To ring in 2019, I celebrated at the Floating Palace New Year’s Countdown Party with GSM in Seoul. I squeezed loved ones, toasted a sky set ablaze with fireworks, and danced the night away. It was the perfect way to enter the new year, and one of the best NYE celebrations I’ve ever experienced. 2019 is already shaping up to be a year of promise, and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you. On that note, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks, as always, for following me en route.

Video: Christmas in South Korea + the Last Week of School
This week I celebrated Christmas in South Korea. While it wasn’t filled with the normal traditions I experience at home, it was meaningful nonetheless. I can also say I survived my first year teaching English in South Korea! I am so proud of my little kiddies and taken aback by how much I’ve grown to care for them. With only a month left in South Korea, I plan to make the most of every moment. Coming up next, I’ll be ringing in the New Year in Seoul with some of my favorite humans.

In early October I made my way back to Seoul for an extended weekend. Let’s be honest, I basically spent the entire weekend eating {as you will see}. Join me as I visit Myeongdong, Gangnam, and Yongma Land in my favorite city in Korea!

For my second Japan vlog, I visited Kyoto and Osaka. After spending only one full day in each city, it was clear to me I was only scratching the surface. That being said, I was able to see many of the popular destinations. In Kyoto I witnessed Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the Gion District. In Osaka, I walked through Dotonbori and visited Osaka Castle. Catch up by watching my first Japan vlog here. Continue Reading
Video: 3 Days in Tokyo, Japan
Last month I hopped across the pond from South Korea, and visited Japan for the very first time. I had anticipated this trip since arriving to Asia this past February. With only a few days in the country, I wanted to prioritize the majority of my time in Tokyo. Enjoy the first of two vlogs in Japan! Kyoto and Osaka are coming up next. Continue Reading
Video: Autumn in Daegu + Eating Live Octopus!
Well we are rounding week four of being sick here in Korea… Eventually I couldn’t handle it anymore and went to Seoul over this past weekend. Although it was one of the best weekends I’ve had here in Korea, you can imagine it didn’t help in the slightest in terms of getting better. So, once again I’m laying in bed with my tissues and tea. I thought it would be a good opportunity to gather random footage I’ve taken these past few months and put it all in a vlog. Continue Reading
Video: Visiting Singapore {My 30th Country}
Today I am sharing a vlog of my first {and only} visit to Singapore a couple months ago. Some highlights include Joo Chiat, the Gardens by the Bay, Cloud Forest, and Flower Dome. And, Singapore marked my 30th country to date, meaning I successfully accomplished my goal of visiting 30 countries before turning 30! Continue Reading
Video: 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This week, I had planned to film and upload an update video after 8 months of living in South Korea. Then my fur baby passed away {RIP to my little B} and filming sounded like the last thing I wanted to do. Instead, I decided to share my trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur was one of the most surprising destinations I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Editing this vlog brought back so many positive memories and provided me with the best distraction. I hope you enjoy it! Continue Reading

Video: 24 Hours in Bangkok, Thailand
In case you were unaware, I recently went on a 13 day trip through Southeast Asia. My first stop was Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. After spending only one afternoon in Bangkok, I quickly realized 24 hours was not nearly enough time to enjoy the city. That being said, follow along as I constantly talk about hydration {don’t ask me why}, run around the city a sweaty mess, and visit some of the most stunning temples in Thailand. Continue Reading
