The Journey Begins With a Question What does it mean to grow? I’ve asked myself this question so many times—during late-night journaling sessions, on early morning runs, and even while turning the last page of a life-changing book. Personal growth, for me, hasn’t been about achieving more. It’s been about becoming more me. And the […]

Dear Body, Thank you. It’s a quiet Sunday evening, and my legs are still buzzing from the 70 km ride earlier today. Yesterday, they carried me through a 14 km run. I can still feel the imprint of the weekend’s effort—fatigue, yes, but also something deeper. Strength. Stability. Gratitude. This weekend reminded me just how […]

Some weeks go by in a blur. Others leave a quiet, lasting glow in your heart. This past week was one of those rare, beautiful ones that gently remind me why I do what I do—and why I love the people I work with and the life I’ve built here in Vietnam. As I sit […]

Most mornings, before the world wakes up and my phone starts buzzing, I sit in stillness. It’s just me, my breath, and a few quiet minutes to connect. Over time, this small practice has become the most important part of my day. I used to think I needed something dramatic to feel better—green juices, intense […]

Dear Younger Me, You’re probably lying awake in your little room, staring at the ceiling, wondering—what am I supposed to do with my life? You think everyone else seems to know. You scroll through your social media feed and see peers with straight-A grades, polished resumes, confident smiles, and dream schools. And there you are—still […]

The Power of Pen and Paper I love writing. In an age of constant noise, swiping, and scrolling, journaling has become my way of pausing—of listening inwards instead of outwards. It’s a practice of returning to myself. Over the years, I’ve experimented with many types of journal prompts. Some were simple reflection questions, others were […]

There is something lovely about Sundays. A space between what has passed and what is yet to come. As someone who trains seriously for endurance sports, Sundays are also when I push my body hard. But alongside physical training, I see this day as a spiritual reset, a quiet ritual to nourish my spirit, reflect, […]
