To be completely honest, visiting Busan, South Korea wasn’t even on my radar until I watched the 2016 zombie horror movie Train to Busan (if you haven’t watched it yet, you should). Now taking a bullet train from Seoul to Busan is on my bucket list! South Korea’s second largest city is famous for its…

Looking to visit the most popular vacation destination for South Koreans? Jeju Island, located off the southern most tip of the country, is the largest island in South Korea. This volcanic island is known for its beautiful beaches, lush landscapes, and UNESCO heritage sites. You may also hear it referred to as the “Island of…

Finished exploring Seoul, but still have some time to kill before heading to Jeju or Busan? 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.

I have a general rule: stick to only one cup of coffee a day (for my heart and nervous system’s sake). Since I was only in Portland, Maine for a short time, I made an exception so I could try as many coffee shops as I could in 48 hours. Portland’s coffee scene is on…

I think one of the easiest ways to learn about a city is to dive into their food scene. In Portland, Maine, the bar and restaurant scene feels kind of like two worlds colliding – from cafes that feel a bit hipster-y to bars that you could see dock workers frequenting after work. This means…

When planning a Portland, Maine itinerary, there are so many options it can be hard to narrow things down! The city is known for it’s restaurant and bar scene, downtown shopping area, historic cobblestone streets in Old Port, and activities along the waterfront. Don’t get it confused with it’s famous West Coast counterpart in Oregon,…

When people think about visiting Lancaster County, wineries are generally not on anyone’s radar. Most plan their trip around experiencing Pennsylvania Dutch Country – Lancaster is home to the oldest Amish communities in the United States! Lancaster’s wine region is much newer in comparison, with most wineries in the area opening within the last 50…
