Ladies Trip to Belize

Well it's been well over 3 years since I wrote on this blog! I've taken many trips ever since. I actually forgot my travel journal and started taking notes on my iPhone and then I though well jeez I could open up that blog again....

So here we are it's 2016 and I came to Belize with my college besties!

Yesterday we took a water taxi ($35 round trip each) from Belize City to San Pedro.

Our real full day started today with breakfast at Estels next to the beach, it was wonderful and we got to try the fry jacks! Which are a belizean must try! They were yummy! Basically like a fry bread that taste more like a thick elephant ear with no sugar (we added butter and mermelada and voila!)
Then we rented a golf cart for 35 belizean dollars an hour ($1 US dollar = 2 Belize dollars). We took a short little tour around San Pedro and stopped at a restaurant to have some drinks.
After that our day adventure began- Hol Chan Shark Ray Alley! We took a boat out with 3 Aussie boys Ryan (Ron), Ben and another dude whom I forgot his name but he was nicknamed "easy" by our tour guide. We got to swim in the largest live barrier reef on the Western Hemisphere and it was wonderful! We saw turtles, fishes, sharks and rays! After our trip we came back to our stay and had dinner at the Palapa Bar- I highly recommend! ( definitely lived up to it's Instagram-hype) I got the lobster quesadilla with a homemade tortilla and my table neighbor Kina had shrimp tacos which were even better! We ended the night up on the hammocks and then Kina and I continued the night playing dice with some other people in our hostel (Hostel La Vista) and then took a dip in the ocean. I'm pretty tired now because I literally swam for 2+ hours, so that's our day in short. Goodnight world, tomorrow is another day.

P.S. Maybe tomorrow this blogger-thing will let me upload pictures (it's a struggle from my phone).

¡Ya llegué!

This is where I am staying, Karana Residence. I finally made it to Bali, Indonesia ! Goodness. So many emociones. I left Oregon on Tuesday... and arrived today Thursday at 2:40pm Bali time. Woah. My first flight from Portland was to Canada ( 1.5 hour flight), then Canada to Singapore (13 hour flight), then Singapore to Manila (3.5 hours ) and finally Manila to Bali ( 3 hours) + about 9 hours at airport transfers... phew!!!  As soon as I arrived at the Bali airport I took out some rupiahs from the ATM and headed out to find a taxi. My "taxi" ended up being some random guy who wasn't a taxi and got lost trying to find Karana... sigh. Wasted 1 whole hour, I mapped it out beforehand and  it was supposed to be a 6 minute drive from airport (eye roll) The roads in Bali are like a labyrinth and everyone is on scooters. Once I got settled I threw my stuff in my room and headed to the beach.  I got to see the sunset and after all those flights and lost ...

Tokyo in January

Riding our go-karts on Ginza street I went to Tokyo again, I think I will be going a lot... There is just so much to see and do, and EAT! ( I am 3 hours away on bullet train, 1 hour away by plane, or 10 hours away if I drive)I have been extremely busy and super cold ( Like what I imagine it is like being at The Wall in Game of Thrones ) so I have not been motivated to do much outside of trying to keep warm ( I live in a newer apartment complex and the insulation is horrible....read up about insulation in Japan. It blows my mind. And while you are at that read about heating sources...also interesting...sigh) I hate being cold!!!! .....Sob story over. Anyway on to Tokyo. So this last time I went I spent 4 days in Tokyo. I also went with Akira which was a grand blast! We did the Mario Kart rental and drove all over Tokyo streets! It was AMAZING! I cannot recommend this enough! It as unbelievable, I mean where else in the world can you ride an actual go-kart on real streets? lik...

Paraíso terrenal

Tulum I am finally back from my birthday trip in Cancun,Quintana Roo and a day in Yucatan.  My 26th birthday was a blast, I was up and about every single day so I did not even have time to blog. I am going to try my best to recollect everything I did. Every time I go to Cancun I see something new and experience something different. Cancun is paradise on earth! One of the most beautiful places I have been to (And well of course it's a big plus that it's Mexico). At Mandala Beach on the day of my Bday The first day we were relaxed and had dinner at our hotel, the next day the plan was to go to Isla Mujeres.  That day was rainy and icky, but of course still fun! we rented a golf cart and went to Playa Norte where we got amazing full body massages ( 1 hr for 25$ !) we shopped a little and then went back to our hotels to get ready for Coco Bongo. To see the shows at Coco Bongo the price is about $70 USD BUT... what no one tells you is that if you start at the Congo and...
