Travel food photography serial expat blog. And then I quit my job to travel. May 21, 2015. After being abroad for the past seven years, I have some surprisingly big news. You may have figured it out from the title of this post already, BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT IT, OKAY? It’s so big, I actually emailed my parents about it a few weeks ago. I love my family but we’re not close — they find out most things via this blog. They usually know about as much as you guys do. That’s how important this is. But it tur...

http://expatedna.com/2015/06/16/worth-the-wait-highlights-from-japan
Travel food photography serial expat blog. Worth the wait: Highlights from Japan. June 16, 2015. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to visit Japan. And for the longest time, I’ve told myself to wait. Want to do Japan on a shoestring, I did not want to go as a backpacker; I wanted to wait until I felt it was the “right time” — whenever that was and whatever that meant. Maybe a part of me felt that Japan felt so. SPOTTING GEISHAS IN KYOTO. There were so many women out in kimonos — I even overheard Chi...

http://www.accordingtozascha.com/2015/06/why-new-york-didnt-impress-me
Currently in: Hanoi, Vietnam. June 15, 2015. Why New York Didn’t Impress Me. At least not at first …. The first time I went to New York City I was 14 years old and it was my first real trip abroad. Of course I have been abroad when I was a kid, but it’s not something I remember at all. All I know about it, is what my mum has told me. So going to New York was such a big deal and I have the fondest memories from that trip. It was a present from my mum and we had the best time ever. Seeing the queue at cust...
