Memories with People

This post was written in en

I've watched this video by Luke Korns numerous times. Everytime, I watch it, it brings me joy thinking about my experiences traveling. Traveling is life changing and it's been life changing for me. It's taught me things, I wouldn't learn staying in one place. Learning about yourself is key for growth. Often, while learning we also learn from people. These people you learn from are strangers. I remember hanging out with strangers in Rome for an entire day. I've roamed around the city of Seoul, Korea with people I met on the bus. You get the idea. Meeting strangers is fun.

I've learned so much from the people I've interacted on my travels. They've shown me their perspective on various topics and provided some life advice as well. All of these people have been strangers. I made a connection with them even if was sitting with them, eating lunch or spending the day with them. I saw their perspective of what it was like to grow up in their city. I've experience them providing a message to their city. It waa beautiful to witness them speaking in their native language.


Showing Friends Around Where I Live

This post was written in en

I've lived in California for over 3 years (who's counting? Oh wait, me!) I've got to the point I know where most of the popular places to visit in San Francisco, Sacramento or places in between. I would consider myself feeling somewhat knowledgeable of the area. My common expression here is, "I'm new here!" I live in Sacramento but I go to San Francisco all the time that I know the city pretty well enough to wonder off to different places. I like to wonder around even if my feet start hurting so I simply push through.

I'm showing my colleagues' brother, Rami since he's visiting from far away. I feel comfortable walking around in San Francisco. I'm very fortunate to have friends who live in the city who I've learned so much from. I feel that I can be a good tour guide. We're both dudes who are young and like to have fun. That makes it easy to keep our minds open and try new experiences. I love doing all the touristy things again especially when friends or family come to visit. I get to help people experience the city the way I did or at least provide that feeling of novelty.

Los Angeles Sunset

A beautiful sunset in Los Angeles.

Recent Trip

I recently went on a Trip to Los Angeles. I recorded this sunset on my Canon DM-GL2A using mini DV tapes. It was amazing to get a shot like this. I am really taking advantage of the camera I aquired. I have so much footage to upload. It takes time!

Enjoy!
