On our third day in HCMC we booked a tour with out hotel out to the Chu Chi Tunnels to get an idea of what it was like for the soldiers during the Vietnam war, from both the American and the Vietnamese perspectives. It was beyond powerful. They’ve definitely made it into a tourist spectacle […]
It was around 1:00p when we began our Vietnam journey. We left San Diego in a rental car and headed up to Los Angeles to catch our flight leaving out of Tom Bradley International Airport, and by we I mean my boyfriend, two of our dearest friends (also a couple), and myself. We knew traffic […]
The best travel advice I have for anyone going abroad for the first time is to be as prepared as possible. It’s as simple as that. Knowing where you need to be, when you need to be there will save you endless stress while navigating abroad. You should always keep track of your bookings and […]
We’re going back to Southeast Asia, this time Vietnam! We’ll have 14 days, from start to finish, to see as much of the country as we can while still maintaining a rather leisurely pace. In those 14 days we will see 5 areas of Vietnam and stay in 4 different cities. This time around, we […]

One of the main reasons that I wanted to come to Ubud while we’re vacationing in Bali is because of the Sacred Monkey Forest. I had heard tales from friends and other travelers that it’s an amazing sight to see. Aside from monkeys running around all over the place, the grounds and temples were supposed […]
We arrived in Bali at the Denpasar airport shortly after midnight on the 26th. After nearly 3o hours of traveling and a commuter stop in Jakarta we finally made it. We were able to quickly grab our checked bags and got a taxi quickly too. When we got in the taxi, the driver was friendly […]
I’m sure it’s pretty clear that I love to travel, I mean I do write a travel blog so that’s kind of mandatory but there are definitely some things about traveling that drive me bonkers.

Ahhh…finally here. After nearly 27 hours of nonstop travel from door to door we have finally made it to Jakarta.
