Southeast Asia Travel Guide: Wardrobe
What should you wear in Southeast Asia? Well, obviously it depends on where exactly you're going, when you'll be there, and what you'll be doing.

Summer Travels
Phew, it's been quite awhile since my last post! I really am sorry about that, but I also don't want to spend too much time apologizing because sometimes life is busy, and you have a buttload of things to do before finishing for the semester (100's of assignments to grade, 60+ hours spent on a … Continue reading Summer Travels
