Do you dream about moving abroad? YEAH THAT'S ME
The tales of life as a travel blogger
I read a lot of blogs.. I mean, a lot. Every morning I wake up, make coffee and read the latest posts from my favorite bloggers. I use this really handy site called Bloglovin’, which acts as an RSS feed to keep track of all your favorite blogs. I have them send me one compact email every day […]
To ask, or not to ask: that is the solo traveler’s question. Getting decent photos of yourself while traveling is really hard, especially if you travel on your own. Should you get a selfie stick? A tripod? Hire a professional photographer to follow you around all day like a fabulous travel model? I would so do the […]
So the unthinkable just happened… I GOT A JOB! It feels like just yesterday, I was having a quarter-life crisis because at twenty-three years old, I didn’t know where I wanted to live or what I wanted to do with my life. I guess turning a year older does make you wiser because now I’m […]
Welcome to my new series Women of Wanderlust! Here I’ll be interviewing a very selective list of amazing female travelers. The goal is to introduce you to other passionate women who can inspire you to see the world! Next up is Anna from Global Gallivanting. I stumbled on Anna’s blog a few months ago, and was immediately hooked […]
Firstly, I just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who filled out my Reader Survey last week. I was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of responses, and the honest and detailed answers I received. I’m really excited to use this feedback to help improve my blog, and it’s honestly so great […]
This week I want to hear from YOU! There’s a few things I know about you all. You’re 70% female, half of you are from the USA, and you like to find me on Google, Facebook and Pinterest. Other than that, I’m clueless! I want to know who you are, what you like reading, and […]
I’m in a rough place right now. Possibly a quarter life crisis, if that’s even a thing. Sometimes living abroad is hard, and overwhelming. My friends are all starting careers, developing relationships and decorating apartments, and here I am with no career prospects, a master’s degree and $20k USD in debt…. Help me. I’ve always […]
Today it has officially been three years since I published my fist post on Adventures Around Asia. How crazy is that??!! As I spent the evening packing for my trip to Cambodia tomorrow, I thought about how much has changed in the last three years. My life is so completely different now than it was back […]
As this year comes to a close I can’t help but think back on all of the crazy adventures I’ve had. This time last year I was struggling with my teaching placement in the Chinese countryside, wondering if I would abandon my contract half-way through and go back to America. I was lonely, a little […]
Many of us (especially the ladies) have probably heard of Pinterest. I started an account about two years ago, where I mainly used it for online window shopping and designing my fake future apartment. Pinterest can be a great time waster, but when used right, it can also be a huge time saver! In the […]
