Now

This is my now page, documenting what I'm focused on at this time of my life.

Writing about my trip

Focusing on catching up with my travel blogging.

By now, I've fallen quite behind with documenting my adventures. While I'm living my best life in Vietnam at the moment, I'm still blogging about our road trip on the south island of New Zealand.

Watching The Legend of Korra

I never really believed that Korra lives up to its predecessor, Avatar: The Last Airbender. On this rewatch though, I really got into it.

While the second season is overly dramatic and concerns itself too much with politics or economics, it gets better towards the end. The characters start to grow on me, it's hilarious and I just love the origin story of the first Avatar, Wang.

Reading Period Power

It's fascinating to me that half of the human population has a reproductive system and still I know so little about the menstrual cycle.

Reading this book not only lets me understand my girlfriend better. Also, it allows me learn a lot about the wonders of the human body.

Try this on for size:

Adrenaline and noradrenaline are the first responders to any stressful situation that you find yourself in. Adrenaline makes your heart rate jump up, makes you breathe faster, tenses your muscles and gives you a surge of energy.

Noradrenaline diverts blood from the organs that aren't essential when it comes to fighting or fleeing, such as your digestive tract, reproductive system and skin, in order to pump blood to your heart, lungs and muscles (this is why when you lie down after a busy day or stressful journey you'll hear your belly gurgling; it's a sign that blood flow is returning to your gut, and the movement it uses to digest and move food along has been switched back on again, thus producing a gurgle.)
