Hello hello! Its been a full week since I've arrived in SE Asia and between guesthouses, hostels, street food, learning to ride a motorbike, and temple watching, it's been pretty busy and epic! I can't express enough how much fun I am having while learning to deal with the challenges that comes with running my blog and traveling on a serious budget.

With that said, check out my first 3 days [...]

Lonely or Alone? How I Really Feel When I Travel Solo
I was recently asked during a blog interview if I ever feel lonely or alone, when traveling solo. It's usually the one question I always get asked the most: "Aren't you lonely, don't you feel scared traveling alone? I could never do that!" Difference between the two: lonely without company. Feeling completely separated from others. alone being solo or physically separate from others. Now, let's be real. I am human. Of course I feel both, lonely and alone at times. On the occasion I can feel lonely. Thats normal. It would be nice to share my traveling moments with someone. When I travel solo I meet tons of people, [...]

(Like listen buddy, I've already come to terms with the fact that people think I am nuts because I quit a paying job, but I am happy so don't judge! Ha!) They [...]
The Hills of San Francisco & Two Places You Have To See
The city of hills. You could walk everywhere in San Francisco (SF), but people usually avoid the hills. The further you walk away from the water the higher those hills get. Lets just say after going the wrong way for 10 minutes and walking up 4 hills, I realized I was avoiding hills at all costs during my visit to SF. A weekend trip it was. A 'quickie', I call them. I stayed with mates (friends), so it helped on my budget. I arrived to SF on Thursday morning. I went right to Mission. I took the BART into SF. Cheapest and one of the [...]
