2024 Starbucks Japan’s Sakura Merch is Out Now!
I've always wanted to buy the yearly limited edition Starbucks Japan's Sakura merch, but I'm usually never in Japan around that time. I didn't think my recent trip to Hokkaido would overlap either, but Starbucks Japan luckily release some of their Sakura products early! I couldn't believe that I would get to bring some of these goodies home. On top of that, Starbucks Japan is going to release two full collections. The first release was
Top 5 Things to Do in Taipei For First-Time Visitors
These are my ultimate top 5 things to do in Taipei especially if you're a first-time visitor. I just came back from Taipei a couple months ago and thought I would write a blog post about this since traveling to a new country is always overwhelming. I've been to Taipei before about 8 years ago, but I fell sick and was unable to do anything except pretty much sleep. So, this time around, it really
Is Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Worth Visiting? I Think Not…
I've visited Arashiyama Bamboo Forest almost a decade ago, but for some reason, I couldn't remember much of it so I thought I would visit it again on my most recent trip to Japan. Especially, since I rented a fancy new camera for the first time so I definitely wanted to take as many pictures of Kyoto as I possibly could. Seeing that Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is one of the most popular destinations in Kyoto,
The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Fushimi Inari Shrine
Fushimi Inari Shrine probably has to be the most famous and most photographed spot in all of Kyoto, if not Japan. I haven’t been back to Kyoto in probably 8 years and honestly, it wasn't even on my radar until some friends of mine invited me to Japan. Even then, I was planning on just traveling around smaller cities, but then I noticed that my timing lined up too perfectly with the momiji (red maple
2024 Goyard Price List (USA vs. Singapore)
Since I was recently in Singapore, I decided to do a 2024 Singapore Goyard Price List since it's always good to compare and I feel like there's not a lot of information out there. With that being said, there's a good reason why there's not that much information out there and it's because you don't get as good of a deal as you would at the Paris Goyard or even the Japan Goyard nowadays. Either
myVEGAS Rewards: Hotel Comp Calendars (Jan 2024-June 2024)
The myVEGAS Rewards hotel comp calendars for January 2024 through June 2024 are here! Once again, we get a set of 6 months rather than the usual 4 months. This is great since we get to plan into the busy summer months, but unfortunately, there aren't a lot of great comps to be had. I didn't find one single Friday or Saturday date even for the lower end hotels like Luxor and Excalibur. These deals
2023-24 Goyard Price List (USA vs. Japan)
Hi Everyone! Today I'm bringing you an updated 2023-24 Japan Goyard Price List as there is new information that differs from my 2022 post. I somehow made it back to Japan this year and finally bought my first Goyard bag! Granted I didn't really have a choice on what bag I got, but I still finally got one at least. Since my visit last year, I noticed travel to Japan has really been ramping up
The 2023 Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii
I know the year is almost over but here's the 2023 refresh on my Ultimate Guide to Luxury Shopping in Hawaii! If you didn't see on my Instagram stories, I asked all of you what stores you wanted to see and I literally spent all Labor Day weekend walking around to all the shops for you. Most of the stores that have the special Hawaii pricing stayed the same but there were some new and
My Crazy Horrible Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor
From time to time, I think back to my horrible hot air balloon ride in Luxor and it's enough to get me all riled up again. I even contemplated not even writing about this because it makes me so upset, but I thought if it could help at least one person, then it's definitely worth writing about. I want to preface this blog post by saying that the actual hot air balloon ride was not
Is Abu Simbel Worth Visiting on a Short Vacation?
The question of, "is Abu Simbel worth visiting," came up a lot during my planning research. It's not that the temples weren't worthy enough of a visit, but it was more of the trek and time to get to these temples since my vacation was pretty short. These temples aren't anywhere close to any major city so you really have to decide wisely if Abu Simbel is worth visiting or not. I only had 6
