I had 3 Weeks in Japan, so why did I spend 4 days in Niigata which is a relatively unpopular tourist destination while completely skipping popular cities like Hiroshima, Kobe, & Osaka? Because I had the incredible opportunity to have my friend be my own personal tour guide and stay in her home there. Read… Continue reading My Day in Murakami, Japan

As part of my 3 Weeks in South Korea I had the most amazing WWOOFing experience ever. OK, so admittedly this was only my 2nd experience with WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, or Willing Workers on Organic Farms).

The labyrinth like stairs, the hidden enclosures, the walls full of mini vials of fairy dust*… This bar is my first introduction into the magical,… Continue reading Bangkok Bar Review: The Iron Fairies
