A New Chapter in My Career

I have some exciting news to share! After several months of job searching, I finally found an opportunity that aligns perfectly with my marketing experience and my personal and professional environmental career goals. On October 31, 2022, I received a job offer from Design Workshop, an international landscape architecture and design firm. I’ll be supporting the Texas offices and contributing to the firm’s marketing and business development efforts.

Quick Trip to Denver for the Job Interview

My journey to this new role took me on a quick trip to Denver for the final interview. One surprising discovery along the way was finding out the Austin Airport has live music inside—an unexpected treat! In Denver, I had the chance to dine near downtown at a unique restaurant located in a former mortuary, which added an interesting twist to the evening.

Celebrating Lucktoberfest at Willie’s Ranch

I’m thrilled to share my recent adventure at Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch for Lucktoberfest. On October 30, 2022, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of attending this unique event, thanks to her luck in winning free tickets from a local radio station.

A Night of Fun, Swag, and Music

The evening was nothing short of magical. We were greeted with an array of German-inspired music that set the perfect festive tone for the night. The atmosphere was lively, and the crowd was full of energy and excitement. My girlfriend and I managed to score a lot of free swag, adding to the fun and making it a memorable experience.

Pursuing my dreams of owning/operating a ‘Space Colony Glamping Business,’ I registered to attend The Glamping Show USA 2022 in October as a first time attendee! I’m very satisfied with my choice of going to this glamping conference based on everything I learned and experienced firsthand!

Meow Wolf Denver’s Convergence Station Visit

October 3, 2022 No Comments

Making the most of my trip, I had to check off Denver’s Meow Wolf art immersion experience! I had previously been to another mind-blowing Meow Wolf installation in Santa Fe – so I knew this was going to be a trippy mental and visual overload. This exhibition is 4-stories tall with over 70+ unique installations, rooms, and portals with art from 300 creatives (110+ from Colorado).

“Meow Wolf Denver’s Convergence Station is unforgettable, transformational, and not to be missed. Discover immersive psychedelic, mind-bending art and an underlying rich narrative as you take a journey of discovery into a surreal, science-fictional epic.”
– Meow Wolf Denver Website

The premise of the “Convergence” story theme is the melding of four separate worlds and the memory wipe of all the displaced citizens. As part of this immersive experience, guests have to solve the mystery behind the convergence, specifically four separate women whose lives are somehow linked to this catastrophe.

Wildlife Halls at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science

The last attraction I went to using the 3 Day Mile High Culture Pass was the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. This museum was the best of the ones I visited mainly because of how vast and diverse the collections and interactive exhibits were.

My initial entrance and wandering on the first floor took me past a large T-Rex skeleton and pinned down insect displays, primarily of butterflies and month species.

Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum Visit

October 2, 2022 No Comments

After the History Colorado Center visit, I walked over to the Denver Art Museum and the nearby Clyfford Still Museum using the 3 Day Mile High Culture Pass. The Denver Art Museum is housed in a unique angular building that resemble shards of metal or jagged geometric cliff-side rocks.

“…the Denver Art Museum today is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the West Coast. The museum’s global art collections represent cultures around the world, with more than 70,000 works of art in 12 collections, including African art, architecture and design, art of the ancient Americas, Asian art, European and American art before 1900, Latin American art, Oceanic art, modern and contemporary art, photography, textile art and fashion, Indigenous arts of North America, and western American art. The museum’s global collections also reflect work by artists from Denver and the Rocky Mountain region—and provide invaluable ways for the community to learn about the world.”
