Did you know Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays?

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea. Follow @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

During the pandemic, I was really bored so I challenged myself to cosplay/dress up as all my favorite characters. I took inspiration from Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and Star Wars. To this day, these are some of my most favorite photos.

I also challenged myself to learn how to do cinemagraphs which was super fun!

Honestly, I can’t wait to move back up north so I can have a proper holiday season. It’s so depressing it’s still in the high 80s in October.

Texas has officially landed on my list as one of my least favorite places in the States.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Which was your favorite photo?

I’ve been called an entitled white girl on social media and I find that very jarring…

Because if you’ve seen me in real life, you KNOW my donk is wayyyyyy too big and will give me away. 😂

Latinas come in all different shapes and sizes. My mother is Mexican, born and raised. She met my dad in Chicago who is first generation, Italian American.
My dad’s parents were from Italy.

I grew up surrounded by English, Spanish, and Italian. I ate Mexican and Italian food. I was raised in the States and identify as American.

Here’s a thought… before you go accusing people of what race you THINK they should be… shut up and take several seats.

Oh yes. And also STFU while I enjoy baesic American things like PSLs and autumn.

I have nothing to hide and love the cultures that made me who I am today.

The coolest Harry Potter Cafe in Seoul🇰🇷

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea. Follow @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

If you’re looking for something awesome to do this spooky season in Seoul, you have to check out the @943kingscross Cafe in Hongdae.

It’s got 6 floors of fun and you can even eat Hagrid’s cake and turkey legs. They even have the Boar’s Head Pub in the basement.

Tag a Potterhead who would love to go!

AMERICA IS CRAZY FOR THIS! 🇺🇸

[Hi! I’m Gina and I’m a native Chicagoan who lived abroad in Japan and South Korea. Follow @ginabearsblog and I’ll show you how to travel solo in Asia and the USA!]

With the cost of living in the States going up and up, I make sure I save money to go to Korea every year. I get medical check ups and teeth cleaning. South Korea is all about the beauty treatments and I definitely take advantage when I’m over there.

Heck, it’s even cheaper for my dog to get her teeth cleaned and groomed in South Korea!

I lived in Austin and Chicago and the cost of everything in Korea is much cheaper in comparison. Also, the fact I need health insurance or I’m screwed is also another factor.

Medical tourism in South Korea is cost effective and excellent quality… and that’s the hill I’m okay with standing on.

Would you ever consider medical tourism?
