Announcing My Travel Plans for the Rest of 2018!

Lauren, June 13, 2018

Finding a home has been a long process. When I embarked on this open-ended journey back in 2011, I anticipated being away for a year, but secretly dreamed of making it to two. At that time, travel blogging wasn’t a viable career for most, and I made tentative plans for …

The Cost of Travel in Japan: A Detailed Budget Breakdown

Lauren, June 11, 2018

It took me six years to get to Japan. Why? I didn’t think I could afford it. Every time I seriously looked at visiting, I would wince at the high cost of the train passes, read about how the hotels were super-expensive, and then fly to Vietnam instead. Or Taiwan. …

Should You Go to a Hedgehog Cafe? My Experience in Japan

Lauren, June 9, 2018

I can never resist checking out a themed restaurant when I travel. During trips to Taiwan, I visited a hospital-themed restaurant, Hello Kitty-themed cafe, and Barbie-themed restaurant. In South Korea, I checked out both a dog cafe and a cat cafe. In Thailand, I even had lunch at a condom-themed …

Hipster Harajuku: The Coolest Neighbourhood in Tokyo

Lauren, May 23, 2018

There are a handful of neighbourhoods I’ve fallen in love with over my seven years of travel. They’re places that have me feeling at home from the second I arrive, spots I continually crave living in, and areas that are crammed full of cosy cafes, quirky bars, thriving food scenes, …

15 Weird and Wonderful Things to Eat in Japan

Lauren, May 8, 2018

At the end of every trip I take, I like to sit down and take stock of my experiences. As I write this now, I’m beaming from ear to ear. I’ve just completed an epic six-month jaunt through Asia and Oceania and, despite a few hiccups, my brain is overloaded …

April 2018: Travel Summary and Statistics

Lauren, May 4, 2018

My trip to Borneo was one of the worst I’ve ever taken. How did it all go so wrong? I’m not entirely sure. When I left you last, I was tiring of Kota Kinabalu. I had just spent three weeks in the city and while I initially adored everything about …

Stranded in Vava’u While I Slowly Lost My Mind

Lauren, April 24, 2018

I feel awful. As I write this, I’m in Vava’u, Tonga, and I feel exhausted and malnourished and stressed and irritable and depressed. I can’t stop grinding my teeth. Occasionally, I burst into hysterical peals of laughter until I feel as though I’m deteriorating into madness. All I want to …

Hospitalised in Tonga

Lauren, April 16, 2018

One of my greatest fears in life is shitting myself on a plane. What? That’s totally a natural, healthy fear to have. Call it Travelling in the Tropics for Too Long Syndrome because the more time I’ve spent on the road, the more aware I’ve become of what my bowels …

Lauren, April 4, 2018

Travel is a rollercoaster, so after a wonderful January and a not-so-wonderful February, I was delighted when March brought me back to the dizzying highs from the start of 2018. I can’t believe how much I managed to pack into one glorious month! When I left you last, I had …
