To DirtyBird or to Dirtybird?

I have been to many, many festivals in my life, but DirtyBird Campout is something unique- it’s fun for adults! I haven’t been to a festival that has so many games- and DJs host different games to interact with fans! This makes the entire environment inclusive and friendly.

Burning Man 2018: The Desert of Connection

People can say what they want about Burning Man- that it causes immense carbon emissions (which goes against its principles), and has been sold-out and popularized into the corporate world, etc., and these things are true.

Arguments, lots of them, about things irrelevant, blowing through the

Rainy dinner, Chinatown, Bangkok Thailand: the land of smiles and flavours. In any given meal, a Thai tongue seeks to taste salty, savory, sweet, and sour all at the same time. Markets offer fresh fruit and vegetables (what a novelty compared to the GMO-ridden produce of the United States), as well as seafood that has

What is Home?

*Following my first return to MD since March, leaving 2 weeks here before I leave for Bangkok prepared for everything* Surprised by the green trees and marsh, Plane landing on familiar concrete After months of desert and no rain This is where I come from- It all feels the same; I am who has changed

San Francisco Pride

I am so grateful for all of the love that I experienced in San Francisco at Pride! Many people said that there were much less people because of the incident in Orlando, which is hard to believe because of how many people were there! It’s such a beautiful thing to experience people loving and appreciating each

8 Mantras for Hump Day

Another Wednesday – getting through a week of work that may seem endless, stress that may seem pointless, and conflict that is eating up your energy. Finding happiness in the simple is essential for moving forward! I have to put together some thoughts during my recent times of stress from moving across the country that have kept me
