When 100 Strangers Bought Me a Coffee

Proof that both adventure and kindness can be found on the street — As soon as I set foot in New York City, I sensed how different it is from any other metropolis. On the surface, it’s just like all other major cities— skyscrapers crowd the horizon; taxis whiz by; trains rumble below; horns honk; locals rush, tourists dawdle; pedestrians chat, shout, laugh… …

Introducing the “Love at First Listen” Series

The stories of why I instantly connected with certain songs — I grew up with three best friends: my sketchbook, my journal, and music. I’ve felt like an outsider my entire life; consistently misunderstood. Those outlets are where I’ve continually found solace and validation.

Flight Attendant Diaries: When I Flew to Alaska for a Date

A sense of peace from the place and the person — We sat side-by-side at the bar in Burbank—chatting, laughing, and sipping as my layover got progressively shorter. I was happy I’d found another chance to visit my date, but dismayed it was another short stint. “So, what’s May look like for you? Pull up your schedule,” he said in his…
