About

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been pulled between two ways of living: one of adventure, wandering, and creativity—and another rooted in place and home. I dreamed of buying and remodeling my own home, having a dog by my side, while also traveling for long stretches and capturing the world through photography.

In reality, I’m still trying to find a balance between those dreams. I’m a licensed architect practicing in San Francisco, where I live with my rescue dog, Pepper, who happily joins me on long walks and road trips. I also bought and remodeled my own condo, turning it into both a home and an ongoing design project.

I started this website as a way to bring my passions together—to write about travel, share the practice of architecture, and explore the intersections of place, creativity, and adventure.

I took her on a 7 mile hike starting at Stinson Beach on the Matt Davis trail to Steep Ravine trail to Dipsea Trail.  It has ocean views, Redwoods, and even a 10 foot ladder.  Not pictured is the late lunch at Pelican Inn and the sunset at Muir Beach after the hike.

Spent a few days walking all over Budapest - from Spent a few days walking all over Budapest - from the castle district on the Budapest side to the ruin bars and  Parliament building on the Pest side. I soaked in two thermal baths, Széchenyi and Gellért, and even took a sunset cruise along the Danube River.

We spent the day biking along the Danube River, visiting small wineries, hiking up to the Durnstein Castle, and learning how to pronounce Gewurztraminer. This wasn’t my first time on a rainy day biking tour in Europe, and it only made it more exciting. It was one of my favorite days in Austria and it reminds me that while I love cities, some of my favorite travel memories come from small towns and countrysides like this.
