Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would hike to Everest Base Camp…and honestly, I’m not sure I ever thought I would want to. However, last summer this idea popped into my head and since I was already on this side of the world, I figured it’s now or never. I hopped … More Everest Base Camp
Once my contract in South Korea was finished, I hopped on a plane for Hanoi, Vietnam. As I was in the cab going to my airbnb, I was in awe of the amount of green I saw. Coming from Korea, I was used to seeing buildings and concrete with views of nature in the far … More Wandering Around Hanoi
These past few months have been very busy with school ending, winter vacation, and now packing to leave South Korea. Before my time was up, we had 10 days off for winter vacation.

I’ve been in Korea for over 5 months now and everyday I learn something new and realize how different Korean can be from the US. Some differences are silly like there being literally 5 coffee shops on 1 block, yet not a single one of them will open before 10am. Can you imagine what would … More Korean Differences
Now that I’ve been in Korea for over 4 months, I’ve decided to make a “Korea Bucket List” of places that I want to see.
