Dreamy Banff

Banff has been on my bucket list for many years. When Carrie asked to plan a birthday trip together for Labor Day weekend, I eagerly suggested Banff. Jessie, my sister, Carrie, and Grace went for a 4 day adventure exploring part of Banff, Canmore, and Calgary. We booked an Airbnb in Canmore, which was aboutContinue reading “Dreamy Banff”

Unintentional Splits at Pickleball

I sit here on my chair in my bedroom lopsided on my left butt cheek. Although I have a pink round corduroy cushion to help soften the seat and give me a slight lift, I’ve had to tilt to my left side since Monday. I was in Seattle with my friend, Cheryl. She is anContinue reading “Unintentional Splits at Pickleball”

Back in BC

My close friends, Grace, Jeff, and Eddie suggested back in January that we go on a food trip to Vancouver BC over Memorial Day weekend. I booked an Airbnb early on to secure a place for 3 nights. The trip also was a few days from Jeff’s birthday so we made it a foodie birthdayContinue reading “Back in BC”

Belonging with Emojis & Lee Ming Wei

I recently went down to San Francisco for work. I am the global co-chair for the Asians@ employee resource group (ERG) at Airbnb and one of the organizers for the Creating Belonging with Emojis panel discussion for Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage Month (ANHPIHM) kick-off event. I felt very fortunate that I got approvalContinue reading “Belonging with Emojis & Lee Ming Wei”

Milepost

I just reached 10 years at Airbnb. An opportunity to pause, assess and reflect. Also it’s Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Costco Adventure

Steph and Jason decided that Costco would be the theme of this road trip up to Vancouver BC. I was fortunate enough to be invited to this exciting adventure. Despite being friends for about a decade, this would be our very first road trip together. Steph and I both have motion sickness but Steph isContinue reading “Costco Adventure”

Hints of Spring

I am in the dark gloomy months of the winter but I’m seeing signs of spring. I can see that as a metaphor of where I see myself in life right now. Looking out the window I see the shy sun peeping out from the clouds. The pavement drenched from last night’s torrential rains. IContinue reading “Hints of Spring”

Murakami and Yayoi in SF

Jessie and I planned a San Francisco trip so that we could check out the Takashi Murakami at the Asian Art Museum and Yayoi Kusama exhibit at SF MOMA. Grace also flew up to join for an art and foodie fun-filled weekend adventure. The first two nights we stayed in Pleasant Hill to be nearContinue reading “Murakami and Yayoi in SF”

2024 Intentions

This year I intend to chronicle my travels in more detail. I’ve invested in Travelers Notebooks, fountain pens, and washi tape. It’ll be a fun way to return to analog travel journal writing. My trip to Japan helped jumpstart that desire. The analog can also help me feed into the digital where I can stillContinue reading “2024 Intentions”

I Hate Running

I realized I dragged my feet and did not start training for my 10k until I came back from Japan in November. The 10K is scheduled for Janurary 2024. I bought my tickets to the Disney 10k early this year. Originally me, Jessie, Jessica, Stephanie, and Grace were all planning to run together. On theContinue reading “I Hate Running”
