Meet Matt, the boyfriend but more than that he's my sense of home. Which is a lot to say for someone who's always jet-setting. Due to my shitty track record of dating, I usually don't say much about a dude because to be honest, I'm always skeptical about how long it will last and if it will be meaningful enough for me to cherish. It's been almost a year since I met Matt and in that time he's broken all of my walls. It's hard to move to a new state. It's harder when you barely know anyone that lives there. It's hard to adjust to a new job that takes you away half the time. And it's really hard when your body fails you when you need it to work. What makes it easier is having the support you need to feel like you're finally at home. I've been fighting a serious kidney infection these last few days. He covered me in blankets when I was shivering, put a cold towel on my head while I lay drenched in my own sweat, made sure I drank more water, ate something and slept well. He always says he wishes he could do more but damn has he outdone himself. Whatever is to come of us, this one will always mean something. This one will be cherished. 🥰

I texted @seanrabbitt less than an hour before we landed saying I had an 4 hour airport sit in Orange County and he immediately came to pick us up! Sean used to follow me on YouTube way back in my Korea heydays and here we are having brunch between my flights. You know you got a true friend when they're willing to pick you up from the airport at the drop of a hat! Until next time @seanrabbitt 🐰

Just one of the many awesome views of Michigan! The seemingly calm waters were so soothing to the soul. If you haven't been to Michigan's Upper Peninsula yet, I highly recommend checking it out. 🌳

My sassy girl, my cousin's daughter is full of questions and comments at the tender age of 6. She still remembers the trips that she's taken when she was 3! It is such a great blessing to be part of a child's life and watch them grow. Nothing is as priceless as the sheer excitement she has when we see each other. I think in her eyes, I'm that cool relative that travels a lot and does cool things. I hope that image of me never shatters in her head. 😎🙏🏼

Making time for mom. I call her often, never see her enough and always feel inadequate as a dutiful daughter. I imagined that by this age that I'd be able to fully support my mom in whatever way she needed, but the ugly truth is that I'm always away and nothing of material or monetary value will ever make up for that. As we both grow older, the best thing I can give her is my time so I'm striving with a little trip every season to be there (wherever there may be for her). Live, laugh and don't let the most important people in your life forget that they matter to you. 💕

A magnificent Michigan morning! I don't know what's taken me so long to get up here! I been missing out on all this Great Lake goodness. More Michigan spam to follow 🛶
