SOUTH KOREA: VLOG 2
Another week, another vlog!
Follow me around as I successfully complete my first hike here in Korea, share a night out with friends, catch the first snowfall, and give you a tour of my Daegu apartment.
SOUTH KOREA: VLOG 1
Oh South Korea, you incredible country, you. If you don’t know already, I am a bit obsessed with my new home. I honestly have zero complaints when it comes to my seamless transition so far. That being said, I’ve had my moments, one of which you can read about here.
Personally, I have to laugh at myself and the situations I have come across, including the ones in this vlog. So, if watching me attempt to buy dish-washing liquid, getting a mini-tour of my neighborhood, and witnessing my ultimate “I’m lost” face tickles your fancy, I would highly suggest checking out my first vlog here in South Korea!

Xunantunich: The Best Mayan Ruins in Belize
I boarded my plane {still somewhat tipsy} to Central America around 4:00 AM. By this time, I had lived in New York for nearly nine months. I had grown accustomed to everything that came along with residing in the big apple: the crowded subways, the anxiety-triggering fast pace, the smell of morning garbage wafting along the Manhattan streets, and sounds of honking horns, angry shop owners, and police sirens.

My Stay at Lower Dover Jungle Lodge: Tarantulas, and Iguanas, and Monkeys, Oh My!
When given the opportunity to stay in a jungle lodge in the middle of the actual jungle, does one really have the freedom to say no?
Well technically, the answer is, yes. You can technically say ‘no’. But my question to you is why would you? Continue Reading
A LUST LETTER TO NEW YORK CITY
Each year around Valentines Day, I draft a post. Then I usually delete it. Then I draft another post, in hindsight. Love is a touchy subject. And one that I tend to dance around, depending on my company. But it happens to be one of my favorite topics to write about {though almost always in private and rarely shared with the internet}. Continue Reading
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE: WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE VISITING TIKAL NATIONAL PARK
Of all things I wanted to do and see in Belize and Guatemala, witnessing Mayan ruins was at the top of the list. After all, I was visiting an area of the world with an abundant supply of them. Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize are all home to famous ancient ruins. Tikal, however, was one of the most powerful kingdom’s in Maya history, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Guatemala. Continue Reading
