Contributed by Molly B. The first thing you should know about me is this: I’m terrified of flying. I hate airplanes, airports, security, relinquishing my beloved suitcase and its contents to the vast unknown of the undercarriage. I hate flying so much that I requested a Xanax prescription from my doctor for my upcoming flights…

Ubud: Our Balinese Paradise

Blyss Came to Korea!
A few months back, I was on Facetime with my friend Blyss. She told me she was itching to travel. So she asked me when I'd be able to have a visitor and within the week had booked a flight to Korea. After months of waiting, she finally arrived at the end of January. On…
My Travel Journal
I got the idea for a travel journal when I was in Thailand. I met a girl in Bangkok who kept a travel journal. She carried it with her on her trips and took time to add to the journal while she was traveling. I absolutely loved the idea, especially since I'm not a fan…

Why You Should Travel Alone in Your 20’s
Every time I say I'm traveling somewhere new, there's always at least one person who says I hope you're not going alone. I usually just ignore the question and decide to tell them I went alone after I get back. Because I learned very early on that if I wait for people to go with…
Traveling in Vietnam: Hanoi
In the beginning of May, I realized I only had a short window of time that I could use my remaining vacation days. And I hadn't planned a single thing. I had thought about taking a trip to Hanoi, maybe Chiang Mai or Bangkok, but I wasn't so sure. So I started frantically googling different…
Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom
Springtime is in full bloom here in Korea, and that means that the cherry blossoms are, too. And in true Korean fashion, there is a festival to celebrate it. Knowing that the beauty of these flowers is fleeting, my friends and I decided to attend the first day of the Cherry Blossom Festival. The festival…
Exploring Jinju
As most of you know, Jared is not the first friend who has come to visit me in Jinju. When Hannah came, I was still new to Korea and didn't quite know what to do or where to go. But while I've gotten to know my city pretty well, there are still a lot of…
