I feel like Thailand is one of the most talked-about countries at the moment. It’s just getting more and more popular with expats, digital nomads, and people headed there on vacation. Because of that, one thing loads of people have asked me recently is: what’s it actually like right now, and is it still as…
If you’ve read any of my other guides on Thailand already, then you probably know that it is one of my favorite countries in Southeast Asia. I’m always happy to come back here because there is just something about the vibe that never gets old. I just got back from a longer five-week trip around…
I’ve been to Thailand three times now over the past eight years, and since I just got back from a massive trip there, I feel like I finally have a really clear picture of how the country has changed and, more importantly, if it’s still worth your time and money. Thailand is most definitely one…
If I really think about it, Thailand is probably my favorite country in Southeast Asia, and honestly, it isn’t even close. There’s just so much I love about being here. From the incredible food (obviously) to the culture and the stunning nature, whether we’re talking about the islands in the south or the mountains in…
Korea really took me by surprise in so many different ways.

But once I actually started building a Korea travel itinerary, I got…
South Korea was one of my favorite destinations in all of my travels last year! And honestly, I had zero intention of visiting at first. I thought it might be too expensive and it just seemed kind of out of the way, but after spotting a super cheap flight from Tokyo, I decided to end…
Mangwon ended up being one of the biggest surprises of my entire Seoul trip. This quiet residential neighborhood near the Han River, just a few stops from Hongdae, completely stole my heart… and I honestly think it will steal yours too. Unlike some of the more famous areas in the city, Mangwon hasn’t been totally…
Koh Samui is one of the largest islands in Thailand, and because of that, there is so much to do! From all sorts of beach activities and island hopping to snorkeling and visiting elephant sanctuaries, the island is packed with cool things to do. I spent almost two weeks in Koh Samui myself, so I…
Koh Samui has, without a doubt, some of the best hotels and resorts I’ve ever stayed in. From small boutique resorts to huge beachfront properties, the island has so much to choose from. I remember when I was booking my own trip, I felt pretty overwhelmed. The island is huge, and I wasn’t sure which…
