Yes I know! I write about my travel life and rarely about product reviews. As you know I've have been back in America now and of course I am finding new things to write about :) But let me just say that no one is paying me to do this mess. I just needed to share what I've been wasting my money on since I returned from Asia :) Out of obvious boredom and frivolous spending I … [Read more...]
Paleo Diet
I love to follow 2 types of people on instagram: 1). Foodies and 2). Fitness freaks :) And I've noticed that a ton of the fitness buffs I follow are raving about their Paleo lifestyles. After doing some research on this "diet" or lifestyle change I realized that its also referred to the "caveman diet". You can do research on the diet by just googling it. Right now a lady by … [Read more...]
Gyllenhaal Fever!
I have a slight obsession with Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm actually not sure when it started but I adore him, his acting ability and his eyes *swoons*. On Sunday night I ventured out to the movies with my sister and her friends. We decided to see Resident Evil in 3D. Now I haven't been to the movies in America in years. I think the last movie I saw was...actually I don't even … [Read more...]
Fatty cakes
Since I have been back in the U.S. for the past few days my mouth has been on an eating RAMPAGE! I can't stop eating EVERYTHING !!! Especially cheese, which was grossly expensive in South Korea. To top it off my workout regimen went off track when I headed to Thailand for 2 weeks. Ever since then I have been a lazy bum. My big sister has been teasing me about my … [Read more...]
To speak or not to speak ?
Lately I have been pondering about my short stint in Viet Nam (I know I was just there like last week lol). I keep trying to figure out what I could have done to make my time there more enjoyable (yes I know I still need to write about what happened there...soon I promise). They only aspect of my trip that could have changed the experience was my language acquisition. Granted … [Read more...]
Travel Break…sorta :)
Saigon: around the city
My initial reasons for coming to Viet Nam were to find a new work contract and tour around a bit. I set up some interviews before I left Korea and went interviewing on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday I got a job offer for probably the most promising job. I was really happy about that. So basically it only took a day to land a job ( after emailing my resume and contacting … [Read more...]

We of course did a tour of the produce and meat sections and purchased items for our class. I ate some breakfast (noodles) before meeting up with the group. Here is a look at some photos from the market. condiments for your … [Read more...]
Saigon Cooking School
If you've been reading up on my travels for awhile you certainly aren't surprised that I joined a cooking class in Ho Chi Minh City! The Saigon Cooking School class was really small and consisted of me ( the Jamaican American), an older couple from France, and a young woman from Costa Rica. I love it because it was so small and intimate. I had a really great time at the … [Read more...]
Women who inspire: Learning Languages while traveling!
In April of this year I signed up for a free Korean language course held at city hall in Ulsan. The book for the class was the expense of the student. But this was OK with me since it turned out to be a really great study book! In this same class I met a young woman who exuded a bubbly confidence for language learning that was very infectious. I found out from her that … [Read more...]
