Solo in South Korea
South Korea has become a hotspot for many foreigners to visit and even permanently stay. As the world became more globalized and S. Korea ousted from the shadows, people took notice and visited this bold, honest, and creative culture, which has molded Korea to be the vibrant community and near-perfect host for foreigners that it is today. Traveling to South Korea is one of the best choices anyone can make and below I've compiled a list of places to go to and things to do in S.Korea.

Kickin' it in Korea
I don't remember the moment I became obsessed with South Korea. Maybe it was the first time I went to Korean BBQ, in my hometown and had the most delicious plate of sticky rice and tender seasoned pork.

After The Year We've Had, It's Time to Get a Little Lost. Top Story - December 2020.
It saddens me when people say they could never travel alone. The word "never" implies that there is no possibility, and I always wonder why that is. Why not even consider it?

Re-Discovering Disney World
When I was about 9 years old my parents planned a surprise trip to Disney World. I remember playing a board game with my mom, grandfather, and younger sister, when my grandfather accidentally said, "We should take this with us." I didn't catch the mistake at the moment, but I would remember this little slip up later in the day when mom finally told us what was going on. She had already packed our bags but asked us to double-check that she had packed everything we would want to wear. I thought, 'No wonder I haven't been able to find my favorite clothes lately.'

Enjoy the Free Gifts Life Has to Offer
I Never Appreciated It As I Should Nature is the most beautiful and relaxing way to destress, and it is free! Too often we take life for granted. Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates it. I used to be one of those people. When my husband and I got married, we rented an apartment in a condo at the beach in Puerto Rico. Back then, I did not think it was a big deal. Puerto Rico is surrounded by beautiful beaches, which are easily accessible from anywhere on the island. But other than to dip our feet in the water every few months, we did nothing else at the beach and we lived there for a year.

Time for this Cherokee Woman to Visit the Sun
After the year I've survived, a solo road trip is just what I need to reinvent myself, for myself. 2021, it is ok to show me why it all had to happen. But first, we're heading to Nantahala National Forest in Bryson City, North Carolina to do some hiking, and spend some time listening to the sun.

A Girl and her Bug and the Open Road
They all thought I was nuts! A single woman driving across the country by herself in her little VW Bug. But I saw it as the adventure of a lifetime! I'm no dummy, I took precautions: visible NRA stickers on my windows; planning all my driving during daylight hours so I wouldn't arrive anywhere after dark; a dangerous pair of fencing pliers under my seat; and a prayer for safety on the road before I left each day.

A Trip of a Lifetime
When I was a kid, my family watched the movie ‘Balto’. ‘Balto’ is a children’s movie about the dog sled team that pushed through a blizzard to deliver antitoxin to diphtheria-stricken Nome, Alaska.

Where Should You Travel To After the Pandemic? {QUIZ}
Aaaaaaah, vacations. Remember when people relished time off, no work, and staying away from friends and family? In March, I thought quarantining was going to be like a vacation. Only two or three weeks, and the virus would be gone forever and we could go back to normalcy!

The Unheard World of South America
So how are your travel plans going for this year so far? I'm pretty sure I already know your answer without even thinking about it. Let's all face it, we all hate being at home right now and we would all do anything to hop on a flight tomorrow and escape to a place that's not...well home. I'm 90% confident that you wish you were on your holiday from two years ago whether that's in Spain, Italy, Turkey, the US, or even Mexico. Don't worry I feel your pain as well. This year I was planning to go to the Greek island of Zakynthos with two of my best friends. But clearly, that didn't happen, so we were planning on taking a trip there next year summer. However, I took a different approach to my travel destinations over the past three months. I've been watching plenty of travel documentaries and series that capture some of the world's most exquisite and remote regions that are unknown to most people. So I've been asking myself this question "Is there more to travel than swimming by the pool and drinking cocktails underneath a palm tree?".

Dreaming of Germany
Once it is safe again to go out and enough money has been saved up, I want to plan a trip to the beautiful alps of Germany and also explore the wondrous cities. I also want to go to all the cafes, restaurants, ice cream parlors, and museums there, as well as travel to the parks and gardens there. I want to travel abroad and visit what was formerly known as East and West Germany, walk along the cobblestone streets, and look at all the lovely buildings.

Walking Through the Woods is Good for Your Health
Last weekend I made a very long walk through the woods in the neighborhood, with my husband and with my daughters. Also, last week I went to walk too with my husband a lot, every night before going to bed. I had such a lovely time walking through the woods in my neighborhood.
