The next morning we woke up as early as we could manage and hopped on a bus towards Fushimi Inari-taisha, which if you've ever seen pictures of Kyoto, may be what you've seen. When we arrived it was as crowded as I expected it would be, but compared to places like Asakusa in Tokyo that I've visited,…
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…
24 Hours in Kyoto We arrived in Osaka at about 10:25am running on Loterria burgers and roughly three hours sleep from the night before. To use the word, "exhausted" would be an understatement. I felt like a zombie. And we felt even more like zombies after the hour and a half long bus ride from…
A while back I made a post called "Streets of Japan: Tokyo," which you can check out HERE if you'd like. Taking picture of streets while I travel and Japan are two things that I happen to love, and so these posts are always fun for me. Last weekend my sister and I went on…
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…
I finally got this little video put together from my trip to Hong Kong a few weeks ago. Hong Kong is so unlike any other place I've visited so I had a really good time photographing it and taking these little video clips here and there. Anyway, hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by!…
When I arrived in Hong Kong I didn't have much by the way of expectations. I was mostly just excited to finally see my sister after 8 months. But apart from that, I didn't research too much about what to see in the city. So when my friend suggested doing Lantau Island one day, I…
The next stop on our first day in Hong Kong was the Chi Lin Nunnery. Situated in what feels like a very random place next to a shopping mall in the middle of the city, the nunnery is as peaceful as it is beautiful. It's cool to be able to see…
I arrived in Hong Kong on a Saturday night and, after hurrying to get through security, finally got to hug my sister after 7 months apart. In some ways it has felt like 7 months because I miss my family so much. But in other ways, like how easily we fell back into step with…

Evening in Naksan Park 낙산공원 Friday night, after a very long day at work, I headed up to Seoul to see a friend and get out of Daejeon for a bit. That night we got some drinks with her friends from university where I was proud to understand about 20% of the conversation going…
