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? While you may want to do a plethora of things, it’s no secret Tokyo is insanely expensive. As the […] Read more…
Are cute things really just for kids? Do you have to be under the age of 12 for it to be socially acceptable to have teddy bears on your notebooks, cute ducks on the tip of your pens and sassy rabbit stuffed animals? As I was wandering around in Seoul and pondering the meaning of […] Read more…
As humans we are all drawn to water. The human body is made of water, we need water to live, and water is healing. Mother Earth knew what she was doing when she graced us with two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. I couldn’t help being drawn by a romantic city by the ocean. […] Read more…
UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, the Blind Alley Racoon Cafe closed its doors for good. All the raccoons in the cafe have been taken to a safe zoo where they can live out the rest of their days in peace. If you’d like to visit a unique animal cafe, check out the Meerkat and Friends Cafe […] Read more…
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. I remember Skyping her when she was studying abroad in 2012 and I thought, “She’s living on the other side of the […] Read more…

I’m just gonna come out and say it. I’m an attractive foreigner in Korea. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this beholder just happens to like the girl who stares back in the mirror much more than she did when she lived in Okinawa. When I lived in Japan, I experienced a […] Read more…
I still hear the beating of the drums, the Eisa cries, and whistling in the distance. Sweat trickles down my back as I pull a purple fan with sakura out of my obi. I tuck my side-swept bangs back in their place as I sip an ice cold Orion beer. I see my friends next to […] Read more…
On the trees snow is glistening, lights are sparkling, and the air is alive with enjoyment. Picture cool winds as you wear your favorite parka and stroll Korea’s date spots season by season. Winter has a fantastic way of doing damage to our skin, hair, and morale, but the best part of living in Korea […] Read more…
This week’s guest post comes from my handsome successor, Nick, who took my place in Okinawa. He’s doing what I should have done when I first moved—properly documenting his experiences and giving advice on his travels. Nick once lived in Spain and he gives his input on which country is better livability-wise. I’ve only […] Read more…
Korea has an enormous couple culture. It’s all about your significant other in Korea. There’s matching couple outfits, shoes, couple apps, rings, and the list goes on and on. You can get couple rings whenever, but the 100 day mark is when many couples decide to take the leap and get one. When you’ve weathered […] Read more…
