One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
A trip to Copenhagen sounded like the perfect weekend trip. AND what could make a weekend trip to Copenhagen better, dinner at the infamous Noma. What I quickly learned when searching to try to get a reservation, is that it is not that easy to get one, and planning a June trip in February was…
We are finally here, the one year marker we, or at least I, never thought would come. I do realize I missed the true anniversary and it was last week. Yes, I am still working on self motivation, that was also an issue in my last post…shall we move on? The day the world halted…
I find myself sitting here on my ninth week of quarantine in my 200 square foot studio in Zurich, finally prepared to write a blog post. Why did it take nine weeks? How was I able to add a home office with a two monitor set up into my tiny space? These are two of…
Reims, France was home to 4th stage of the Tour de France. EF bought a bike team a few years ago and now for Tour de France you can be picked to join and be a VIP spectator at each stage–very cool work perk! A good friend/coworker was picked to attend so I thought, I’ll…

I had a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong on my way to Cambodia. I had been to the city before and had hit a few of the main tourist attractions so I wanted to do something else and thought a food tour would be fun! Who am I kidding, I jut used that as…
I had the privilege of working out of EF’s Lucerne office last week for two days. Couldn’t not share these photos! You can see the view from the office is incredible and is located just a hour train ride from Zurich. Mount Pilatus is in the distance on Lake Lucerne and the wire table is…
We woke up on day three and wanted to get moving to avoid having to follow/hike at the same pace as anyone. The hike was beautiful and we were enjoying ourselves. I was amazed that each day my body let me put my 40 pound pack back on and from the muscle memory I had…
