pretty proud of my gift to my dad this year... a year long costco membership! and it comes in a pretty big box that has a costco tote bag. cant wait to give it to him & allow him to discover the magic of costco.

- taking a bus towards a random destination and see where you end up
example: i lived in nyc for the summer & on my free days i would tell myself something like ok i heard queens has good food.. let’s head out there. so i stumbled into sunnyside queens and walked into every shop i could find just to try different foods or learn more about the cultures in the neighborhood. *this can be unsafe so to be fair i knew i was heading to sunny side & that i’d be fine i just didn’t know what i was gonna do when i got there
- when you have the travel itch, try a new cuisine.
example: pretty self explanatory, but for someone who loves to learn about new cultures and explore what they have to offer, sometimes flying there isn’t always an option. depending where you live, trying a new cuisine (bolivian, ethiopian, bangladeshi, etc) can transport you for a little bit & make you feel accomplished.
- test your social skills (or lack thereof)
example: im a pretty social person, so take this w a grain of salt. but now that i’m back home in the bay, i feel there’s a lot of catching up to do in terms of actuvuties. like, what’s the new cafe spots in town? so, i told myself i was going to have oNE new human interaction that day outside of work, family, or a random on the bus. (though randoms on the bus could work) i went to a new coffee shop in the area & sat at the bar, and chatted up some of the baristas. i’m into coffee so i asked about their machines, roasting process, and even where they source their beans. didn’t leave with a best friend, but it was a side quest completed.
- get out of ur bubble and explore public transportation.
example: i use public transit almost daily and always have. i share a car so it’s not always available, but i also have the privilege to drive to work some days and blast my music in the car. but i highly encourage everyone to explore their local transit system. i feel like it’s taught me about my city in a way i would’ve never experienced isolated in a car, and i am also able to zone out, be alone, and blast my music in my ears while being driven to my destination… ideal situation if you ask me!
hope these are helpful????? <3
