Art exhibit in Ibirapuerta Park in downtown São Paulo, Brazil called “Quem sou eu?”, which translates to “Who am I?”. Posting this in honor of my younger sister @carolinefowlerdavis and all the soul-searching and identity crises she went through after accidentally dying her hair jet black in college several years ago ‍♀️->‍♀️ 🤔🤔🤔 . Today I’m feeling like the light blue face, but after the long trip home back to SF tonight, I’ll probably be more like the navy blue face :/ #brazil #worktravel #internationalexpansion #cantwaittogethome to @mbeisen1

I bought this book in the airport before my SFO->Chicago flight and ensuing layover, and I’m already more than halfway through. It is the craziest story of business, politics, and corruption that I’ve read in a long time and I cannot put it down. Has anyone else read it and taken away interesting insights (aside from, don’t invest in Russia)? Does anyone else secretly want to be #BillBrowder also? #RedNotice Next up: the latest and great from @yuval_noah_harari whose Sapiens was also equally un-put-down-able. I emailed him before our honeymoon in Israel so we could meet him at the University of Jerusalem but unfortunately he was too busy for us. @yuval_noah_harari Maybe next time we are in town?? Love, one of your fangirls

Happy happy birthday, Dadzo! We miss you so very much. To celebrate what would have been your 59th birthday, we did lots of activities you would’ve loved: cheering Caroline on in her Levi’s GranFondo bike race, visiting different vineyards around Sonoma, perusing all the tents at the Santa Rosa festival, and having lots of silly family time. We did our absolute best to make sure it was a weekend of fun and celebration because we know that’s what you would have wanted. It’s crazy to think that just 2 years ago you were here in SF celebrating your 57th birthday. So much has changed since then. But we think, talk, and laugh about you every single day. How lucky we are to have had you as our dadzo! I still have dreams where it was all a big misunderstanding and you’re actually back with us. We love you and miss you.

Things that Al Gore finds worthy of investment: energy systems, urban mobility, health and wellness, and... Asana! His investment firm Generation Investment Management just dropped their second annual Sustainability Trends Report. It has fascinating insights on macro trends of the Sustainability Revolution and areas to invest for high ROI financially, environmentally, and sustainably. Check it out! https://www.generationim.com/sustainability-trends/sustainability-trends-2018/ We met with the investment team today to update them on our international expansion and our mission to deliver seamless collaboration to teams around the world. Time to get moving, it’s a big world out there! #workmanagement #sustainability #impactinvesting #london Great seeing you tonight @algore !

Landing in Dublin on Sunday morning for a week of work = must stay awake all day and get adjusted to the time zone ASAP! This leads to random tourist activities like exploring Dublin Castle and posting Instagram pictures over a pint in the nearby pub. Very happy to be back at #Asana European HQ! #dublin #jetlag #internationalexpansion

Angel Island is much cooler and more beautiful than I have given it credit for. A gorgeous day to be out on the Bay! #angelisland #sanfrancisco @angelislandconservancy #theeisenfamily #imaneisennow

Mother/daughter dates are best on horseback. Very fun to get that little mama back in the saddle! Bonus: I found stables for English-style hunter/jumper lessons (+ post-lesson cool-downs on the beach). Time to get back in the groove! #seahorseranch #sanfrancisco @bethholtondavis

#Singapore skyline + projectile lion vomit (The locals said it first. See photo #2 for proof.) Quite the interesting city/country!

Asana has officially expanded down under into #Australia! After a week of account meetings, ~15 interviews, and office site visits, things for our landing team are falling into place. Very pumped to see what the APAC region will do #withasana. Stay tuned for more international updates from @teamasana ! Now on to #Singapore ...

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Clarke! 7 years ago in East Africa, we watched y’all’s relationship blossom throughout roadtrips to Burundi, nights out at Sundowner, and day to day life in Kigali. How special to celebrate you two with all the Rwanda gang in tow! Thanks for asking @thereallva and I to play violin for / sing your first dance, and allowing us to relive our days performing in Rwanda! We love you guys, ndagukunda! #KigalitoClarke @nicholas1clarke @gmcnerney @katherrun @chmilia @hintofmitch @sierrafogal

Not an ideal end for the Giants vs Cardinals game, but at least we left with Crazy Crab claw scarves as game swag! Go Giants! #sfgiants #crazycrab @sfgiants @heather.yan @eliot.chang @mbeisen1

Dog sitting a stuffed animal, I mean Stella, for @carolinefowlerdavis for the week. Sadie loves all the cousin bonding time but sometimes smacks Stella in the face with her tail when she gets excited Setting concept and side-by-side photography courtesy of @mbeisen1

Thank you to @doingitwells for the reminder and for sending out an overview of the candidates and measures! When can we expect your name on the ballot? #wwib #whartonwomen

Oh San Francisco, it’s so good to be home! A month is too long to be apart. We had some sleepy pups after all the crazy travel but the Montenegro->Istanbul->Boston->Tampa->SF journey was well worth it to all be home now. Thank you for welcoming us home with such gorgeous weather this weekend, SF! #thehoneymoonisover #theadventurescontinue

Blagaj Tejika, a 600 year old Dervish monastery carved into a cliff face on the Buna river outside of Mostar in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Dervishes still practice and worship there, so going through the prayer rooms and up the creaky wooden stairs feels like a spiritual behind-the-scenes. I just wish we could’ve gone for an icy dip in the caves of the Buna river! #blagajtekija #mostar #bosnia

We’re just in that honeymoon phase. @mbeisen1 #mostar #bosniaandherzegovina

A gorgeous day in Montenegro for the 100-foot deep Oreste wreck dive: an Italian Navy ship, sunk in 1942 (officially by hitting an underwater mine; unofficially by British aircraft). Great visibility and well-preserved ship parts. Even our subsequent shallower dives were gorgeous, with caves to swim through and breathtaking cliffsides (not so many fish or corals, which is the norm for the Adriatic/Mediterranean). Many more wrecks to explore. I highly recommend this region for a great beachy and scuba diving vacation! #Budva #Montenegro #honeymoon

Post-war remains of the 1984 Olympic bobsled track in what was then Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. It is now known as Sarajevo, Bosnia&Herzegovina. The Bosnian War, and Siege of Sarajevo, of 1992-1995 has changed the landscape quite a bit since then. At that time, East Germany was also an official Olympic participant. Such an eerie reminder of the conflict and devastation that can take place when nationalist, ethnic, and religious fervor are taken advantage of (also, the parallels with the 1994 Rwandan genocide, occurring at the same time as the Bosnian War, had me reeling the whole time we were in Sarajevo). USA, take note! #honeymoon #romantic? #sarajevo #bosnia

Being in Slovenia is like being in a postcard at every moment. #honeymoon #lakebled #slovenia
