Inside Amsterdam Forest there is a beautiful area called Bloesempark (Flower Park). Inside this part there are four hundred さくら (sakura) or cherry blossom trees.
Birthday in Rome - Expat Adventures
Rome had always been one of those places I've longed to see. The history and the Romance of the city is something I've wanted to experience first hand since I first learned about the ancient structures in school. So for my first birthday living abroad, it was an easy choice for a place to visit.
Liverpool! - Expat Adventures
When Dani signed up for the Rock 'n' Roll half marathon in Liverpool, I said "sure, sounds fun! I've never been to England.". I think at that point all I knew about the city was that it was in England and it's where the Beatles came from. Turns out, it's a really awesome place to visit.
Je t'aime Disneyland Paris
Dani and I have been talking about going to Disneyland Paris for what seems like forever. Well, certainly since they first announced the Run Disney event there. When we talked about going, the idea of us living a few hours away wasn't even conceivable.
Keukenhof Gardens - Expat Adventures
After a couple months of living in Amsterdam, Dani and I finally took our first touristy trip out of the city. We visited the Kuekenhof Gardens in the town of Lisse. The gardens are only open for a couple months in the spring each year.
Game Developers Conference 2018
Last week I was back in the states for the annual Game Developers Conference (GDC). As it was my second time there, I felt much more prepared going into the event. Knowing where things are and how things generally work helps a lot in managing your time and quelling anxiety.
Baby Groot in 3D Printed goodness
I picked up the Monoprice Maker Select Plus 3D printer during Amazon Prime Day. Which wound up saving me about 10% off the cost. To say I'm in love with 3D printing is a bit of an understatement. It's opened up so many possibilities for printing toys, props, and even robotics parts. I'm so excited!
GDC & San Francisco Part I
Sometime early yesterday (seems like much longer ago now), I was dropped off at the airport to make the 6+ hour flight trek west. I think the last time I was in San Francisco was when Dani and I came out six or seven years ago. So I was pretty excited to get back out here.
