Hello

Back in 2021 I was a lost little undergraduate, tired of mindless studying. All I knew for certain was my future included travel – specifically, travelling across the globe to South Korea. After two years of customs and culture, I’m ready to share my experience with you. This blog will give insight into making the right travel decisions and provide my own take on the expat lifestyle. So don’t be shy and deul-eowa my chingu. Read below to learn a little more about me.

The UK

This one might be cheating because it’s my home country, but I’m whacking it on here anyway.

France

I’ve been to France a number of times (and not only Disneyland). My goal is to get to the top of the Eiffle Tower.

Germany

Germany might be my favourite country that I’ve visited with it’s picturesque landscape and fun food.

Italy

I’ll always remember my gondola trip through Venice with fondness. This is definitely a country I plan to return to.

Switzerland

While I may have visited Switzerland on a school trip, I enjoyed boat trips and visiting the UN here.

Spain

I visited Spain in the winter time and was shocked that I could still sit on the beach. A great place to go for good food and good weather.

South Korea

Having lived in South Korea for two years, I will always keep this country in my heart. I love the culture, food, natural beauty and people.

Thailand

From a spa retreat to the centre of Bangkok, I enjoyed experiencing all sides of this wonderful country with my dearest friends.

Vietnam

Celebrating Lunar New Year in Vietnam was unforgettable. I loved journeying to both cities and rural locations on my trip here.

United Arab Emirates

Every building was magnificent in this desert landscape, and the Burj Khalifa left me breathless.

Japan

Look – I couldn’t help but visit Universal Studios while I was in Japan. When I wasn’t running around theme parks, I was exploring Osaka and Kyoto.

South Africa

Stunning weather, stunning views and stunning wine. I loved exploring Cape Town and the attractions it had to offer.

Cyprus

A beautiful country filled with glorious beaches and breathtaking sunsets. Come here for great nightlife and fun watersparks.

Philippines

If you’re like me and surfing is your passion, try the Philippines. Hop between islands and experience every great about this country.

Indonesia

I couldn’t resist the allure of Bali. This was an adventure holiday with everything from horse riding to fire dances.
