How to Enjoy Museums
I used to be neutral, or maybe slightly negative on museums. There was something pleasant about being in them, but I didn’t really know what I was supposed to do there, and always felt like I was doing it wrong. And it turned out I was doing them wrong. I was introduced to a guy…

The Three Books I Most Recommend

Sometimes I wonder if I’m annoying because I talk so much about good sleep, but even when I talk to readers about it, it seems like almost no one actually prioritizes and gets good sleep. This is amazing to me, as it’s actually a pretty pleasant and easy way to get a huge boost in…

Extended Travel in Relationships
Maintaining a healthy relationship while traveling can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be. Like anything, there are pros and cons, and by mitigating the cons and focusing on the pros, you can even make it a good thing. As someone who travels for the majority of the year, I have a lot of…
