Travel Advice

Travel is essential to my life. There’s so much out there to see…

This whole blog started because of traveling. I wanted my parents to know that I was okay while I was abroad in Japan, so I wrote everyday and started gathering my random observations/comments about a new culture.

What I learned after returning is that everything is a part of a culture, and life is a continuous journey of learning. Hopefully my travels don’t just cause you envy, but give you some advice for when you’re abroad.
