Am I an expat travel burnout? I’m beginning to think I might be. Tomorrow night I’m leaving Seoul to travel to Nanjing, Taipei, and Qingdao. I’ll be taking 4 flights in 5 days. What am I thinking? What was I thinking booking circular flights for such a short period of time? I feel nervous because…

Japan v: I love the nightlife
After our trip to the Aquarium, my “travel companions” left for Kyoto and Nara (which I would highly recommend as you really can do Osaka in one day). Completely drained from our whirlwind adventure the day before, I headed back to the hostel for some chill time. I met a really cool girl from England…
Japan iv: Last day in Osaka at the Aquarium
After an epic first day my feet were still killing me. I had intended to go to Universal Studios Osaka as well as the Umeda Sky Building. After hearing that Universal was all line ups and pushy people (even if you showed up when the gate opens) I decided that spending $75 just to see The Wizarding World…
Japan iii: Osaka in One Day
Osaka can, in fact, be done in a day. Had I worn appropriate footwear I really would have checked everything off my list and have been off to Kyoto for Friday, but I opted for flats and that was not the brightest idea so my advice for you if you’re just here for the pictures…
Japan ii: The first night
We checked in around 8 PM at J-Hoppers Hostel in Fukushima after a 70 minute ride on the JR line from the airport. I thought that we had all booked spaces in the mixed dorms, but my friends had gone ahead and booked a triple room for themselves. J-Hoppers offered me a space in the…
Japan i: Fly Peach
Getting to the airport for my mini-break (sorry – “summer vacation” from Wednesday – Sunday) was perhaps the easiest and least stressful travel-related thing I’ve ever done. Last Wednesday I slept in, did a load of laundry, rocked Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred, packed, and took the subway to the airport. From the time I…
Weekend Warriors iii: Typhoon Nangka
I’d like to preface this post with the fact that we have been VERY lucky in Busan. We have had some rain and high winds but even that has not deterred us from heading to the beach and swimming in the rain. Living in Hwamyeong, we truly are Weekend Warriors. We live in a bubble…
I dream in Skyscanner part I
I want to see everything and go everywhere. I’ve traveled pretty extensively throughout Europe, I’ve been fortunate enough to perform in China, England, The United States, and South Africa, and I still feel like I haven’t even started to see the world! Being in Korea just makes me want to jet set each and every week do a…
