Top 10 Must-do’s while in Luang Prabang, Laos

A 3D/2N journey down one of the world’s most untamed waterways, the almighty Mekong River. Situated between Thailand and Laos, I cruised down the Mekong on a slow boat going no more than 8mph. Little did I know that I would be completely blown away by what my eyes were about to see.

It's def different here. But, it's a simple life. A simple life in paradise. It's the DREAM. What more do you need?…

So there we were walking through the open field as elephants kept passing by to say hello. They seemed to really enjoy the rain. We just watched as they interacted with each other. It was so nice to see them play around in the mud; the freedom to be the elephants that they are...

When I was deciding where to stay in Chiang Mai, it was kind of hard to decide. Old quarter covers a lot of space so I didn’t really know where the most economically friendly area to stay in was. I always like to stay within walking distance of street food and the “it spot” of where I would be spending most of my time; otherwise, I’d be...

Sup y’all! It’s been half a year since I deleted Instagram from my life. Yep, I’m still here. Still alive! Just been living more “in the moment” rather than “capturing moments”. Not that I’m not taking any pictures at all; I’m just significantly less obsessed with it than I was before. I’ve found that I am able to...

How did I not know a thing about the Khmer Rouge before going to Cambodia in 2017? How did I not know that millions of Cambodians were tortured and killed during a communist genocide just 40 years ago?!

Before I continue sharing more of my journey through SE Asia, I wanted to share some pics from my most recent travels: Portland, OR. The PNW (Pacific Northwest for those of you who don't know) is beautifulllll in the summer time!

I went on a landscape tour where we saw a weasel coffee farm, silk worm factory, elephant waterfall, strawberry garden, a temple on top of a mountain, and even saw how rice wine is made. I went to the night market, I went to Maze bar, I walked nearly...

At first glance, I’d say the white dunes are better. The red sand dunes one had a lot more tourists here. But when you walk deeper into the dunes, past where all the tourists stop, it’s beautiful! The untouched sand with the lighting of the sunset in the ripples, freaking gorg...

You want to know the secret to happiness? Knowing that you already have everything you need. So many people wish to have proper health care, an opportunity for education, a roof over their head in the cold winter nights, AC during the hot summer nights, two legs, two arms, both parents active in their lives. It’s the simple things.

Whenever I go somewhere new, I want to experience that place like a local. I want to cook with them, I want to eat what they eat, I want to know what it's like to wake up to the sound of roosters on a typical Wednesday morning. Let me show you the Mama Mu Experience.

I would have to take multiple local buses through the remote of mountains northern Vietnam where nearly nobody spoke english. In that moment I knew it was going to be an adventure. Fuck it. I had a week. Bring it!

Ninh Binh is in Northern Vietnam, about two hours south of Hanoi. Tall, plunging limestone cliffs bulging out of the ground like natural skyscrapers. So, is it worth it to pay a visit?

After spending the next three hours in the Uber, it hit me. It wasn’t about being physically lost, I was emotionally lost. I just felt like I’ve lost sight of the important things in life. Or that I put too much time and energy into the unimportant things. I needed guidance. Redirection. Purpose.

I recently wrote a blog post about all the amazing reasons why traveling solo is the best thing ever. But for every good thing, there are also not-so-good things...

Built in the 12th century by the Khmer Empire, Angkor Wat is the largest religious complex in the world. My visit to this massive historical site was nothing short of...

Before my first ever solo trip, I was nervous. I mean, being in a foreign country, by myself, let alone being a female. A solo female traveler somewhere I've never been to. Sounds scary. Yeah, I thought so too. But actually, it's...

Oh, Instagram. Where do I even begin with you? It’s an on/off love/hate thing. You’ve connected me with some of my bestests of friends, yet you’ve manage to rob me of living the very life that I display. You’re probably the most...

Oh Hoi An, such a beautiful little town. Quaint, romantic, full of genuine charm & authentic Vietnamese hospitality. Hoi an is in central Vietnam; a cute little town with tons of activities to enjoy. You can...

A small island off the northeast coast of Vietnam lies Cat Ba, the less touristy side of Ha Long Bay. This Bay is full of sky high karst’s that hold dramatic backdrops for your selfie of the day. With an elevation of 3,280 feet high and a mere 30 minute hike to the top, Ngu Lam Peak is the...

The most incredible underwater world I ever laid my eyes on lie in the sea between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida! Here's why.

Just off the northwest coast of Lombok Indonesia lies three teeny tiny islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, & Gili Air. So which one should you visit? I heard a lot of he said she said but I wanted to know the real difference between all of them so I decided to visited all three!

Ahhhh, Bali. One of the beautiful tropical islands that make up Indonesia. Full of rich culture, a lit nightlife, and gorgeous scenery all over the damn place. So much to see in so little time. Here are my top six must-do's while in Bali!

As I began planning my travels, I knew I wanted to do three things: grow as a person, explore the unknown, and give back to the world. I knew I wanted to volunteer; I just didn’t know what or where. So how did I decide?

I booked a private room at K-heights via the AirBNB app for $30/night. The location was not too far from tons of shops, restaurants, and bars.

I booked a private room at BKNY via AirBNB app for $41/night. It was a bit pricey, a lot more than I’d rather spend, but I happened to come during a busy time and 84% of accommodations in El Nido seemed to have been booked up so this was...

I booked a private room at Just Inn via the AirBNB app for $23/night. A nice, clean inn just outside of the main streets of El Nido. The location was not the closest; however, it was just a quick 3-minute tricycle ride to the main street.

Manila to Puerto Princesa to El Nido to Coron, now it’s time to go back to Manila. But how? A quick 15-hour overnight ship ride with 2GO Travel!

Most people who visit Palawan go to El Nido. Why not? It’s beautiful! But I found Coron to be more charismatic and far less commercialized. Lucky for you, Coron is just a boat ride away!
