Seoul > Taipei > Singapore I wasn't sure if I should make a post out of this day, because it was mostly just traveling, but there were a few strange episodes during my journey to Singapore so I figured why not. Hope you enjoy! And look forward to more interesting Singapore posts to come!…
Hello! I am officially back in Korea after my very short but very lovely trip to Singapore. I took roughly 10 million photos while I was there so I'm still sorting through those and starting on my blog posts from the trip. But, I did manage to put together a little video from my time…
February 12th I landed in Incheon airport with my entire life stuffed into two oversized suitcases. Now those suitcases sit pushed into a corner in my utility room holding my no longer wearable winter clothes. The past five months have been both the fastest and the longest of my life.

Day two started off pretty late as we were still recovering from the very late flight over from Korea. One of my friends went to a cafe earlier in the morning and brought us back some coffee and snacks. We ate our little breakfast looking down at the street from the window in our…
