Around the World
I spend hours before each trip researching, planning, and asking for tips -- so that I can maximize my time, money, and experiential palette. Since I work full-time as a clinical pharmacist, I know that Paid Time Off (PTO) is so important to maximize, and I hope these travel blogs/tips help make that easier for you.
In travels, I emphasize VALUE so I am not THAT bougie, but also not that budget in my itineraries. Though, I will go out of my way and will pay a little more for a unique experience, a good speakeasy, and a pretty landscape shot.
I love to adventure and try new things, but with calculated risk! 2022/2023 have been huge travel years for me and have really helped me grow as a person and as a traveler. I've tackled rappelling, paragliding, and solo traveling in the last 2 years... and hope that I can inspire you to do the same! Moving across the country on my ownfor a few years (and then back on my own), along with the COVID shutdown, really instilled in me that I can really do the things I set my mind/heart to.
I met my current boyfriend while solo traveling in Japan 2023, and we are doing an international long distance relationship. He's South American, so our recent trips to Costa Rica and Argentina/Patagonia are filled with a unique spin on safety/experience/value from a South American.
Up next, I am hoping to catch the Northern Lights in Europe Fall/Winter 2023, return to my motherland (Vietnam) in Spring 2024, and explore more local trips on the weekends!
