I love looking at all her pictures and her … [Read more...]
Women who Inspire!
When I started blogging last year I created a post series called "TravelingNatural"after my moniker. It was a way for me to talk to different naturals and learn how they take care of their hair while traveling. I started by interviewing friends and family then asked some natural hair YouTube gurus not even thinking they would say yes! That series was very fun to do and it … [Read more...]

Where to find the Best Black Bean Burgers in South Korea
At my house! I remember when I was in graduate school and sitting in class listening to random chit chatter during break. The topic of the best veggie burgers came up. One of my classmates proclaimed she makes the best black bean burgers at home. I thought to myself that she doesn't even look like she can boil water much less cook a meal...ha ha #meangirl! I don't know why … [Read more...]
Vatos Tacos, Itaewon South Korea
As I said in the first Seoul post, Vatos Tacos needs its own post. This will be short and sweet so that we can focus on the food. 3 points. 1. Its easy to find. Just go to their website. I used the directions from there and had no problems finding it. 2. The service is not that great. I walked in and there was no greeting. The place is crazy small and it was … [Read more...]
Seoul Stealers part 2
I don't know why I thought I would be immune to the staring, pointing, laughing, or the repeated exclamations of "oh chin cha waygook in!" in Seoul. But it was definitely present and I feel more intense than in Ulsan. Maybe it's the fact that there are so many more Koreans living in Seoul and I was traveling solo, but it gets annoying. I use to just nod and smile. But now it … [Read more...]

Seoul stealers!
Monday May 28th was a national holiday in South Korea. It was Buddha's birthday. I don't know how old he turned but lots of birthday love and decorations could be seen all over Ulsan. Since it was a 3-day weekend I took the opportunity to get out of Ulsan! And I visited Seoul. I left my house after 7am on Saturday and was able to catch the 8:00 am bus from Ulsan express bus … [Read more...]
It’s official…I love KPOP…well aLMosT :)
Since April or maybe March, I've been hearing this song everywhere. In the department stores, walking down the street, blaring through peoples headphones when I'm on the bus...everywhere! It was hard not to fall in love with it! But I should preface my story with this tidbit....I don't like KPOP. I'm just not a fan of all the plastic surgery, songs talking about "I'm so … [Read more...]
