Seoul: T-Money or Climate Card? My Vote Goes 100% To Climate Card
When it comes to getting around Seoul efficiently, you’ll see two names pop up over and over again: T-Money and the Climate Card. On paper, both sound useful. In reality, they serve very different types of trips. After using them firsthand, I have a clear favorite for Seoul. Before my trip, everything I saw online screamed “Seoul travel hack: get a T-Money card”! That advice isn’t wrong, but it’s incomplete. What no one talked about was the Climate Card, a newer option that offers unlimited rides on Seoul buses and subways....
Seoul For First Timers: 15 Must Do’s On Your Very First Trip!
Seoul is a sensory overload of a city. I mean that in a VERY good way. One minute you’re sipping an iced Americano in a minimalist café that looks like it belongs in a design magazine, the next you’re grilling KBBQ outdoors with a table full of banchan, and five minutes later you’re walking past a centuries-old hanok with glass skyscrapers towering right behind it. That stark contrast is kinda Seoul’s whole thing. On your first trip, expect cute coffee shops on nearly every block (yes, Koreans really do drink iced Americanos...
RIMOWA Original Vs. RIMOWA Essential: Which Is Right For You?
If you travel even a little, you’ve probably noticed it: RIMOWA suitcases are everywhere. Airports, train stations, hotel lobbies… their ribbed aluminum shell can be spotted effortlessly. It’s basically become a travel status symbol. Maybe you swore you didn’t need one… until you kept seeing them roll by and started thinking, “Okay but why does everyone have this exact suitcase? What am I missing out on?” Once you get past the sticker shock and decide you’re finally going to buy one for yourself, the real question kicks in: which RIMOWA do...
RIMOWA Essential Cabin Review: Is It Worth The Money?
Hello all! I finally gave in to the RIMOWA hype. I didn’t jump on the RIMOWA train right away. I knew I wanted something durable, but I also wanted a suitcase with a little personality. The Original Line (aka the aluminum one)? Iconic, yes — but also a little too serious for me, and way too easy to mix up with half the other bags circling baggage claim. That’s what initially pulled me toward the RIMOWA Essential Cabin. Same clean RIMOWA look, but lighter, more playful, and available in colors that...
RIMOWA vs. Tumi: Which Luggage Brand Is Better?
Whether you’re a frequent flyer, an aspiring traveler, or just someone who wants to ensure you buy a suitcase that will likely never need replacing, Tumi and RIMOWA luggage sets are some of the best to consider. These companies are known for their innovative luggage designs and high-quality goods, including hard aluminum suitcases, polycarbonate shell suitcases, and more. What you’ll notice is that these luggage brands tend to cost way more than other brands mid-tier brands (Away, July or Monos Travel, for example), where suitcase costs start at $250 USD. Why is...
My Rugged Jungle Safari Adventure at Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary
Chhavi and I recently visited Kumbhalgarh. This is what she has to say about our jeep safari in Kumbhalgarh! Over to Chhavi. Last week, I embarked on an unforgettable jungle safari in Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary with my mother. While this was not my first safari, nothing truly prepares you for Kumbhalgarh until you’re actually inside that jeep, surrounded by the wild. The safari starts with a steep descent into the jungle which is the ultimate definition of a bumpy road, or so I thought! When we first arrived at the safari’s starting...
Vero ka Math- A Temple in Kumbhalgarh Rajasthan
Vero ka Math is a temple devoted to Lord Shiva and Lord Parashuram. It is about 10 km away from Kumbhalgarh in Rajasthan. It is also the origin point of Banas River. I visited it as part of what is popular on tourist itinerary, the village safari. The route leading to the math is scenic. When we reached there, it was almost empty, there were not more than five people including my daughter, me and the priest of the temple! The temple is devoted to Lord Shvia and his idol...
The Wonderful Village Safari in Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan
Chhavi and I visited Kumbhalgarh in Rajasthan as we are fans of off beat places. One of the best things we did at Kumbhalgarh was the open jeep Village Safari. It gives you a wonderful feel of the place. In November, the weather was perfect for traveling in an open jeep. If you wish, you can do this in a regular car too. We had a great driver and we thoroughly enjoyed our day! We were in good mood as we entered the open jeep at our hotel, the wonderful Radisson...
A wellness and Yoga retreat in Bali
Visiting Bali for a Wellness and Yoga Retreat Spa at Hotel Tugu Bali Though my travel blog has often been compared to Eat, Pray, Love, since 2009 when it was launched, I never visited Bali until November 2023 when I went for about 16 days. My plan was to visit Bali for a wellness and Yoga retreat. I didn’t join an organized Bali wellness retreat or a Bali Yoga retreat, I created my own by staying in two places: first, a private pool villa in Penestanan, near Ubud, and then the...
