Myanmar is like a goldmine for photographers. With it’s countless pagodas, stupas, and temples, accented by the always passing red-robed monks. There’s so much to see though, and if you only have a limited amount of time, you need to do it correctly! For me, I only had an extra week in between trips, so I decided to look on TourRadar to see if any of...
If you want to experience Dia de los Muertos in 2020 (or “Day of the Dead), Guadalajara, Mexico is definitely the place to do it! I’ve been trying to make it to Mexico for three years to participate in the festivities, and after finally getting to this year, I’d highly recommend it! In this post I’ll go over everything you could possibly need...
Only have one day in London but want to experience all the trendiest things to do? I’m talking quirky twists on typical staples like High Tea, and neighborhood hangouts only a local would know about. There’s been so many times when I only have had one day in London, and ended up doing the basic tourist things only. Well NOT THIS TIME! This time I did some...
Has your wanderlust been fueled for the best things to see in Scotland lately? Have you been daydreaming about the green cliffs, charming flower-framed storefronts, and Goldendoodle-looking Highland cows you’ve been seeing on social media? Or maybe it’s the sexy characters on the Scotland-based show Outlander… Whatever your reason, it’s time to start...
You’re welcome in advance for this Seychelles travel guide! I’s everything I WISH I could have read and known before I went! If I knew what I’m about to tell you, I would have spent more days on La Digue for sure. I also would have planned my activity logistics better! I spent way more time on the main island of Mahé, and also driving around it than...
Doing a Vancouver to Banff road trip had been high on my bucket list for years ever since I first saw those stunning photos of Lake Louise. (Be sure to check out my camera gear suggestions if you want to be sure you capture the amazing lake colors!) Of course, back then I had no idea that the stunning Gatorade-blue lake was called Louise, or that there were several...
Mauritius is a beautiful island off the east coast of southern Africa that definitely needs to be on your bucketlist! I chose to visit it as part of my 2019 bucketlist quest to see the World’s best, and wasn’t disappointed! The scenery is similar to a mini-Hawaii, with lush mountains and a few waterfalls, plus endless clear blue beaches.The people are friendly...
Taipei had been on my “To-Go List” for a really long time, and I’m so glad I finally went! I’d heard nothing but great things from people, between the amazing food at the night markets, to the unique cultural towns on the outskirts! I only had a couple of days in Taipei because I was squeezing it in before heading back to the US from the Philippines (slight detour)...
If you’re looking for a true hidden gem and bucketlist destination, use my Samoa Islands key travel information to book this trip! Not to be confused with American Samoa which is just next door, independent Samoa is not Westernized, which allows it to retain its cultural charm. Similar in appearance to Hawaii, yet lacking the heavy touristic presence, Samoa...
If you’re looking for an exotic vacation destination that’s way more epic than the usual choices, check out Rarotonga in the Cook Islands! The Cook Islands don’t get as much publicity as they should in the U.S., and in my opinion it’s because the New Zealander’s and Australians like to keep it their own holiday secret! That’s...
