Welcome back, my travel enthusiast fellows! Packing for a backpacking trip overseas can be a gruesome task. In my experience, my biggest problem has always been over-packing. I remember, because when I studied abroad in Singapore, I brought two large suitcases full of things with me. I didn't use most of them. When I decided to travel [...]
Welcome back, fellow travel enthusiasts! This week, I’d like to share some of my best adventures while traveling!

I really [...]
Welcome back, my fellow travel enthusiasts! This week, I'd like to share some of the grossest and most disgusting things that has happened to me while traveling.

There are three types of people: those who travel, those who want to travel, and those who don't, can't, and never will. At 23, I'm not quite a kid and not old. People around me are getting jobs, making families, buying houses, etc. I often think to myself... what have I done with my life? [...]

Food, food, food, food, food! Is what most people hear when they travel with me. In all of my travels, food plays a crucial role to my enjoyment. As a vegetarian since birth, I'm always wary of eating out at restaurants. Luckily, I am blessed with a wonderful mother, who is the best chef in [...]
A measly collection of pictures of bridges I've seen in my travels. These very important inventions that connect people, places, and things. They're fascinating, inspiring, romantic, and will never go out of style. 😉 Enjoy! A response to Photo Challenge: Bridge

How do I beat the story where I almost fell off a coconut tree? Or the time I saw a buffalo trip three feet in front of me? I guess I will have to tell you the panda story. Panda? How often in my life do I get to see a panda? Only once. And [...]

Over the years, I've learned so many things from trial and error. I've slept on the border, I've fallen from a motorbike, I've almost drowned while scuba diving, I've lost some of my most prized possessions, I've almost fallen from a coconut tree, and many more which I can tell you about in Travel Challenge [...]
Within a small village just an hour outside of Bangkok, Thailand lies the famous floating market, Damnoen Saduak. Hundreds of local vendors row out on boats to sell their most colorful fruits and vegetables. There are clothes, music, foods, and animals. How do hundreds of boats fit through such a small canal?

Celebrating my first Vietnamese New Year Tet in my motherland and experiencing traditions passed on for thousands of years. Wearing the traditional Ao Dai, holding red packets (with money inside), red and gold peace and prosperity decorations, and vibrant flowers of all colors for the best luck of the year. A Blog Response to Photo [...]
This is a message to those who wish to move to the city, but are scared of the dreaded unknown. This is a message to parents or friends who have loved ones wanting to move to city and are afraid for them. Everything will be okay. When I decided to move to New York City, I [...]
The sunrise view of Angkor Wat and it's reflection on the water is an experience of a lifetime. But I was not told of the thousands of other people who were also trying to see that view every morning. Although the loud chattering and cramped standing space had destroyed the serene picture that I had [...]
Dear Chicago, Don’t tell Atlanta, but you’re “home” to me right now. I was never able to explore the inner workings of that city like I have for Chicago. The past three years have been shaped by weekend outings, long L rides and some unforgettable memories. From Lollapalooza to the 606 to Portillo’s, my Chicago [...]
