Beijing – Day 4
June 25, 2024 Today was one of the most amazing days of my trip. This morning when I woke up, I was in a small city near Beijing on my own. After waking up, I met two other travelers at my hostel. After some getting to know each other, we were all deciding what to…

Beijing Day 3
June 24, 2024 Today was pretty chill! I started off the day a bit late since yesterday was a little much. Called some family and all that and the lady who runs this hostel showed me around the market area. She also bought me ice cream! 🙂 After the little walk I went back to…

Beijing Day 2
June 23, 2024 Today was so cool. It started off with me waking up way earlier than I was supposed to. I couldn’t sleep very well for some reason. After I got ready and stuff, the Irish and Persian guys and I all had waffles and fruit for breakfast. The lady who runs the hostel…

Beijing Day 1
June 22, 2024 Okay. I finally have good enough WIFI and I’m not too tired. I will catch up on the earlier dates when I can but today was so good I can’t help but write while it’s fresh. So this morning was actually quite sad. It started off with saying bye to my mom’s…

Singapore Day 3
This was my first day where I was actually solo. I had no William or Gaurav to show me around, but luckily they recommended things for me to do. I started my day off, per Gaurav’s recommendation, by going to the East Coast! I took a grab (their form of an uber) to a bike…

Singapore – Day 1
May 28th, 2024 Okay technically this is a new day, but I leave off from landing at the Singapore Airport. Unfortunately I was so worried about checking in on time, I didn’t explore the airport. I hope to do that when I leave. I think as soon as I check out of my hostel, I…

Colorado-ish – Day 6
May 27, 2024 Today was a pretty sad day. I woke up at 4:30am to take the bus to the airport. I almost MISSED the bus because I was waiting at the train station, conveniently named the same as the bus station. Fortunately the bus driver saw me and waited for me to board. After…

Colorado – Day 5
May 26, 2024 Today we finally got to hike! Yay! We went to Mt. Santinas and I think it was about a 4 mile hike, so not too bad. The hike up was super light, but downwards was steep and we had to scramble. It was super fun! The viewpoint was also super pretty too.…

Colorado – Day 4
May 25, 2024 Inspired by the ping-pong restaurant, today Andrew and I went to a Pickle Ball Bar & Grill! To be honest, up until now, this trip had not been going well. Our expectations was that we would be in the mountains finding new trails each day. However, this was just not realistic given…
