Temples, ruins and breath-taking views. This is what Angkor Wat in Siem Reap provides plus much more from such a small place. This past Chinese New Year we took a trip to visit this gorgeous UNESCO site. I was so happy because this is a place I have dreamed of visiting for a while. We …
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say “elephants”? Maybe it’s a figure, or a pillow case you have seen? Maybe it’s a picture from online? Possibly an image of people riding them in Asia? Many people visit South East Asia every month in hopes of riding elephants. They have …

We took a trip to Yehliu to visit the Geo Park. It was a chilly and wet day, but it did not stop us nor the thousands of tourists that went. Though crowded, the park is nice and spread out with many areas for resting along the way. I do recommend taking walking shoes because …
Dragon boat festival has come and gone and with it means the wonderfully awaited 4 day holiday that comes with it. This year Yenni and I went to the east side of the island. I am so glad we did. Upon our arrival we were exhausted. It was a long journey from the doors of …
Note- not my armpits! So this might gross a few of your out. I am not sure why it will maybe because culture and society has told women for years that it is more feminine to shave the natural hair on your body. I have stopped shaving my arm pits (I still shave them when …
