It was scary!
So end of last year without a thought I booked ahead for two trips!
I thought I was losing my mind. Like where would the money come from? Yet, sis decided to Yolo instead. You only live once.
Truth is when we have the resources to do something we should just do it. Without a thought! Maybe just a little.
When I was a teenager I was into Taiwanese dramas and boybands. #MeteorGarden , #F4, #S.H.E, #Farenheit & #5566. Rushed home to watch the dramas and then came in the K- obsession. I started watching K-Dramas and being intrigued by the love stories. So this year, I made my teenage likes a reality in a way.
I travelled to South Korea & Taiwan.
Coming from Sunny #singapore both countries were chilling and the weather was absolutely a blast to be in.
Never would I have imagined being able to travel to these 2 countries one day.
My childhood dream was the American dream and in 2016 I travelled to LA & Vegas. So let's just say I lived out my teenage dream too.
Being an adult does not mean we forget what we enjoyed when we were young. Being childish and being Child-like are two different things.
In Korea, I got to eat amazing food & make my own perfume at a place called Greedy Scent. I even got to wear a Hanbeok, the Korean traditional outfit. Wearing it on palace grounds, felt like a K-drama moment except there was no namja ( Man) in the story. The people that I met were thoughtful and kind. An restaurant owner uncle put a blanket around me, when he observed I was cold. Like in the mostly K-drama fatherly way. People reached out to help with luggages & directions. It was nice.
It was quite a beautiful feel.
In Taiwan, we visited the Yangmingshan National park, I hiked up the Qixingshan mountain 1000m high 120 meters shy of the peak. Smelled sulphur from the volcanoe. Danced to the sound of music on a hill, near buffaloes. Did a Bollywood number among the flowers in the Fengchia Flower Market.
Things I would never do back home.
I feel like the littlest most silliest things,can make the most beautiful memories.
Fengchia Flower Market
We visited Jiufen and had the best desert and also had traditional tea overseeing a beautiful natural scenery.
I adore nature.
It was beautiful.
We also visited the Guomei Wetlands to catch the sunset. I got to walk on water and talk to baby crabs, they did not respond. Just saying.
We also visited a Memorial Hall and it was filled with people and had a guard changing ceremony.
In these two trips I learnt that who you travel with really matters. You travel with the right people you really have fun. You travel with people who do not know how to have fun, they steal your joy as well. Choose your travel buddies wisely!
Go travel the world it's our playground that God created for us to indulge in and enjoy.
Stay happy ya'lls!
