This is going to be a different sort of post. Because sometimes it's 6:00am and you've been up since 4:00am thanks to jet lag and suddenly you just really want to take some pictures and write a blog post. So here we are. I've been wanting to do something about k-beauty for a while now…
When I officially found out that I was going to be moving to Daejeon, Korea the first thing I did was try to search about fun places to hang out, cool coffee shops, and good restaurants. However, as Daejeon is much smaller than Seoul and there are significantly fewer international people living here, the amount…
Gyejoksan Red Clay Trail // 계족산 황톳길 In your search for interesting things to do in Daejeon you may very well run into this. The Gyejoksan Red Clay Trail. This trail is located out on the edge of the city and is notable because it is said that walking barefoot on the red clay…
고소한식물원 "Botanical Garden Cafe" is just my guess at the English name but I think it's probably close to that. This cafe is located on the other side of Daejeon, close to Hannam University. I stumbled across this place on instagram but had I not, I don't think there's anyway I would have ever…

It involved a bus full of teachers, soju, and the US national anthem. But I digress. Let me start from the beginning. So on occasion…
I'm back with another café post. I may have opened a can of worms starting to do these kind of posts, what with the sheer number of cafés I visit. But then again, what with the sheer number of cafés I visit it's a shame if I don't try to document some of them. Plus English information on…
This is going to be a different sort of post. Something came over me this morning suddenly I really wanted take some pictures. I realized I hadn't shot anything since my sister and I were in Kyoto. Which is a crying shame. So this morning, after a bit of a late start, I met a friend…

Fall in Korea was brief but lovely. I come from a state where fall means that the weather might dip below 80 degrees and we can comfortably wear jeans outside. So proper fall, where the leaves change and the weather starts to take a nosedive towards freezing, was completely new for me. It admittedly didn't…
9 months in Korea. That's dangerously close to both double digits and also unbelievably close to a year that I've been here. The leaves have changed and in the past few days the weather has taken a turn for the "absolutely freezing" so I've been trying to navigate that as best I can. This…
