Hi, lemonbabes 🍋!
I'm sitting here with a world map, daydreaming about where I wanna go next. I mean, I've gotta decide, right? Since it’s semester break for 2 months before I go back to classes 😩! So, I've got this mental wishlist of places I've seen in movies or heard about from friends.
And sometimes, I've got this itch to explore somewhere totally new, like an undiscovered treasure waiting for me to find it. Once I settle on a destination📍let me tell ya, the excitement starts bubbling up like a shaken soda can.
Now, here's where I put on my detective hat 😏 I dive into the online world of travel blogs, YouTube videos, and those sneaky travel forums.
I'm like a digital explorer, uncovering all the secrets of the land I'm about to conquer. This is where I find out about the coolest 😎 spots to hit, the hidden gems that only locals know about, and those epic insider tips that make me feel like a true travel genius.
Alright, time for my trusty must-see checklist. I scribble down all the places that I absolutely cannot miss. We're talking famous landmarks that are like the rockstars of the destination, as well as those hidden gems that are like the indie bands you're proud to have discovered.
📌 This checklist becomes my roadmap, guiding me through the adventure. So, now I'm sitting there with my calendar, playing matchmaker between dates and places. It's like Tetris, but with destinations and days! I slot in the places I wanna hit each day, but don't get me wrong – I'm not some rigid travel machine. I leave spaces open, you know, just in case I stumble upon something amazing or decide to take a detour to see what's over that hill.
Transportation time, my friend! I get all Sherlock Holmes on the local transportation options. Buses, trains, maybe even a tuk-tuk if I'm feeling fancy. And if I don't rent a car, you bet I'm whipping out my phone and summoning a Grab or an AirAsia Ride like a boss.
Now, let's talk crash pads. Finding a place to lay my weary head after a day of exploring is no joke. I explore all my options, from fancy hotels to cozy hostels and even those charming 👍🏻 Airbnb hideouts. Reviews and photos become my travel BFFs – gotta make sure my nest is comfy and welcoming!
Foodie alert! Time for a culinary adventure. I dive into the local cuisine, hunting down restaurants, cozy cafes, and those drool-worthy street food joints that have my name written all over them.
And let me tell you, TikTok and Instagram become my foodie mentors, showing me the way to those trendy cafes that are buzzing with flavor.
Now, here's the twist – I've got allergies, peanuts, and seafood are my arch-enemies. But you know what? That won't stop me from embracing the foodie spirit and trying new dishes, even if it means a little sneezing or an itchy throat. Adventure over allergies, baby!
That’s all for my sharing today 🙏🏻!
Love, Adlina 💌
