Insight Timer: The Best Free Meditation App
So I’ve read a few books about meditation and thought that diving into it fully could be one of my goals for 2025. However, like running and even financial independence, my Partner roped me in 🙂 . Instead of waiting for the fairly arbitrary start of the next year, I dove in and have been meditating almost every day for a few months now.
Previously in addition to reading those books, I’ve only dabbled in a weekly guided meditation that my 5th job (which I talk about in the post below) offered during the workday.

Trainer Armour: How I Prevent Running Shoe Toe Holes
I’m currently on a break from running because I doubled my mileage and as a result, one of my knees wasn’t happy with me. So I’m resting, icing and doing all kinds of stretches and exercises that y’all recommended to get back in tip top shape.
However, I miss running 🙂 . So today I thought it might be fun to talk about one of the things that have made my running a lot more enjoyable this last year. Continue reading “Trainer Armour: How I Prevent Running Shoe Toe Holes”
Review: Greyhound – Montréal, Canada to Boston, MA
As you may know, I had a less than stellar experience riding a ‘Greyhound’ bus to Canada last month that turned out to be an uncomfortable FlixBus and was also 1.5 hours late. It was a last minute trip that we booked a month beforehand because our Amtrak tickets that I had reserved about a year before, no longer existed. If you want all those details I wrote about them here: Continue reading “Review: Greyhound – Montréal, Canada to Boston, MA”

Review: 33 Hours In Singapore Air Business Class – $7,734 of Flights for $75 [Part 1]
A series of unfortunate events happened to my Mom and my Singapore Air flights to and from Australia/New Zealand in the fall of 2023.
As I mentioned in previous posts, we had planned to enjoy 24+ hours in the wild Singapore Air A380 First Class Suites, but instead, because of changes to Singapore’s fleet, we experienced their First Class for the first time, had a shorter visit in the First Class Suites and then experienced this fascinating 33 hour itinerary in Business Class.
