Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s Gulf islands, along with Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, and it’s easily one of the most popular resort and beach vacation destinations in the country. I’ve seen some of the most beautiful turquoise waters of my life here! Between the stunning beaches and some of my favorite hotels and…
Koh Samui is definitely one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand, with stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and just beautiful tropical views. It’s one of the three “bay islands” in the Gulf of Thailand, sitting right next to Koh Phangan (which I’m sure you’ve heard of for its Full Moon Party) and Koh Tao, which…
I absolutely love historical places, and while the city of Seoul is incredible, what really took me by surprise is just how stunning the palaces around the city are. Seoul has made them so easily accessible to visitors, and they really encourage tourists to come, dress up in traditional hanbok, and fully immerse themselves in…
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more aesthetic-looking library, and as someone who genuinely loves an afternoon spent reading in a cozy corner, I knew I had to make my way to the Insta-famous Starfield Library in Seoul. Over the past year or so, this place has absolutely exploded online, and my FYP did…
Kanazawa is easily one of my favorite “off the beaten path” cities in Japan. When I say off the beaten path, I just mean it’s a little less crowded and intense than Kyoto or Tokyo. It’s definitely not a total secret, but it feels like a breath of fresh air. I fell in love with…
Kanazawa is definitely one of my favorite places I’ve visited in Japan, mainly because it feels so much less touristy and more “off the beaten path” than the usual places like Tokyo or Kyoto. Kanazawa is a smaller city, about a two-hour ride from Kyoto, and it’s famous for its beautiful castle, stunning Japanese gardens,…
I’ve traveled to over 30 countries solo, and let me tell you… I’ve truly seen it all. From meeting my amazing partner in a hostel bar, to getting robbed in South America (character development, I guess), solo travel has been veryyyy all over the board. But because of that, I can confidently say I know…
Once I booked my flight to Seoul, I immediately started doing research on Korean beauty products to buy. And let me tell you… I was instantly overwhelmed. Thousands of TikToks, endless Olive Young haul videos, “holy grail” product lists, people arguing about what’s actually popular in Korea vs what Americans just made trendy… I genuinely…
Kanazawa was a city that wasn’t even on my radar at the beginning of my trip. It was a place I only ended up squeezing into my itinerary at the very last minute, but honestly, I am so glad I did. Kanazawa is beautifully calm, with amazing traditional geisha and samurai districts, stunning Japanese gardens,…
During my whole time in Japan, the food was definitely one of the things I cared about the most. Honestly, I think finding a good place for dinner was more important to me than actual sightseeing, and I definitely found some amazing spots in Kanazawa. Kanazawa is much smaller, quieter, and way less touristy than…
