Travel and Food

South Korea Dreaming

December 1, 2014 Leave a Comment

Let’s be frank. Part of the fun of traveling is getting away from your normal and leaving some people behind (Sorry, guys). And yet, the other fun in traveling is meeting up with those friends you haven’t seen in days, months, and years!

And this is what draws me to South Korea.

I mean the culture sounds awesome: polite, delicious food, low crime rate, etc.

But all of this would be made a million times better by getting to see my friends from the lovely blog of The Wayfaring Hearth.

How About You?

Have you been to Korea? What is a must-see?

Catching Sight of Atlanta’s Autumn

November 13, 2014 Leave a Comment

I spent a week outside of Atlanta, Georgia, for a conference and retreat from my normal life a couple of weeks ago. The onset of fall and the golden glory of the world greeted me every morning.

A part of me is convinced that they sky was created just for me.

But I can’t help but wonder why I was not given wings.

I know that this might not be how you might usually think of Atlanta, Georgia, but that’s okay. This was my experience of fall this year. I went on a hunt with my camera in hand to catch the glimpses that I so often miss in day to day life.

I’m not a fabulous photographer, but it’s fun to capture a shot that I find inspiring.

What About You?

Have you caught glimpses of fall in your city or are you already in the midst of winter? Tell me in the comments below!

Dream Accomplished: Vienna

October 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

When people inevitably ask where I want to travel, my standard answer is, “Everywhere—I want to see the world.”

After a while, I began to think I should actually have some sort of goal list to help me actually go places. Vienna was not on that short list; actually, I can’t remember what cities were because I’ve misplaced that list.

But within the past year, I’ve been to Vienna, Austria, twice. One time with my mother for a week and a half, and the second time I went alone for three months.

Vienna, or Wein as the locals call it, surprised me with its warmth, history, culture, and so much more. It’s shocking that I didn’t swallow any flies for the many times that my mouth hung open in awe over this ancient and yet modern city.

The blend of people allowed me to fit into the pulse of the city, and the sheer beauty available to find created soul songs within me that I didn’t even know existed.

If Vienna isn’t on your travel list, it’s time to erase that top entry and replace it with Vienna. In my opinion, you won’t regret it.

What About You?

Is there a city that you didn’t originally want to visit, but then you did and you’re glad for it? Tell me in the comments so I can add it to my new travel list!
