Pict of Pebble by Zen Yoon My month started with a delectable man in my bed during the blissful time of a new relationship. Beautifully sad, though, since I knew from day one that it wouldn’t last forever. Still, I was able to take it for what it was and appreciate it. There …
May 2021 – My routine life on a beautiful subtropical volcanic vacation island. Read More »
Whenever I started to miss home, my next thought turned to: “but home doesn’t exist right now”. The thoughts also came and went about how if there, my social life would probably consist of the same video hangs I could do from where I was anyway. It did make it easier to be so far …

I wasn’t in Thailand anymore but seeing a dude smoking a cig while riding a motorbike was an entertaining reminder that I was indeed still in Asia. How had I ended up there so much? It certainly wasn’t the part of the world I was most drawn to. But there I was on my fourth …
I may not have studied abroad in school like I had wanted but it sure felt like I was making up for lost time. It felt like I was away at sophomore year in college with all of the trials and tribulations that came with. Showing up with a little experience but man was it still hard. I was growing, at least. Good and bad, I was growing.
San Diego, I miss you for our beach life together. Waking up to throw on a summer dress and maybe a bathing suit, messy beach hair in all it’s glory, and walking out the door in my flip flops. Tons of friends and stuff to do, always an air of chill happiness and living on vacation. It was a simple, social and active outdoor life that I had fallen in love with 20 years before and never stopped. San Francisco, I miss you for being the haven of finally finding my people. Other creatives, weirdos, intellectuals and big thinkers. Where it was good to be unique, different, individual and a dreamer. Felton, I miss you for the peace of the redwoods that could center my inner chaos more than anywhere else in the world. You gave me the magic of fairy dust and dreams of writers. Burning Man, you gave me a different kind of magic in the dust. A pilgrimage to the the healing I’ve needed my whole life. A home of confidence, foundation and the hope of how good a society can be. You gave me spirituality and a haven that had only lived in the dreams of a different world.
I took the bus by myself for the first time and didn’t even get lost! I would plenty of times later but it was a big victory in the moment. One of the reasons I wanted to move to Jeju was because I was inspired by the mermaids of the island, the haenyeo. They were …

Whoo-whoo! I made it to March. Man did it feel like a month of goodbyes right from the start. Before saying farewell to Nor Cal, I ran down the list of “before I leave” and “things that I haven’t done yet” starting with Rupert’s Donner Pass-themed party. Great fun though a bit odd in that …
Want to help support the cause? Donate here! I couldn’t tell you what happened on the 1st. I was probably a sleep-deprived zombie driving other folks around on what I liked to call its own holiday at the National New Years Hangover Day. Who really knows. On the 2nd though, oh man, I slept until …
Want to help support the cause? Donate here! Well that was certainly the roughest journey to get to the other side of the world I’ve ever had. And I’ve been to the Himalayas! It all started on a Thursday, March 19th of 2020 at 9 AM when my mama called and woke me up. My …
