Did you know July has been National Ice Cream Month? Let me repeat that– National Ice Cream Month. A whole month, dedicated to ice cream! And as an avid lover of ice cream, you better believe I’ve been celebrating. Though honestly, finding ice cream in Hong Kong is no easy task. Of course you can go to […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is from Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore. One of my favorite parts of Singapore was getting to explore all the different religious temples and shrines. Since we were staying at a hotel in Chinatown, I of course had to check […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of a the iconic Clock Tower in Hong Kong. At 44 meters tall, the old Clock Tower in Tsim Sha Tsui is the only thing that remains of the Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus. Erected in 1913, the Clock Tower was made from […]
If you’ve ever spent time talking to children, you know that they often say the darndest things. Now add in the fact that they’re still learning English and you’ve got yourself the potential for some hilarious conversations. Teaching English in Hong Kong hasn’t always been the easiest job.

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is from Owakudani in Hakone, Japan.

Living abroad for an uncertain amount of time can be hard. I left my pets back home and I find myself constantly fighting any temptation to get a pet while in Hong Kong. Lucky for me, while we were in Japan I had the chance to visit a cat cafe. Everyone loves cats. I mean really, […]
It’s official! I’ve officially been living in Hong Kong for one year now. And holy cow did it go by fast. While I could go on and on about how amazing and life changing this year has been, I won’t. At least not in this post. Instead what I wanted to talk about today, is why all the […]
After living abroad in two very different Asian countries, Japan and Hong Kong, I am often asked a lot of questions regarding life in Asia. One of the most common questions I seem to get asked is whether or not one should learn Japanese before moving to Japan. And while I’m quite the advocate for learning any local language […]
As a girl, it’s no surprise I love bags. I’m constantly getting told off by Johnny that I don’t need another bag the minute my eyes begin to wander. But being a blogger means I’m often carrying around my camera gear, so a good bag is a little more important to me than most girls. […]
