2026-08 - Bangalore, India

Bangalore is my second home. My best friends live here. This is my 5th or 6th trip here. I have a local bank account and cellphone here. I’m planning on moving here.

Here, I’m super social and laugh harder than I have in a long time. My friends introduce me to their friends. It’s really sweet and emotionally nourishing.

This time, more than ever, I walked and walked around Bangalore. August weather here is better here than December. I’m using Namma Metro and UPI like a pro. I just need to learn some Kannada.

And while here, I met up with six guys I’d been emailing with but hadn’t had the chance to talk one-on-one with before.
