10 Reasons to Visit Hong Kong

May 14, 2019July 25, 2020 / Yale Wanders / Leave a comment

A GUIDE TO HONG KONG When people think of Hong Kong, they think of high rises, densely populated streets, lots of noise and constant energy. It’s city meets jungle. There are only a handful of places in the world that feel like home, places I could live. Before this trip, those places had been Austin, … Continue reading 10 Reasons to Visit Hong Kong

A Night at The Upper House, Hong Kong

July 2, 2017August 15, 2020 / Yale Wanders / Leave a comment

On a recent trip to Asia, I spent two weekends in Hong Kong. On the first weekend, I stayed in a reasonable hotel in the Wan Chai district (found via Booking.com). In between weekends, I traveled to Japan to meet a friend from the States, and explore Tokyo and Kyoto. At the end of our … Continue reading A Night at The Upper House, Hong Kong

#Take12Trips: May

June 15, 2017June 16, 2017 / Yale Wanders / Leave a comment

This month, I visited a few new cities and a new continent! Asia has been on my list for quite a while, but a trip just never seemed to come to fruition- parts of the US and Europe have always been bigger priorities. After spending a week and a half in Hong Kong, Macau and Japan … Continue reading #Take12Trips: May

5 Things To Do in Macau

June 13, 2017August 17, 2020 / Yale Wanders / Leave a comment

When I visited Hong Kong, I knew I wanted to find time to check out Macau, another autonomous region of China. We'd planned on spending a day in Macau, but we ended up spending the morning lounging around our hotel (The Upper House), and wanted to be back in time for dinner in Hong Kong … Continue reading 5 Things To Do in Macau

When I first started planning for my trip to Asia, I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of suggestions people shared with me. One thing that kept popping up for Hong Kong was a day trip to Lantau Island. When people think of Hong Kong, they think of high rises, densely populated streets, lots of … Continue reading Hong Kong Day Trip: Lantau Island

Where to Eat & Drink in Hong Kong

June 8, 2017August 17, 2020 / Yale Wanders / Leave a comment

Hong Kong: Dense, populated, colorful, energetic. It's city meets jungle. Everyone told me I'd like Hong Kong, but I wasn't prepared to love it so much. Hong Kong is made up of over 230 islands, along with a part attached to mainland China called Kowloon. We stayed on Hong Kong Island, which is where the … Continue reading Where to Eat & Drink in Hong Kong

#TravelCrush: Hong Kong

Being a true Type A personality, I'm already planning my 30th birthday trip even though it's a year and a half away. Thailand has been on my travel list for as long as I can remember, so I'm excited to finally be planning a trip to a country I've heard such incredible things about. As part … Continue reading #TravelCrush: Hong Kong

One day in Milos, went for a sailing adventure ⛵️
Mandrakia Point was my favourite colourful fishing village on Milos 🌈🌊
Whether you stay in Plaka or elsewhere on the island, the beautiful capital of Milos on top of a rock formation overlooking the sea is worth exploring.
My favourite beach in Milos was Firapotamos, a beautiful sandy cove with old boat houses that line the shore.
If the name Milos sounds familiar, it may be because this is the island where the Venus de Milo was found. Today, there’s a replica near where it’s believed to have stood.
Fyriplaka Beach was one of my fav swim spots in Milos.
