, making plans for our upcoming road trip through Europe, and getting into new mini adventures! Hamburg-Gardens The […]
Kaarster See
This adventure was a little bit spontaneous. My best friend reached out to me and told me that he had secured a cozy Airbnb for a mini vacation for himself, and that I was invited. I said hell yes, and got a ride down to where he was going to be. For this trip, I […]
Knocking on Springās Door
Spring is almost here, and I couldnāt be happier! This winter in Germany has felt endlessāso many dark daysābut itās had its own kind of magic. Now, Iām sitting here with the sun warming my face, surrounded by my plants, completely at peace. The birds are singing, and the world outside feels alive again. Our […]
Exciting Times
We truly live in an unprecedented period in history. Itās honestly crazy to read the news and think about what is going on in the world. It feels like we are sitting on the edge of a third world war. Life, as we know it, is changingāand fast. The path that many of us thought […]
Amsterdam
This was a small adventure that came out of the blue for us! My best friend proposed that we meet up in Amsterdam and hang out. I was instantly hyped to go; I had heard so much about this city, and the connection Pulp Fiction made to it always made it seem like a legendary […]
Wintertime Deutschland
These past few months somehow topped the summer, which was already legendary. Itās been something of a fairy tale, honestly. Fresh off the plane from Levi, I arrive back in Hamburg. Iām still a mess from the shock that had just occurred days ago. Iām headed back to the hotel and to all my friends […]
Levi
Winter is coming This was going to be a challenge from the beginning. I knew what I was signing up for with this adventure, but I never expected it to go down the way it did. I arrived in Levi, Finland, on the 6th of November 2024. I was committed for 5 months, deep in […]
Summertime Deutschland.
The Beginning By far, the best period of my life began in the summer of 2024. I had just begun a new chapter in my life, and I was eager to explore my father’s homeland and meet my family here in Germany! I arrived in Germany at the end of May, and for the first […]
Auf Wiedersehen, U.S.A.
I’m not even sure where to start with my relationship with the United States. It’s where I was born, itās what I know best, but man, am I glad to be away from it all. I have so much to say about this, but simply put, itās a mess. I feel as if my life […]
New Beginnings
This marks a new beginning for my longtime digital portfolio! I recently discovered that the domain Laniakea.net had become available. My portfolio was originally under the domain āLanikea.net,ā a small typo I overlooked when I purchased the domain back in 2023. This, alongside recent inspiration to rebuild my website in WordPress and start blogging, served […]
