Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is a city that packs so many things to do. From beautiful temples and palaces to street markets and nightlife, Seoul is a place that definitely deserves a couple of days to make it full justice. So if all you’ve got is a one-day layover in Seoul, then you…
The Harbin Ice & Snow Festival is the biggest winter festival in the world. It is a magical and colorful event where the largest ice sculptures in the world are built and showcased to millions of visitors every year. And every time I want to go, I end up choking because it’s too cold. But…
So after a few good (or not so good) period of time with your current employer in China, you have decided to look for greener pastures elsewhere in the country, and you found it. But you are still under contract with your current employer. So now what? The following is the information on what you…
WOW!!! It will sound clichè as all shit, but 2019 really just flew by. And I simply cannot just believe that the time has come to write yet another one of these posts revealing my travel plans for the next year. So with that in mind, let’s get stuck in.
Where the hell did 2019 go??? If you were to ask me, it wasn’t all that long ago that I was sitting down at home planning my first trip of the year. The excitement of getting back on the road combined with the stress of visiting a new country still feels fresh in my mind.…
Shenyang was the first city I visited as a tourist after I moved to China a bit over two years ago. Back then my Chinese was at 0%, which made my communicating, understanding, and moving around the city quite complicated. To make matters worst, there weren’t many travel blogs out there about Shenyang, so I…
Regrets. Everyone has them. Regretting things we did or said is part of life, just like death and taxes. Of the 70+ years we’re going to spend on this world, we are bound to get some things wrong. And that’s just fine. Regrets have helped me avoid repeating the same mistakes again. While sometimes that…
North Korea, also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a hermit kingdom located in the east part of Asia, and it is one of the most walled-off countries in the world. The DPRK is full of secrecy. Visitors are only allowed into the country as part of government approved tours, in…
Eating at restaurants and trying out new foods is nowhere near the top of my list of favorite things to do when I travel to other countries. I know how that sounds. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy having a good meal just like any other person on this planet. But the idea of being…
It was January 15, 2017. I was sitting down, facing my gate, waiting for my flight from Montreal to Peru. I remember being excited and scared both at the same time. For the first time in my life, I did not have much of a plan about my foreseeable future. My original plan was to…
Ever since I moved to China a bit over two years ago, I have come to realize many things about my host country and some of the things Chinese people do. Seeing it all from a foreigner’s perspective, many of the things many Chinese people do are odd at best, and hilarious at worst. On…
Those who really know me know that I’m a craaaaazy animal lover. There is nothing I love more than seeing wild animals in their natural habitats. It was only a few years ago that I booked my first African Safari in Tanzania, and I absolutely loved the experience. So when I came to China, one…
If you have travelled to China and wanted to get off the beaten path, chances are that you may have wanted to see China’s national animal: Panda bears. Pandas are simply the absolute cutest and cuddliest animals on the face of this earth, and there is no better place to see them than in the…
Sylhet was without a shadow of a doubt the most exciting time I had during my two weeks spent in Bangladesh. Not only was I finally able to explore around on my very own, but Sylhet had the absolute best sceneries I got to see in all of Bangladesh. Not only that, but there were…
After a few days of little to nothing happening in Moulvibazar, I decided to leave and headed to the northern part of Sylhet to do some much needed solo exploring. I didn’t know it then, but I was only a few hours away from inadvertently crossing the Bangladesh border into India.
