I’ve sat down at my computer several times over the last few weeks trying to write this post. I felt like I had a lot to say, and I was struggling to organize my thoughts into a concise post. This is my best attempt yet, so please bear with me. I moved back to theContinue reading “Chapter Two: Hello Chicago”

Reflection on Three Years in Sydney
Three years in Sydney… How have I been away for three years? I’ve reached a point where I’m not quite sure if three years is long time or short time to be living abroad. Depends who is asking. In some ways it feels like ages. When I moved here I thought I would stay forContinue reading “Reflection on Three Years in Sydney”
My Blogging Reality, Guilt and Hopes
All I can seem to write about lately are random (somewhat homesick) posts about being an expat, thoughts on being American and reflections on what I miss the most about Ohio. The Tribe season opener was yesterday, and I wanted to be back in Cleveland so badly (and I’m not even that huge of aContinue reading “My Blogging Reality, Guilt and Hopes”
5 Tips for Planning a Sydney Meetup
I’ve been known to organise a few events here and there, but more often I’m attending events. I attend a lot of events actually. Sometimes, when I’m really busy, it’s almost every night of the week. It’s my plan to write an eBook guide on “How to organise a free or low cost community-based eventContinue reading “5 Tips for Planning a Sydney Meetup”
Expat Thoughts: Moving Abroad after College
Ever since moving to Sydney a couple years ago I’ve been receiving emails from students and recent grads asking about finding a job and living abroad. They show up randomly a couple times a month or so, because they found my blog or read a guest post I’ve written on moving. I love those messages,Continue reading “Expat Thoughts: Moving Abroad after College”
Getting Focused on Dividing our Attention
A Sydney friend, Josh Capelin, gave a talk at the last local Pecha Kucha about yak shaving. It inspired me to write a blog post and share a few thoughts on multi-tasking related to professional lives. That was five months ago and I’ve been putting it off. You’ll see the irony in minute here, letContinue reading “Getting Focused on Dividing our Attention”
Blogging for a Cause
I love storytelling through blogs. I wish I told more meaningful stories here actually (need to work on that). Blogging is one way you can give a voice to a person, group or organisation that might not have their own voice online yet. I like shout-outs and links on Twitter, but those short-forms posts don’tContinue reading “Blogging for a Cause”
Steal My Ideas
I had a really lovely catch-up this week with a new friend Garry. He is a photographer and the local community guy over at Blurb. We spent a good couple hours talking about projects we wanted to work on, and ideas for projects that we wanted to do, but didn’t have time for. We alsoContinue reading “Steal My Ideas”
The American Connection
I never intended to have so many American friends in Sydney. That being said, I was never against the idea of meeting Americans when I moved here. It just happens somewhat naturally when you’re an expat I suppose. I always tell people that “one American leads to another…” I had a few American friends thatContinue reading “The American Connection”
Sydney Life: Chapter Two
A lot has changed after two years abroad living in Australia. I’m starting to say stuff like “fortnightly” instead of “bi-weekly” and I don’t struggle to understand other accents (most of the time anyway). I loved Sydney the day from the day I first arrived, but now I can say that I know Sydney. ItContinue reading “Sydney Life: Chapter Two”
