⛰ Life update: Hello from the Himalayan foothills!

Hello there!

Life update: I moved to the foothills of the Himalayas! I've been posting photos and am still in awe of where I am. Living in a place as remote as this is a whole another experience and I cannot wait to share more about it. 😍 I did want to add though that I moved here with my parents and younger brother since this is where my Dad is posted out currently. I'll be writing more about the whole move on my blog, so stay tuned! You can even subscribe to my blog's RSS feed. 😄

I also completed Hacktoberfest with 4 pull requests! This was my favourite Hacktoberfest so far, shout out to Digital Ocean for how they improved it this year. 💜
