  • Episode 126: Stop 14: Dublin
    We have finally reached the last stop: Dublin!

  • Episode 125: Stop 13: Manchester 2.0
    Moving on from my month in Madrid, I head back to Manchester for a week and a half to meet up with Montse, Tito, and Gilly, and to explore some incredible football stadiums. Today’s reflection comes from these visits to Manchester City and Manchester United, two of the biggest clubs in world football. Their histories are totally different and their current approaches are polar opposites as well. These approaches are stark contrasts and they serve as great examples for ways to approach life in general. Tune in to hear my thoughts on these approaches and why I adore what Manchester City are doing (as a Chelsea fan). Thanks so much for tuning in once again. Next stop, and final stop, Dublin! Much love ❤️

  • Episode 124: Stop 12: Sevilla
    During my time in Madrid, I decided to spend one of the weekends in Sevilla, the capital city of the region of Andalucía in the south of the country. When I was there, it was over 100 degrees (37 C) both days. I could’ve easily tried to hide from the heat and stay cool and comfortable. But I didn’t. I walked over 10 miles both days in the sun. I sweated buckets. However, I embraced the heat and made the most of it. Because of this heat, I was alone in the streets. And this reflection led me to such a strong realization about how few are willing to go out, take the heat, and embrace it, even though it has the potential to be so worthwhile for us. I hope you all enjoy this message and this takeaway. Thanks again for tuning in and following this series. It truly means the world to me! Much love for all of you. ❤️ Next stop, Manchester (part 2)!

  • Episode 123: Stop 11: Madrid
    Today, I discuss the month I spent in Madrid. I do not talk about Spain. Instead, I focus on all of my conversations with my friends from Hong Kong that I met there: my roommate, Brian, and his girlfriend, Cristina. The conversations that we had were so eye-opening for me and I learned so much. I touch on all of the things I learned from them here. From these conversations, I had some critical realizations. Even though we may be from the opposite sides of the world with completely different cultures and backgrounds, we still had so much common ground. Working through this common ground can allow us to move so much further forward as a whole. I am so grateful for these interactions, and I hope that I was able to articulate these key themes well enough for you to find value in them. Much love ❤️ next stop, Sevilla!

  • Episode 122: Stop 10: Paris
    Taking an overnight bus from Groningen, I arrived to Paris to be greeted by my great friend Maxime. I had such a fantastic time with him and his family and I am so grateful for how gracious and accepting they were to welcome me into their home. I really pushed myself to speak in French with them as much as possible and to get involved in conversations with them. This was a huge challenge for me, given my lack of French knowledge. However, I didn’t quit and I tried my best to learn and grow. It was a very rewarding experience which included great struggle, some failures, and looking like a bit of an idiot sometimes. However, all of the is a part of the process and is so worthwhile in the long run. Thanks for tuning in! Much love for all of you ❤️ a bientôt! Next stop, Madrid!
