TIPS ON DOG TRAVEL🐶🐾✈️

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

1. Pack the essentials - I always have a clip on food and water bowl attached to Honey’s carrier. In addition, I also recommend bringing your pet’s essential medication in your carryon.

2. Introduce your dog to their carrier - The first time I flew with Honey was from South Korea to Texas. I got her used to her carrier two months before we flew.

3. Make sure your dog is microchipped - Every dog parent’s worst nightmare is losing their baby. Make sure your fur baby is protected.

4. Research pet friendly hotels! My favorites are @marriotthotels @marriottbonvoy @virginhotels

5. Always call to reserve your pet’s space - Airlines have restrictions on how many pets are allowed on a flight.

Have you traveled with your pet before?

Here’s what you need to know about self publishing.

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

I’ve always wanted to be an author and I’m finally publishing my first ever book on Amazon about Solo Female Travel in South Korea.

I’m learning how to market and do the best for my book. Follow along for the journey and things I learn on the way!

1️⃣Who is your audience? What are their pain points? For me, my audience wants to know if South Korea is a safe destination and how to travel there like a local.
2️⃣A damn good author bio. You need to show your credibility and expertise! For example, I am an English major who lived abroad in South Korea almost 6 years. I speak Korean, I traveled extensively throughout the country, and I’m not some random tourist who went on holiday for a week.
3️⃣Books ARE ALWAYS judged by the cover. You better have a freaking awesome design that captivates viewers.
4️⃣Hire that professional proof-reader. No matter how good we may be at writing, we always make mistakes. Having another eye helps you make your book better.
5️⃣KDP has an awesome pre-order feature where you can hype up your book for 3 months before it drops! Use it to maximize sales!

Things no one tells you about being an expat.✈️

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

1️⃣Life abroad usually has an expiration date unless you marry someone from that country.
2️⃣Life abroad isn’t a vacation. You’re still working to maintain a visa or the cost of living.
3️⃣FOMO- It’s a real thing when you wish you could be there for your family and friends.
4️⃣You will always be an outsider. You weren’t born and raised there and people will let you know.
5️⃣Learning a new language is HARD. And you have to put in a lot of effort to speak and understand.
6️⃣You’re in a really weird place. You’re not 100% a local but you’re not a tourist either.
7️⃣Culture shock… the gift that keeps on giving.
8️⃣Reverse culture shock is just as bad when you miss things about your host country.

Have you ever lived abroad? What are your experiences?
