What an evening! Naomi, a recently acquired London-based bestie from Ohio, was excited when I suggested going to the opera together. Naomi and I had met during covid, and foud we have much in common – fancy events, board gaming, even coincidentally some mutual best friends. I had recently acquired a fancy dress in Milan,......

York the Kiwi is nice. Quiet. Straightforward. Seemed on first meeting to be good friend material at least.  We were in a board game bar in SE London, playing Betrayal at the House on the Hill along with 4 others I had just met at this gaming meetup. One of the players was stuck in......

I used to have a thing for guys with long hair. (Among my college friends, I was notorious!) I even developed a crush for Weird Al once his hair suddenly fell below his shoulders. So in 2019, I briefly met Zak at a London pub quiz night hosted by a friend of a friend. Amidst......

Hmmmm….! ?!?! Yep, that about summarizes how I am feeling about Alex. It’s now just 3 days after our first date. We have another hangout set for Sunday, and for once, I am actually excited about it. First a small rewind. While living in Colombia (the second time, 2021), I was good friends with a......

After many months of switching cities in true Digital Nomad form, I am now in London. These trips had taken the form of covid-safe tourism (Buenos Aires Feb-Apr 2022), short term networking trips (joined a San Francisco incubator in May), and logistical nightmares (collecting scattered belongings from across Europe). All along, I promised myself I......

Dan is a clever Indian guy I met on Tinder years ago. We matched during the two weeks I had been in Kerala for a wedding. He had offered some intriguing perspectives in our initial chats, and we had a lot to chat about because we both went through MBA programs and were independent entrepreneurs.......

Kris, another old friend from college, was not originally intended to be a date. I always thought he was cute, but when we first met, he was honestly way too young for me! Still, I always noticed a spark of joy emanating from him, such positivity, energy around exploration. Even through the dark years of......

I’m not ready to leave Italy!! Why not just extend? But I should return to “real life” right? No more Life’s Waiting Room. I really appreciate the start or finish of things. In 2018, when I thought I was moving from London, that last night walking alone across the Millenium Bridge I was in tears.......

After nearly a month of travel around Italy, a month of being IN MY FORTIES (omg!), I was rounding the bend of an unexpectedly whirlwind and adventurous summer. With my physical location drifting northwards towards Germany, I was facing down reality. Future life, for now, lied in Berlin. And, my excuses for taking breaks from......

I must say, this may have been the best blind date I’ve ever had. And the first time I took a blind date out with a group of friends. Let alone the first blind date welcomed into a birthday celebration!  Nelson is 51. Another physics/math major 🙂 turned IT/engineering guy. An entrepreneur who’s had his......
