we are one
Summary: What current events have taught me, and given me further insights into why I travel. I travel to be educated, to be humbled, to learn, because I know we are one. I don’t want to be stuck in my own bubble of a country. Like many others, I’ve found […]
You have probably heard of Gary Chapman’s “The 5 Love Languages.” What about The 5 ASIAN Love Languages? Disclaimer: This by no means refers to all or even most Asian households. Stereotypes can be exaggerations, but they also often contain some truth. Words of Affirmation are typically lacking in Asian […]
body image beautiful bodies
This is a very vulnerable topic for me, one that I’ve been putting off writing for a while. I’ve struggled with my weight and body image ever since I can remember. I was born an average weight, but was always overweight from then on. I think people fall into only […]

streamlining chores list
Residency has BRUTAL hours, 80-100 hours per week at times, so the better you are at streamlining chores, organizing and maximizing your free time, the more you can enjoy it and attempt to have somewhat of a life outside of work. Apparently I didn’t know how well I was doing […]
survive residency psychological tips brains
A long overdue post, on how I survived residency training. For those unfamiliar with residency, it is the period of 3-7 years (depending on the specialty) after medical school where you practice medicine as a junior doctor, overseen by supervisors. You must graduate residency before you can practice medicine independently […]
I still shudder as I write this… It’s been over a month, but the wound is still raw. I experienced one of the worst traveler’s nightmares–bed bugs. I stayed with a lovely couple in Hungary for just 2 nights, who also rented out their second floor rooms to visitors. They […]
