About

Hello Sunshine Stories is about sharing my personal life lessons and experiences as I travel around the world. Currently on a year-long journey, I hope to find what the world has to offer outside of the bubble I had created for myself in my previous life. I do not know exactly where the journey will lead me but I’m eager to see what I will learn along the way. I intend to share my positive outlook and introspective observations as I discover who I want to be in this world.

Learn how a mishap in Greece taught me to see myself from a new angle and to understand that it’s ok to not be perfect.

“Who are we?” Introducing the Veritas Ethnography Project

Introducing my year-long video project while traveling with Remote Year. Over the past several months, I’ve been conducting interviews with many of my fellow Veritas tramily members who have graciously volunteered to partake in this project of documenting what it means to be a digital nomad in a remote community. This is the first video I’ve put together for that project.
