Traveling in the U.S.

While there are too many cities to go in depth for each place I’ve visited, I figured I could talk about transportation for a few that I’ve been to. Of course, your first thought might be to drive. And while you can do that, sometimes it’s not the most cost-effective or convenient to do so,…

Thailand

I traveled here with a friend in 2019, and it was the first trip I took without someone to guide us through transportation or take us to sightsee. Needless to say, it was a learning process, but it helped that my friend and I had each other and divided the responsibilities. Some general tips: I…

Japan

Unlike Korea, when I traveled to Japan, I was fortunate enough to have someone to guide me through the public transportation. My aunt has a Japanese friend from high school, so we all traveled together when we visited. Although I can’t tell you the specifics, since I didn’t book the tickets and was merely along…

First stop, South Korea

South Korea was the first country I traveled to, and since I lived there for a year, there are a lot of places I would recommend and tips I have for getting around. You can fly into Incheon (which is right next to Seoul) or Busan. When you get to the airport, you can get…

Buses, and trains, and subways, oh my.

Before we talk about specific places, let’s discuss transportation. In almost every major city, you can get around easily using public transportation. Typically, you can also just use a credit card that has the tap to pay feature to pay the fare (although there are a few exceptions). Before traveling somewhere, I usually just google…

Travel Introduction

For those who know me, you probably are aware by now how much I like to travel, and how much traveling I have done in recent years. Because of that, I figured it might be fun to talk about the places I’ve been, some tips I have when traveling in those places, and the top…

Week One in England

To keep everyone on the same page, I was unable to leave for England until September 18th instead of the 13th because I didn’t get my passport back from the visa center in time. But I made it safely! I can’t believe it’s already been a week since I landed in England. It feels both…

A New Journey

Some of you may know, but I thought I would make an official announcement of my latest life update. At the beginning of December in 2019, I applied to grad school and have since been accepted. Woo! It’s been a long journey to get here because of the pandemic, but the time has finally arrived…

August’s Aims

It’s already August, which means two things. One, it’s time for another resolution, and two, WHERE has the year gone?? To be quite frank, 2020 did not turn out at all as I was expecting, which I am sure we all experienced in one way or another. I was planning on traveling to 5 different…

Venturing to Vancouver

  The first weekend in February my friend Melanie and I took yet another trip to a K-pop concert. This stop: Vancouver. It’s actually the furthest west that either of us had been, which was cool. We were able to cross two things off our bucket lists that way. The Concert This trip was to…
