Vacation...Are You There? It's Me Kaylee Jesus be a vacation away from Korea. Away from the mini-gremlins who while cute, are still quite an exhausting handful. Away from the language/communication fails that I continue to have with my colleagues. Away from the cultural clashes. Away from the incessant stares of people who have never seen a foreigner before.Away from having to categorize myself as a "foreigner" instead of a person. Away from the oppressive humidity of Korean summer.

What I Ate In...Malaysia - Farsickness If my last post didn’t have you scouring the internet for flights to Malaysia, this one might give you the extra push toward financial irresponsibility that you need. Because it’s about food. Delicious Malaysian food that, if you’re anything like me, you might not be too familiar with. Sometimes though, not knowing anything about a country’s food is a good thing. You have very little expectation and can dive right in to discovering spices and flavor combinations that you’ve never experienced. How to Pick a Good Hostel Good hostels are always hard to come by. Places can be very hit or miss and usually, the reason a hostel is good has more to do with the people staying there than the physical place. I’ve stayed in dumps where I had fun in because of the people there and amazing hostels that bored me to death. Hosteling is, after all, about the people you meet.
The best of Malaysia travel Travelers passing through Southeast Asia often describe Malaysia as the perfect balance between tourist-heavy Thailand to the north and clean, orderly Singapore to the south.

Cameron Highlands: Malaysia's enduring 'Little England' Taking in the best of this 330,000-square-kilometer country in your average two-week visit is impossible.

Sapa, Vietnam - Travel Guide, Info & Bookings – Lonely Planet Established as a hill station by the French in 1922, Sapa is the one place in the northwest where tourism is booming. It’s now firmly on the European and North American package tour circuit, and well-equipped trekkers toting lightweight walking sticks and wearing technical all-weather gear are a common sight around town. The town is orientated to make the most of the spectacular views emerging on clear days. The town overlooks a plunging valley of cascading rice terraces, with mountains towering above on all sides. Views of this epic scenery are often subdued by thick mist rolling across the peaks, but even if it’s cloudy, Sapa is still a fascinating destination, especially when local hill-tribe people fill the town with colour. The town’s French colonial villas fell into disrepair during successive wars with the French, Americans and Chinese, but following the advent of tourism, Sapa has experienced a renaissance.

Hanoi's French Quarter If you need a break from the chaos of Old Quarter, wander down to Hanoi’s French Quarter, where wide open streets, majestic buildings and high-end hotels, restaurants and shops await. The centrepiece of Hanoi’s French Quarter. Hanoi’s French Quarter lies to the southeast of Hoan Kiem lake. In the late 19th century, when the French occupied Hanoi, they demolished many of the old Vietnamese buildings and replaced them with imposing French-style villas. As well as the architecture the area is characterised by wide tree-lined streets which, while still busy with traffic, are far easier to navigate than the narrow alleyways of Old Quarter. The area is also home to some of Hanoi’s fanciest restaurants and hotels.
14 Ways to Be Prepared for Anything While Traveling When I was a kid, I was a boy scout. I made it pretty far too but then I became a teenager, decided it was “lame” and quit. As a boy scout, I learned how to tie knots, camp outdoors, be a good citizen, play with knives, and got to have cool sleepovers. One of the most important things you learn as a Boy Scout is their motto to always “be prepared” and as I’ve grown up and traveled the world, I’ve found this to also be a travel truism. You never know what might happen on the road.
