Here I document my adventures in travel, lifestyle, and thinking differently with the hope of broadening people’s perspectives. I hope you enjoy!
This past summer I was lucky enough to be able to intern with two employers at the same time. One of those employers provided me with the opportunity to work remotely, the type of job oftentimes held by digital nomads. Although I loved being able to work from afar, having such a job brought with it a host of unexpected challenges.
This month I decided to delete all my social media apps (Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat) in order to try and focus on living in the moment. So far, here are some of the things I have noticed.
Over the past five or six years I have focused on optimizing my life. However, I have recently noticed that some optimizations do not always have the intended effect, and perhaps make things even harder than they were pre-optimization. While there is certainly something to be said for problems such as these arising simply out of an increased awareness rather than that they actually formed due to some prior change, I think it is worth considering the impacts such optimizations have on our lives.
A few days ago, I was looking for something to do with a friend back home. We only see each other a few times a year, so I try to plan special trips to make the most of our limited time together. Although I usually have no problem thinking of fun activities, this time I struggled to think of what we would do, until I remembered an article I read a few years back that talked about being a tourist in your hometown.
How do you want to live? I‘ve often pondered this question. As a fan of lifestyle design, I spend a lot of time planning for my future goals.
In a world filled with so many choices, it can be hard to always make decisions which reflect the manner in which we want to live our lives. Creating habits is a topic that everyone has thought about, so why do we all still struggle with sticking to that new exercise routine, or whatever our intended goal may be?
After three years of blogging on justleap.net, I decided it was time for a change. Although I enjoyed the old concept, I realize that in order to create the most useful content for my readers, a new brand is necessary. Enter Noah Nomad.
This past school year, I lived with my very own Pablo Picasso. The work, titled "Dreams and Lies of Franco I" ,was one of 75 offered to University of Chicago students through the Art to Live With program.
