As I was planning my 10 days in South Korea, three destinations kept popping up over and over again: Seoul, Busan, and Gyeongju. I already knew about Seoul and Busan, but if you’re anything like me, you might not have heard of Gyeongju before starting your trip research. Still, with so many people recommending it…
If you’re planning a trip to Gyeongju, one thing you’ll notice pretty quickly is that this city feels very different from the rest of the country. While places like Seoul and Busan are known for their big city energy, Gyeongju is much quieter and filled with historic sites dating back to the Silla Kingdom, when…
If you’re planning a trip to Gyeongju, you’ll quickly realize this isn’t your typical city. It’s often called an open-air museum, and once you start exploring, that description makes a lot of sense. Instead of museums and galleries, the history is just… everywhere. Ancient tombs, temple ruins, and historic landmarks are scattered right across the…
At this stage, I’ve been to almost every single country in Southeast Asia, and after thinking about it a lot, I’d say that Indonesia is definitely one of my favorite countries to visit. It has so much variety that it feels like you’re exploring several different worlds at once. From the stunning Hindu temples of…
Lombok is Bali’s direct neighbor, and I am predicting that it will become more and more popular over the next 5-10 years, especially since Bali is becoming a bit of a mixed bag in terms of overtourism. I just spent over two months living in Lombok and exploring the island, and I absolutely loved it….
Out of all the islands in Southeast Asia, or even in Indonesia, that I have been to, Lombok is definitely one of my favorites. Lombok has so much beautiful nature, from waterfalls and volcanoes to incredible beaches and stunning islands. I’m convinced Lombok will be blowing up over the next few years, especially with its…
Lombok, Indonesia, is for sure one of the most up-and-coming places in all of Southeast Asia. Especially because Bali seems to get more and more overrun, people are heading over to Lombok, at least, that has been my experience. One reason why so many people are making the move is because of Lombok’s beautiful nature…
Lombok is for sure becoming more and more popular. It’s grown so much lately, and I assume it will only continue to scale over the next few years. At least, that’s my personal experience, and I think it has a lot to do with Bali getting a bit “ruined” by over-tourism and overdevelopment. People are…
Kuta Lombok is one of my favorite places I have visited in probably all of Southeast Asia so far. Yes, I’m a sucker for a good beach or surf town, even though I’m not a great surfer, I just love the vibes. With Kuta Lombok becoming more and more popular, and from what I’ve noticed,…
Lombok is officially Bali’s younger, cooler sibling right next to it on the map. From what I’ve seen, it’s definitely going to become more and more popular over the next few years, especially with Bali feeling so overrun lately. Many people, including myself, are opting for this neighboring island instead. I just spent a full…
