My name is Raya and I just recently quit my job and moved across the country from Orlando, FL to Phoenix, AZ.
I am 28, single, and I love all things related to martial arts, puppies, running, movies, music, carbohydrates, and cooking. Oh yes, and wine. I hope you enjoy following my journey as I try to build a life from scratch here in Phoenix.

So happy that I found your blog! I just saw your comment on Jenna’s blog about how you moved to AZ! I am moving there next month from Massachusetts and I don’t know anyone! Any advice?!
Hi! Yay, thanks for the comment. I LOVE Jenna’s blog! What part of AZ are you moving to?? I have lots of advice-especially if you’re in my area!!
I am moving to Tempe and will be working in Phoenix! Where are you located?! Advice would be wonderful!
Haha! I love “because blogging is cheaper than therapy”. It is so true!
Welcome to hot Phoenix! I moved here from Seattle almost a year ago. Definitely a transition but an adventure none the less.
How long have you lived here? I hope you have gone on our amazing hikes and not just camelback!!! Great blog!!!! very inspirational!
