Baraka, a non-linear film directed by Ron Fricke, is my go-to movie recommendation. It is just a beautiful and spiritual piece of cinema. I fall in love with it over and over again whenever I watch it. Runners-up include Sunset Boulevard (Gloria Swanson's performance is just so beautiful… Read More

I got Laos. That is literally one of my dream destinations. Guess I'll have to book that trip and pack my bags now...
