Things I Did in Seoul on Vacation
In 2019, my two girlfriends and I planned a trip to Melbourne, but one of them got sick and couldn’t join. We were so excited this year to finally realize our girl’s trip plans with 5 days in Seoul, Korea! We had all been to Seoul before, so our main goals of the trip were…

5 Days in Kolkata, India
Right after my parents left to travel back to the US last November, we turned around and packed for India. The reason for our trip was a wedding of Ryan’s coworker, and we jumped on the opportunity to travel to a new country! The bride’s family is Rajasthani and the groom’s is Bengali, so they…
