Costa Rica

"City of the Future". I was oddly reminded a lot of my middle school years living in Shanghai while in Dubai. Very globalized and with sprawling skyscrapers, it felt like another world. I was also "lucky" to be here during a rain induced flood.

El Chalten & El Calafate. An incredible an interestingly meditative experience with lots of quiet moments to think and reflect. Many more places in the region to visit in the future.

A bit dark and rainy but a quaintly charming place.

A city that really feels like several cities that have slowly consumed each other. Love the variety that it has but don't love how car dependent it is to get around.

Undeniably one of the cultural capitals of the world and for good reason

Didn't realize how cold it'd be in these parts in October haha

A childhood friend of mine had his wedding in Haryana and it quickly inspired a larger trip to visit more of the region. It was unlike any other place I've been before and it feels important to see how a large portion of our globe lives. Wonderful spot as far as photography goes as well

Both sides of my family come from here and it is a place that has played a multitude of roles in my life over the years, particularly in shaping my cultural identity. I grew up coming almost every other year and even lived here for my formative middle school years. I then revisited at the end of high school with my Canadian orchestra group. This visit marks 9 years since I last returned to Shanghai (Asia in general), now fully an adult, this visit was quite meaningful to me.

Being in tech, it's odd that it took me this long to finally stop by the Bay Area but I'm glad I did. Great weather and vibes

Vienna is such a wonderful place, class, cafes, and classical music.
