I spent six months traveling around the world with my partner Jen. It was one of the most fulfilling and exciting things I've ever done.

This document lists my route, December 2016 to May 2017.

Current status

I'm back in Portland, Oregon! I am so thankful for the opportunity to have spent six months traveling around the world while working remotely. It was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I am back in Portland to stay and excited to call it home. I'm looking forward to re-establishing my yoga practice and getting in skydives toward by B license.

During my travels, I was able to visit thirteen countries: New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Morocco, Spain and Canada. All but the last two were new experiences for me. Working while traveling permitted me to stay longer to get a feel for the local culture, and also gave me a feel for local life by requiring me to find wifi and cafes to work.

30 in 30

I turn 30 in October. Here are some things I've always wanted to do but haven't done, or have fallen out of the habit of doing. I plan to do these things before 🍰 🎉

Personal

• Begin a daily meditation practice
• Read 30 books
• Read a book in another language. In college, I studied up to various levels of reading competency in Spanish, German, Ancient Greek and French. I've let that knowledge go.
• Establish a daily and weekly routine, waking up at a certain time, with time for chores and a somewhat-set “bedtime"
• Volunteer
• Go on a hike

// 4. Explore the resulting array and enjoy!
