After my trip to Australia, we gave ourselves a break from traveling for the rest of September. Weekends were spent doing normal life activities, and it felt good to relax and enjoy this beautiful country we’ve moved to. In October, our friends came to visit for a weekend, so we played tour guide around Singapore….

Ryan’s First Time in Hong Kong
Right after Bali, I headed to California for my first trip back since we moved to Singapore to visit friends and take care of some calligraphy clients. It was wonderful to catch up with our San Francisco family, not to mention take in all of the cool weather. We attended a wedding of two close…
First Trip to Bali

Although we got in Friday night and headed back Sunday, we…

First week in Singapore

We were lucky enough to be able to fly business class with Ryan’s relocation package, but even the lay flat seats couldn’t stop us from saying throughout the flight, “We still have how many hours to go?!”…
