Another tip: If you plan on going to Aoshima or Aya Castle on a weekend or holiday, you can buy a 1,000 yen Holiday Pass at the tourist center. It saves you a ton on bus fares!

I didn't need to go island hopping every day or fill every hour with activities. I just wanted somewhere I could work, slow down, eat good food, and enjoy being somewhere beautiful.

Thai food being delicious is only half of why we love it so much... The other half is just as important: the presentation.

And as a Southern Thai and a kanom jeen lover, I can tell you one thing: If we find a really good kanom jeen, there is NO way we’re stopping at just one plate. We’re definitely ordering another one.

Patagonia turned out to be everything I had imagined and more. There were so many moments on that trip where I thought, “I can’t believe I’m here right now.”

Maybe this is part of why I love Taiwan. I already kept finding reasons to go back, and somehow it kept giving me a few extra ones.

I dipped into the water for a bit, always keeping a watchful eye on the enormous turtles gliding past me. They kept just as intense of an eye on me, checking to see if I had any seaweed to offer them.

I do not need every hour planned, but having one structured, interactive activity gives the day an anchor. A workshop, class, walking tour, or group activity gives me somewhere to be, something to participate in, and an easy way to meet people without forcing it.

So much history beautifully preserved, incredible nature, spotless streets, beautiful architecture, cosy bars and such a strong alternative/counterculture scene.

There was always another view of the lake around the next part of the road, so even the stretches between the actual sights felt like part of the day rather than just getting from one place to another.

I don’t understand it fully but somehow, there have been few travel experiences for me that have felt more “at home” than sitting in a warm Polish restaurant during wintertime slurping on hot soup, dipping thick bread into it, and eating doughy baked pierogi while washing it all down with a cold Polish beer.

As a local from Nakhon Si Thammarat, I’ve always known how much Phrathat means to the people here. Now, seeing it recognized by UNESCO feels like a reminder that its cultural and historical value is not only important to us, but meaningful to the wider world as well.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to travel internationally for a while so I decided to buy the van, fix it up, and do a little bit of traveling in it for fun. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Van Halen.

… “don’t touch the stray animals” has proven to be the most wrong advice I ever received about traveling. Pet them all and love every moment of it.

I love Coron because of the beaches, the island hopping, and places like Twin Lagoon and Kayangan Lake, but I think what made it one of my favorite trips was being able to experience all of those things with my sister.
