I don’t have a ton to say about Singapore because it was overall a great experience. This is by far the safest place I have felt I’ve traveled to. I felt completely comfortable walking around alone at night and exploring, though as a side note I was staying more towards the touristy things which tend […]

My original plan had been to arrive in Luang Prabang at 6:00am, my favorite time to arrive as it would be early morning during daylight with plenty of time to wander around and find a place to sleep before the night. Just like all of the other transportation in Laos, that was not quite true

Traveling to Thailand had always been on my bucket list after hearing my Uncle speak of his time there years ago. I was able to find an internship that was based in Ao Nang of the Krabi province. There are a lot of events that happened in my weeks there but I’m going to touch
