Since we are moving to Ireland in a few weeks, we jumped at the chance to get one last trip in for Lunar New Year before we leave Asia. Flights to Kyoto weren’t expensive, so we traveled to Japan for 5 days and braved the cold weather. Mimaru Kyoto Shinmachi Sanjo This apartment hotel was…

Favorite Activities in Singapore for Visitors
The end of this year is filled with visitors, and it’s been fun getting to revisit some neighborhoods and activities that we haven’t done in a while! Here are our favorite things to do and places to eat at with our friends and family when they come to Singapore.
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…
Travel Guide to Canggu, Bali
Finally, 3 years after our first trip to Bali, we were able to go back with some friends who were visiting from the U.S. in August. Instead of staying in Seminyak again, we opted to stay in Canggu based on reviews online and recommendations from friends. I thoroughly enjoyed this more laid-back part of Bali…
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…
Long weekend in Boracay, Philippines
In my first trimester, morning sickness haze, I completely forgot to post about our incredible weekend in Boracay, Philippines that happened before my parents’ visit last November! I’m not sure how I forgot about it because it was such a relaxing trip with the most gorgeous beach we’ve ever visited. Leading up to traveling to…
Where To Take Visitors Around Singapore
Since we moved to Singapore last April, we’ve been lucky enough to have a handful of friends and family come visit us. While Singapore can feel like a small island, we now have some pretty great go-to spots that we always enjoy showing people. Most of these can be seen as “touristy”, but honestly, Singapore…
Visiting Dong Ha, Vietnam – Part 2
The second day with our tour guide in Dong Ha started with a visit to the Hien Luong Bridge which crosses over the Ben Hai River. The Geneva Agreements on Vietnam signed in 1954 divided Vietnam into North and South with the 17th Parallel where the Ben Hai River runs through the central province of…
Visiting Dong Ha, Vietnam – Part 1
It’s been a few months since my last post about the first part of our Vietnam trip, and since then a lot of the world has changed with COVID-19! I figured what better time than while staying at home to continue recapping our travels before all travel was halted. If you read my last post,…
Visiting Hanoi, Vietnam
November was a crazy month, starting with my parents visiting from the US! I was very excited to show them around Singapore but the real highlight was traveling around Vietnam with them for a week. I had already been to Vietnam a handful of years ago, but pushed this trip because my Dad hasn’t gone…
