Since 2012, it’s become an unofficial tradition of mine to visit California about once a year. I’ve had years where I’ve gone to the state more than once, and also once or twice where I wasn’t able to go at all. Still, because of my familial ties to California, to not visit is more of … Continue reading

Review: Netflix’s “Cuba & The Cameraman”
Netflix is quite the powerhouse, isn’t it? With its own films, series, and special documentaries, the entertainment giant’s list of original content is growing.

Free Talk: Travelling As A “Minority”

From my understanding of the term ‘refugee’, I know that it means to seek refuge due to unstable circumstances in one’s homeland (for varying reasons). I understand that my parents were a type of ‘refugee’, as many people of their heritage are. They’re highly … Continue reading
Born Identity: Being Nomadic
It’s a common desire, this need to “travel the world”. Lots of people talk about it as though it’s some easily-achieved goal, as though there’s a checklist they can conquer within the span of a few years. It’s almost trendy to be a traveller, or to plan travels at all. Yet, despite many young people … Continue reading
