16 hour drives. 6 days in paradise. 3 best friends. 2 disposable cameras. 1 amazing experience. Life is good! That is all! xoxox

Over spring break, I joined Theophilus London on his SXSW excursion. It totally kicked ass, and it was my first time in Texas, too! Expect some video footage soon. Thanks for bringing the good times, Austin! xoxox

Hello from Austin! SXSW has been so much fun so far! The weather is so nice, but it gets pretty chilly at night so I always have to change once the sun starts going down. I can’t complain, I like having an outfit change half way throughout my day. During the day, I rocked a [...]

Socotra from yumna on Vimeo. Wow, where do I begin? Socotra is definitely the most beautiful, unusual place I have ever been to in my life. The island is small and pretty much secluded from the world around it, but in the best way possible! Just imagine being surrounded by the nicest, most welcoming people [...]

Ahlan wa sahlan min Al Yemen (Hello from Yemen)! Ringing in the new year with my family in Yemen has been a completely different NYE experience for me, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world! I’ve spent the past few days in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, and tomorrow I’ll be heading to [...]

This has been one helluva year, hasn’t it? I think we’ve all come a long way and I’m so ready to say hello to a new year! I spent most of last night going through photographs and personal journal entries from the past year. It’s exciting to see how much has happened, how much I’ve [...]

My baby boy Brian (amazingly talented guy, I highly recommend that you check his work out!) told me about The Yas Hotel before I came out to Abu Dhabi. I immediately knew it was something I had to see while I was here. It’s located on Yas Island which recently hosted the Formula 1 Etihad [...]

Greetings from Abu Dhabi! I got here a day after my last final, it feels so nice to sleep in and just r e l a x. Seems like I just missed the snow storms back in NYC, ha! It looks gorgeous out there even though I know you guys are freezing your butts off. [...]

This December, I’ll be making my yearly visit to the Middle East. Last year, my family told me of an interesting island called Socotra, which is known as Yemen’s Galapagos. I wasn’t able to make the trip there last year, but this year I’ll finally have the chance to do so. The island has been [...]

Um, really boring. It was pretty and all, but at the end of the day, I guess it is just an over-priced resort on a man-made, palm-shaped island. Everything to do there required an absurd amount of money, which we eventually decided was not worth spending. Parking was £150, entrance to the aquarium was £100, [...]
