Yesterday, a friend shared with me that she had sold an unused weed eater on Facebook. She’s actually the last person I expected to hear that from! But honestly, I’m not too surprised — the internet has become this huge, sprawling marketplace for all kinds of new, lightly used, and sometimes totally unnecessary items. It’s interesting to note that nearly 25% of new items bought online get returned, and in my experience, that rate can be even higher—over 50%—because a beautiful picture of an item often doesn’t quite match what you see in real life.
I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
