Bustling Bangkok -The World In One City

From novice gap year student, holiday abroad, or the experienced jet-setting world traveler; whoever you are or whenever you arrive in Bangkok you will always be surprised by the magnitude of adventure all encompassed in one city. Bangkok’s Khaosan Road, is a backpacker’s hotspot for starting out your Thailand adventures—or get lost in the night lights and never ending party. In Bangkok you can book flights, get on travel excursions and find just about any other type of adventure. Bangkok could be described as a sensory overload of sights, smells, tastes, feelings, and hearing. If it were possible to cram the entire world into one location and size it down you would find yourself in Bangkok. You can get a rush from sitting with the locals at a street stall chomping on some Pad Thai noodles or hot spicy pork and broth to luxurious high end rooftop clubs and hotels along the river front. Regardless, Bangkok is a phenomenal experience of multi cultural diversification.

Chinese New Year, China Town Bangkok Thailand

Wow! what and experience to be in China Town Bangkok. I was reading a little about what has transpire during the past couple years but no reading prepared me for the sensory overload. The last time I had such a sensory overload was in India. Perhaps it was so intense due to the mass amounts of people and fireworks, street police, and scents and scenes.

From home to Rome…

Vatican Rome Italy
Rome Italy

My first day in Italy

Here is a little status update, after a few adjustments from the airport to my destination I have ma

de it safely. For the next two nights I’ll be staying in a guest house in the Vatican City.

I am pretty excited just for that in itself. Maybe I’ve watched a few too many movies with Tom Hanks?

Vatican Rome Italy

Before I even dropped my bags, pumped to be here in Italy.

The last time I was in Rome I was eighteen years old, so roughly ten years ago, I came on my high school senior trip and loved it. After it was all done I had the intentions of returning one day, I just wasn’t sure

when. So here I am now,  walking around the Vatican City soaking it all in. I’m going to out and search for some epic Italian food. Who’s in to join?
