welcome!
This newsletter of mine has taken up space on the internet through various blogging forms since 2019, eventually finding home here on Substack. Today, renee’s rambles is a personal mixed bag. You’ll get my commentary on politics, travel, consumptions, and topical cultural interests.
A bit about me: I’m a Vietnamese-American Pacific Northwester who grew up abroad in Hong Kong and Singapore, currently accumulating frequent flyer miles traveling between Asia, Europe, and the US.
For fun, I’m a big fan of coffee shop hopping, frequenting my local yoga studio, exploring new places, and reading non-fiction. Recent favorite reads include Döppelganger by Naomi Klein, Women at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi, and The Unreality of Memory by Elisa Gabbert.
I caught the travel bug at age 8 and have since been dreaming of visiting as many countries as possible. In between adventures, you’ll find me studying International Relations at the University of Edinburgh.
