It’s always interesting to reflect back on trips and contemplate what went right, and what went wrong. There is only so much research you can do about a location to know what to expect. In most cases, you must actually visit a destination in order to truly grasp the nature of it. In Thailand, this was absolutely the case. Continue Reading
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
It was about hour… dramatic pause while I attempt to do second grade math… 13 in transit. I was on board flight two of the day. My flight from Daegu to Shanghai was spectacular in the sense that it lasted one measly hour, and I only got slightly nervous during take off. I found myself on flight two when I suddenly discovered something miraculous. Continue Reading
My trip to Central America was by far my favorite solo adventure thus far. I met so many incredible people and witnessed truly remarkable destinations along the way. Temple climbing, cuddling with iguanas, and swimming with sharks were only some of the activities which kept me busy. I cannot wait to eventually return to Belize and Guatemala – but until then, I’ll always keep this footage to remind myself of the unforgettable memories I created. Continue Reading
If you read my previous post here, you’ll know that I preferred the island of Caye Caulker in Belize, over the ever-popular Ambergris Caye. The truth is, many tourists find Caye Caulker “boring” once they spend time on Ambergris Caye. For me, that simply wasn’t the case. I immediately wanted to return to Caye Caulker after only a couple hours on Ambergris Caye. As always, it comes down to personal preference, but today I’m sharing why I think you’ll fall in love with Caye Caulker. Continue Reading
It’s easy to stumble upon an Instagram account filled with dreamy travel photos and immediately become envious. It’s just as easy to jump to conclusions and assume that these people get to travel the world, and therefore are living the dream. To some extent this is true – they are living the dream, or at least version of it. But it’s not the whole story. Continue Reading
After nearly five months in South Korea, I finally made it Seoul! Before moving to South Korea, Seoul was about the only city I was familiar with in the country. It’s the city every expat wants to live in, and the city every ESL teacher wants to teach in. After exploring Seoul for myself, I can absolutely see why. Continue Reading
The number one question I get from friends and family curious about my lifestyle is, “How do you constantly get to travel?” It’s a fair question since I have traveled abroad to over 25 countries {and lived in four of them} since graduating from university five years ago. That being said, I’m not some fancy “Instagram Influencer” getting paid to see the world. In fact, more often than not, I’m living on a shoestring budget. I have, however, made travel my number one priority in life. Continue Reading
Before arriving back in February, I spent months researching my new home. I wanted to be as prepared as possible for life in South Korea. I pride myself on my due diligence because transitioning into life in South Korea has, honestly, been rather seamless. Continue Reading
I can happily admit that I am not an expert when it comes to certain aspects of traveling. When it comes to having an extreme fear of flying as a world traveler, however, I’m your go-to girl. Continue Reading
