Collecting coffee shop stamps is a full-on adventure of celebrating local businesses and getting to know the people that help fuel my day.
We believe in getting to know people and places through commerce and design. Someone else's daily diet of lo-fi goods is simple to her yet sacred to us, and vice versa. Let's marvel at each other's mundane, because that shit is dope.

Collecting coffee shop stamps is a full-on adventure of celebrating local businesses and getting to know the people that help fuel my day.
Ten years later and we’re still doing what we love – supporting small businesses that turn out lo-fi goods, the old school way.
Bulgaria was a lesson in learning how to see again. I was reminded to blink away the crud, to search for the magic in the everyday.
When I heard about The Note Coffee, I knew I had to visit. A post-it themed cafe?! MY PEOPLE!
One trip to Việt Nam down and I was ready for the crazy awesomeness – her frenzied pace mixed with grime, yet still a total babe. My parents though – they were in complete awe.
Odeng always tastes better when the weather is freezin’... huddled under the tarp, next to a steamin’ cart, stuffin’ face and washin’ it all down with a cup of pipin’ hot broth.
Yoonha Kimbap is a mother-daughter duo named after the daughter, Yoonha. It’s the kinda place I crave during sourcing trips – a home cooked meal complete with all the family feels.
Seeing the couple sell rubbers bands out of their crackin’ stand was beautiful. ‘Cause no matter how advanced shit becomes, we still need mom-and-pop shops of the world holdin’ court.
There’s so much of the world to see but some countries keep pullin’ me back. I returned to Colombia for the third time but this trip, I explored an area new to me – the Paisa region.
For the last seven years, I've been on the RAH WORLD TOUR – 84 months of living on the road, averaging 10-14 nights a month, waking up in a different city, in a bed new to me.
The cafe is a dreamy little spot that oozes simple romance. The soft haze. The peach glow.
I’m not exactly a country girl, so I was as surprised as anyone that a pilgrimage to paradise meant trekking to rural Georgia.
8ARM felt like your cool kid friend was cooking for you. Sippin’ coffee, scopin’ out the designy vintage touches while a hip crowd trickled in.
Sometimes I just wanna discover a touristy-but-not-touristy shop and fall in love with everything. Lucky for me, I discovered just the spot in Puebla.
The travel life be rad – but it’s all about the grind. You gotta turn and face the hard shit – the shit that ignites.
I grew up with Vietnamese friends, so way before I visited a corner nail salon or had my first bowl of phở, I ate bún chả giò. Another thing I learned about Vietnamese culture? Their deep connection with Buddhism.
Belgrade be weird. Not crazy weird. Or even funny ha-ha weird. Like some Twilight Zone shit kind of weird.
Driving down narrow roads, our mini car huggin’ the stone walls as we rounded one corner after the next. For sure we were on the road to nowhere.
