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…
Koh Samui is easily one of the most popular islands in Thailand, and it’s no secret that the turquoise water and the beautiful beaches are a huge reason for that. Since it’s the biggest of the three islands in the Gulf (sorry, Koh Tao and Koh Phangan!), there are a lot of stunning beaches to…
Koh Samui is definitely one of the most popular islands in Thailand, mostly because it has some of the best water, most stunning beaches and most beautiful resorts I’ve ever been to. I’m not necessarily a big “resort vacation” person usually, I’m more of a backpacker and traveler ,but when it’s for a family trip,…
Koh Samui is easily one of the biggest hotspots in Thailand. It’s part of the famous trio of Gulf islands along with Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, and I personally have a massive soft spot for it because the beaches and luxury resorts there are just amazing. But there is way more to do here…
With Koh Samui being one of the busiest and most popular islands in Thailand, it obviously has a massive range of restaurants, cafes, and local food spots. You can find everything here, from tiny local Thai joints and fresh seafood to high-end international restaurants. I personally love Thai food and could probably eat it every…
With so many amazing islands in the south of Thailand, I feel like it’s often really hard for me to decide which one to fly to because they all seem to be amazing. Beautiful turquoise waters, palm trees, white sand beaches, and amazing food, that’s pretty much the case for most of the islands here….
One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned the hard way is that “dry season” doesn’t mean the same thing everywhere in the country. It’s not like all of Thailand follows the same schedule! There are big differences between Northern Thailand, the southern islands, and the Gulf islands, which Koh Samui is a part of. I’ve…
