One of the best cultural experiences I have ever had in Korea is the traditional Korean Folk Village in Yongin. Just a small stop away from Seoul, transport yourself into the Joseon Era and experience daily life as it was during that time. You will love this traditional village because Korea is such a beautiful […] Read more…
Tokyo can be super overwhelming for a first time traveler. It’s hard to choose something in a city so endless with opportunity. Should you go see a robot show or check out the Lolitas at Harajuku?

On today’s guest post, I’m super excited to feature my dear friend, Jaclyn Crawford. In high school, we played badminton, sang our favorite High School Musical songs at practice, and talked about our dreams.

So you wanna travel Japan to see samurai, geishas, and funky style in Tokyo? Maybe you’ve heard about all the advanced technology and want to try authentic sushi?
