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…
When I think of Bali, I imagine Ubud. Full of palm trees, endless green rice terraces, and little shops selling local artwork. But before I tell you about it, a disclaimer: purchasing a TEFL course through the link here will result in us receiving compensation. We appreciate you trusting our opinion on the products that…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
