Born to Travel.
At a little hostel in Chinatown of Singapore, I met Jenny. She lived and taught English in Korea that year and started traveling around Asia. I was on a short break from school for two weeks. We celebrated Chinese New Year together, got over a not-very-fun hangover, spent some time in a small beach, [...] Read more »
One day, I got a tweet from Lauren, that she’s coming to Seoul, Korea. Just like that, we met. For a week while she was staying and working in Seoul, we worked together and shared a lot of stories about our lives. We explored different cafes in Hongdae area, and I took her to a [...] Read more »
We are the ‘New kids on the Block’, by her words. Over Yonderlust and Runaway Juno started nearly at the same time, and we’ve known each other fairly beginning of our blogging career. She’s a very good friend and I know a lot of you are agreeing with me. She’s intelligent, open and honest, [...] Read more »
Camber Carpenter, CC, as I call her, and I met in a small hostel in Taipei. One rainy day, I was hanging out at the hostel couch when four girls walked into the door. It was a particularly full day for the little hostel. All of us played ‘Apple to Apple’ that night which I [...] Read more »
Two days in Burlington, Vermont was a delight. Gray kindly invited me to stay with her and introduced this small and charming Vermont town. I liked Vermont over all, but Burlington has something that made me want to stay longer. Working at a cafe, having dinner and beer at a micro brewpub, walking down [...] Read more »

And B) This great piece is written by my good friend and a wicked travel writer Katie Tibbetts (also known as Breakaway Katie). Seoul, the place I spent more than half of my life, is [...] Read more »

Everyone knows her on twitter. She’s one of the nicest and brightest tweep I know. And I [...] Read more »
Next three months of trip to America is really important for me. This is not just a short break, it will be a life changing experience because it’s time to think about future and seize the day at the same time. Complicated, I know. Like I said in the last post, ‘where’ did not [...] Read more »
This week’s Sister’s city goes to New York City, NY. Brought to you by one and only, the lovely Leslie Koch, the one who’s behind Downtown Traveler. Leslie and I go way back. I got to know her through @TravelingTed. At first she was a fellow blogger of one of my good friend. As time [...] Read more »
I met Bryony in Seoul last summer with her husband Paul. They were on their way to spend holiday in England, where Bry is from, and had few days of layover in Seoul. Some time ago we got to know each other on twitter (like always) and she became a friend of mine and [...] Read more »
