Atlanta

Day 18: Falling in love with Atlanta

November 1, 2017 by akingsmith@gmail.com

Yesterday, I wrote about my 19 favorite things about Atlanta, so I think it’s pretty clear that I love the city; but, today I wanted to write a little bit more about falling in love with Atlanta.

In September 2015, Ryan joined Praxis, and his business partner was in Atlanta, GA. So, we picked up our lives and moved to the Southern US. Ryan had to start his job a month before our lease was up in Canada, so he headed down a month earlier than I did. As he found an apartment and got settled into life in Georgia, I packed up the rest of our life back home, finished up work at lululemon, and embarked on a 5 day road trip to get down to Georgia.

After 5 days of solo travel, I was super stoked to see the Georgia state sign and know that I was almost “home”. Arriving at the apartment that Ryan had found felt strange. We had almost no furniture, cutlery or groceries, and it hardly felt like I was “home”. [Read more…] about Day 18: Falling in love with Atlanta

Exploring Charleston, SC

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but Atlanta was not on my radar as an American city that I ever wanted to visit, much less somewhere that I wanted to use as a base for my travels. Ryan’s job down in Georgia was a completely unexpected adventure, but it has given me a really cool opportunity to explore some of the Southern US.

Christmas in the South

December 26, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
I scurried around, faster than a mouse.
The stockings weren’t hung, there was no chimney to share,
no hopes that Santa Claus would soon be there.

On adjusting

December 4, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

Sometime last week I realized that life in Atlanta had become normal to me, and I was struck by the ability of humans to adjust to the things around us. [Read more…] about On adjusting

FOMP: Fear of Meeting People

November 13, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

On my first full day in ATL, I went on Meetup and signed up for a bunch of groups. I joined hiking groups, dinner groups, social get togethers, etc., and then I slowly watched event after event go by without attending. I had an excuse almost every time.
