Noun: the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not looked for. More than the places I have been to on this trip, which have been beautiful indeed, it has been the people I have met there that have left me in a perpetual state of “how?!” How is it possible that I shared breakfast…Continue Reading Serendipity
Universality
Living and working overseas with a group of diverse individuals, in interests, heritage, race, allergies, preferences in pets and experiences with trying new fruit, has simmered down to one phrase for me: Your individual experience is not universal. While our individual experiences, however, may not be universal, the emotions we feel are. They simply vary…Continue Reading Universality
End of Journey: my internship in Bangkok
I would like to dedicate my final blog on this journey to my internship at RingZero Game Studio. There have been many highs and lows.

What’s new?
Well, we’re well into this 8-week adventure, and safe to say, it’s been nothing short of one.

There is truly so much to talk about when it comes to this…Continue Reading What’s new?
One Whole Month?!
Well, it’s been one whole month in this beautiful, incredible place called Thailand.

Deal or No Deal: Cash is King and QR Codes are too
When in Bangkok, do as the Bangkokians do. Except…when you can’t. One of the most painful, or dare I say, excruciating problems while in Thailand, is the reliance on cash as a form of payment. New Zealand is still very much behind when it comes to curating digital payment processes, and this is constantly clear…Continue Reading Deal or No Deal: Cash is King and QR Codes are too
