5 Awesome Things to do in Haeundae Beach, Busan, South Korea

October 8, 2022 by RichardLeave a Comment

Haeundae is home to Korea's most iconic beach. It lies on the southeastern side of the peninsula and is a bit off the path. That doesn't' stop millions of locals and tourists from flocking there every year. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants, attractions and sites, but it's hard to know which ones are tourist traps and which are worth your time. You're in luck!

Most Vietnamese dishes are known for their fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, liberal use of herbs and vegetables, and a lightness of touch, with very little oil used in preparation. And they're delicious! Vietnamese cuisine differs throughout the country, with proximity to other countries being relevant. Influences on southern Vietnamese food can be seen from countries such as Cambodia, Malaysia, and the Cham people, while Chinese … [Read more...]

Wicked Clean Fun At Noboribetsu’s “Hell”

August 5, 2022 by Katie Cerezo4 Comments

Go to hell. The phrase has lost its power through overuse. Unless, perhaps the phase "go to hell" was intended not as a threat, but as a travel recommendation. I should have taken the two demon statues directly outside Japan's Noboribetsu station as a warning that the good times were indeed about to end. Instead, I was delighted. Clearly, the colorful demons were proof I was in the right place. I had made it to Hokkaido's Noboribetsu, … [Read more...]

What I Learned from an Ashram

June 30, 2022 by Jeania Kimbrough1 Comment

Roof Yoga Space

First of all, my backpacking, hostel staying, sleeping-on-trains and wild camping days have long been over. This nomadic travel-style, while fun when I was in my college years roaming around Europe and North Africa, has been replaced by something a little easier on my back and fancier in terms of luxury. Nowadays, I am partial to the kind of hotels that come with slippers, deep soaker-tubs, smart technology, and sparkling on arrival. So why would … [Read more...]

A Beautiful Day in Kundasang, Sabah

June 20, 2022 by Teh Chin Liang4 Comments

My worn slippers scuffed against the rock-strewn path, crunching gravel and pebbles underneath the thin sole. The peak of Mount Kinabalu was clearly visible miles ahead of me. The horizon was painted in flaming red as the sun began to penetrate the mist and brighten up the sleepy green valley down below. A brisk morning stroll took me to a war memorial on a hill. Standing at the top of the staircase, I watched the quiet town slowly come to … [Read more...]

A Whirlwind Week in Hanoi, Hoi An, and Da Nang, Vietnam

September 4, 2021 by Jade NicholsonLeave a Comment

Vietnam was a country I was both excited about and scared of. I was afraid of what its citizens would think of me, having read one too many blog posts about American tourists getting cheated out of their pocket change as a time-delayed revenge move for the American War. I should have known better. For the most part, to most of the people with whom we interacted, our nationality didn’t matter. Our American accents didn’t matter. Neither the … [Read more...]
