Frontiers of the Mind

Lantern festivals are a breathtaking sight for those lucky enough to experience one, but they are usually very hard to find; especially in the United States where our environment doesn’t always serve as the safest atmosphere to launch lanterns into the air. This is beginning to change, as festivals have been popping up across the…

As a modern traveler and adventurer, you really have to know your body well before stepping out into the world to experience an adventurous trek. Especially now during this pandemic.

For years now, I have been trying to get the perfect photos in my custom Renaissance dress. My friend Alex made this dress for me for years ago before I attended the Ren Fair, and I love it. It is a replica of one of Danielle de Barbarac’s dresses from the movie Ever After. Well,…

Adventure, like many things, is a state of mind. Most people immediately assume that having an adventure entails going to some far-off land to accomplish a major quest.
