HEAT MAKES YOU STUPID🤪

[Hi! I’m Gina and I 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!]

No, really. Science has proven that when temperatures are hotter students constantly score lower on tests.

High temperatures take a toll on our brains making us aggressive, impulsive, and dumb.

A single degree change in temperature can affect the way neurons fire, and in turn, how the brain performs.

I love autumn and can’t wait for my favorite season!

Bukcheon Hanok Village is overrun with tourists.

[Hi! I’m Gina and I 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!]

Residents have been complaining about noisy tourism. Seoul Metropolitan government has issued an order of no tourists in the area after 5pm.

If you want an amazing photo here, get up at the butt crack of dawn otherwise you’ll have to do a @photoshop job.

Instead of fighting with other people to get a photo and enjoy the area, go to @green_mile_coffee.

You’ll get all the Hanok Village vibes without…. 5 million people on top of you.

📍ADDRESS: Seoul Jongno-gu Gahoe-dong 11-49
서울 종로구 북촌로 64 1층,2층,3층(루프탑)
🧭NAVER MAP: https://naver.me/IgJNWHQr
☕️COFFEE COST: 5,000won - 7,000won

WHY YOU SHOULD DRESS UP WHEN YOU TRAVEL.✈️

Coming from a former airline employee. Follow me @ginabearsblog for more travel tips.

1️⃣Better treatment - How you dress says a lot about you. When you dress up at the airport, you get better treatment from the cabin crew and sometimes freebies like drinks and upgrades.
2️⃣Dressing up boosts your self-confidence and makes you feel good.
3️⃣You’re communicating to your fellow passengers you’re kinda awesome!
4️⃣Dressing appropriately helps save space in your luggage.

Rule of thumb… don’t dress in anything that would make you feel like a swamp monster in front of your crush.

As someone who is single, I never know who I might run into. Maybe. Just maybe my future partner notices me because I look pretty and wants to talk to me.

Do you dress up at the airport or are you mostly a sweatpants person?

1. I will not get into arguments - My choice is not a debate. And no, I will not change my mind.
2. I will not ignore that women are mostly responsible for child rearing, working, and maintaining the household.
3. I will not ever protect my peace - Ladies and gents… I struggle very much with anxiety and depression. A quiet house and peace is what I need.
4. I will not be irresponsible - I have a lot of health issues and it SUCKS. Passing that on to another human to suffer along with me is cruel.
5. I will not stop thinking my opinion on how having kids is a choice - And I sure asf hope you’re prepared to be the best parent because that child is yours… FOREVER.
6. Will not pretend I don’t love my child-free life.
7. I will not date someone who wants children. This is a deal breaker for me. Everyone deserves what they want in life and I will not resent someone/have someone resent me because our values weren’t aligned.
8. I will not stop traveling solo. It is a form of self-love and discovery. I need it so I can function.
9. I will not stop triggering people with my opinions, I guess.

HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK THAT EARLY MORNING FLIGHT⬇️

According to me, who used to work for an airline.

[I’m Gina and I 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!]

1️⃣Early morning flights have less chance of getting delayed.
2️⃣Less turbulence!
3️⃣More cabin space.
4️⃣Better chance of making standby. (Trust me, there’s always someone who misses their flight.)
5️⃣Early morning flights are usually cheaper.
6️⃣The plane is cleaner.
7️⃣Flight crews are more attentive.

Do you pay extra for the later flight or prefer the earlier one?
