Travel tends to be difficult, tricky, or stressful for a lot of people. But being neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, obsessive-compulsive, and more) can add a whole slew off additional travel challenges! Sometimes, my particular flavor of neuro-spicy can be a positive thing in my life. I’m great at a lot of things like pattern recognition,…

Luckily for you, the South Korean capital makes a great home base for exploring more of the northern part of the country. There are so many easy day trips to choose from! Below I’ve pulled together 5 super popular…

I want to be fully transparent upfront about how this is going to be a little different than my usual posts. I’ve recently hit an unexpectedly long stretch at home that has me traveling vicariously through family and friends. So for the first time, I’m writing about somewhere I haven’t actually been yet myself but…
