sitting in the same place for hours on end can SUCK, especially on a loud plane with hundreds off other people! so here are some tips and tricks i've learned to make long haul flights sucks less.

what do you do when you take a random day trip to a whole nother country? sometimes you actually look up things to do, and other times you wander around like a fool. this is the time when i did the latter. cardiff, i owe you a do-over. i hope you wonder seekers take my experience and have some kind of itinerary prepared.

how many people who study abroad actually want to "study?" not when you could be in a new country every weekend, go clubbing every night, and "have the time of your life!" no two study abroad programs are the same but for this episode, i give you my experience. how much you study will depend on how much you value your grades vs your experiences abroad. nonetheless, there is always time to enjoy yourself when abroad.

just like traveling to any other city, using the tube can be different from using the trains anywhere else! this episode features some important information about the hours, various train lines, etiquette and what not for the tube. paired with this episode are some short stories about my time at stonehenge and bath as well as suffering through the heatwave of july 2019. citymapper: https://citymapper.com/?lang=en here are some links you can use to learn more about the tube: https://youtu.be/v876ZB75Jmc , https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/tube/ , https://tfl.gov.uk/maps/track/tube

in this episode i give my insight on whether or not we should be taking photos while traveling or just enjoy the moment as they come. how can we cherish our adventures? how can we hold onto the memories so that they do not fade as fast? travel journals, photo album, diaries, and scrapbooks.

anyone else who likes to stop and smell the flowers? well there's so many different floral things you can do in london, and sometimes for the price of free.

clubbing is already a very fun experience, given the wild array of music that can be played, the various subcultures catered to with their elaborate themese and quirks, and the interesting characters of people you can meet! but imagine this and 10 times as much fun when you add in the eccentric choreographies, songs, and celebrities of korean pop and korean hip hop to the mix! for this episode, my best friend ginger is back to recount one of our favorite memories together: the night we spent 7 hours in a kpop club. expect lots of laughter as we joke about hot men and the random dance breaks we experienced on the craziest night of our lives. join us for the journey and get ready for some random music playing for the club ~vibe~, including: KAI - Mmmh, Sik-k - WATER, PENOMECO - COCO BOTTLE, BTS - Ddaeng, BTS - UGH!, DJ ROOTS - Baby, Jay Park - Mommae, DPR LIVE - Laputa, and Hyolyn - Dally

one of the best parts about traveling is the opportunity to try something new. but this can be a daunting task when you're limited by time and money on a short vacation! this episode has three sections: how to find fun things to do when abroad, how to make an easy itinerary, and a fun experience i discovered using my tips!
