Live It

Travel, dreams, and the memories worth engineering for.

A living record of where I want to go, what is already in motion, what I have done, and the experiences I want to remember.

Travel is the experience side of the project. The Work helps me figure out what I can afford and how to get the most value from travel. Some experiences are more time-sensitive than others, so I’m prioritizing the ones that depend most on physical capacity while they’re still realistic for me. See the Work.

Up Next

Already in motion.

These are the travel goals and trips that have moved beyond “someday.”

Upcoming trip: Costa Rica — A trip built around the experiences I want to prioritize right now: hiking, snorkeling, and wildlife.
Upcoming travel goal: Machu Picchu — Peru
Upcoming travel goal: Austin — Texas · United States
