    Is Brunei Worth Visiting? A Complete Travel Guide to Southeast Asia’s Hidden Nation

    / February 8, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Brunei may not be the first place that comes to mind when planning a trip, and after spending two days here, I can see why. While it has its moments—pristine rainforests, impressive mosques, and a glimpse into a unique culture—it doesn’t quite deliver that must-visit spark. Still, if you find yourself here, there are a few highlights worth checking out.…

But if you’re willing to brave the elements, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most spectacular winter experiences on the planet: the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival. Every year, sculptors from all over the world descend on this northeastern Chinese city to carve massive ice palaces, intricate sculptures, and…

    Mauritania? Where is that? You’re going there for vacation? Isn’t it dangerous? These were just a few of the questions my friends asked when I told them I was heading to Mauritania. Now, I’ll admit, Mauritania might seem like a random vacation spot. But as someone with the goal of visiting every country on earth, it’s all on my bucket…

    Ayutthaya : A Great Day Trip From Bangkok

    / October 30, 2024 / No Comments

    I had 48 hours before my flight back to Beijing and wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. I did some research and came across Ayutthaya, the Kingdom of Siam’s (modern day Thailand) ancient capital. Ayutthaya was established in 1350 and flourished for over 400 years. It became a bustling trade hub known for its stunning temples and…

    Ultimate Guide: How to Travel to Bhutan – Tips, Costs, and Must-See Attractions

    I first heard of Bhutan 11 years ago while researching the happiest countries on Earth. Bhutan intrigued me—a small kingdom in the middle of the Himalayas with limited diplomatic relations with the outside world. Even more impressive is Bhutan’s commitment to sustainability; it is the only carbon-negative country in the world and the only country to reject the notion of…

    Best Day Trip From Stockholm

    / September 17, 2024 / No Comments

    Stockholm is the city that 99% of travelers visit when coming to Sweden, and for good reason: it has the most to see and do. However, Stockholm can get old quickly; I felt that three days was more than enough to see everything it has to offer. With a few extra days remaining, I wanted to explore more of Sweden.…

I took the earliest train (SJ train) from Stockholm and departed at 6:16 AM for the 5.5. To make the most…

    Norway was the second stop on my Nordic adventure, and I had high expectations coming in. Americans tend to romanticize Scandinavia and hold it in high regard compared to the rest of the world. As a child, I was led to believe that Norway was some sort of utopia—a place where crime and poverty didn’t exist and social benefits uplifted…
