What Mary Knew
Prior to 2020 I had never, ever studied the life of Mary. She’s in the crèche I pull out every Christmas, but kind of boring (it’s the ritually unclean shepherds having their minds blown by the psychedelic light show in the sky which always interested me).

Travel While Not Traveling
My passport is collecting dust on the shelf above my desk, which makes me think I should be focusing a little more on basic household chores during this extended time at home!

Survival Tips For International Flights
Living in Hong Kong means traveling between 14 and 40 hours, door-to-door to see my family in America. Yes, they say life is supposed to be more about the journey than the destination, but that’s a lot of journeying in a cramped metal tube, filled with germs and strangers and crying babies and lackluster food! Spending a lot of time…
