Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Aqua Luna in the Sparkling Victoria Harbour. Hong Kong will elicit sensory overload from just about anyone who is unsuspecting– the lights, the smells, the sounds. At first the city can be a little intimidating with its densely packed […]

She grew up in a small town but spent many years of her life traveling all over the world. She has been to 39 countries, but the list will grow to 44 by the end of this summer! She is […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Wats in Chiang Mai, Thailand. One of my absolute favorite things about traveling around Thailand is getting to explore all of the wats, or Thai temples. While they do happen to be all across the country, I feel there is no […]
Since becoming a part of the travel blogging community, there is one city that I’ve heard nothing but constant praise for: Chiang Mai. Home to a sizable travel blogging community, everyone seems to love this city. Can I even call Chiang Mai a city? It feels barely bigger than a town! Located in the northern […]

You guys seem to love my previous packing posts, so I thought I’d share how I packed for a 6-week Europe adventure in summer! Packing for 6-weeks of non-stop travel was actually a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, especially since I was trying to get everything in one bag. It doesn’t help […]
EXCITING news! Tomorrow I’ll be setting off to Europe for the first time ever. I know right? I can’t believe I’ve never been either. I’ll be ticking off my third continent by embarking on a 5 week long adventure… with my mom. Who, wait for it… has never been to Europe either! We’ve got a […]
As the infamous Hong Kong humidity comes rolling in, the junk boats start sailing out. And while the term “junk boat” may have once referred to the traditional Chinese fishing boats famous for their red sails, today it seems to refer to any sort of pleasure-yacht– and usually one that involves all you can drink […]
As I’m writing this, I am sitting in the airport in Hong Kong, the last minutes of our time here ticking down. This past week was full of going away parties– farewell dinners with family, drinks with friends and coworkers. Being an expat is an amazing experience, but due to the short-lived nature of most expats’ careers […]
Next week marks the famous Dragon Boat festival in Hong Kong. Called Tuen Ng in Chinese, this festival always falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, and has been taking place since as far back as the third century. While this festival has a bit of a long history, it is mainly known for […]
