Hello and welcome! It’s taken roughly 2.5 years to finally launch this site, but better late then never :) My life is constantly changing and I’m experiencing new things everyday; and I figured I should start keeping notes somewhere so precious moments don't slip by! But here’s your disclaimer that I am not an aspiring fashion or fitness blogger, and I am just learning how to use my camera. The intent of this blog is simply a place for me to document the things that I experience and the things that inspire me. If you can't understand my passion for wine, fascination with the outdoors, or obsession over birds...you should probably leave now..

Anything for the Crown was a line that stood out to me from the song "Primadonna" by Marina and the Diamonds, and has stuck with me since. To me, it means going after what you want, even if it's as big as the world. There's a sense of empowerment in being unapologetic for knowing what you want and going after it.

For those of you who know me well, you’re aware of my OCD-like tendencies and never-ending “to do/visit/run/eat/etc” lists. Well, the time has come to bring those lists to life and make them happen. Anything for the Crown is my journey of doing and not wishing, experiencing and not waiting, and learning and not regretting.

And I hope you'll find a little inspiration from it.
