I was tired of being tired and wanted a little help sleeping better.

Whether your relationship is old or new, it could probably use a little bit of spice.

Asia is….well, different. When you arrive here from a western country, there are certain things that you notice right away. Some are shocking while others seem crazy and after spending enough time here, none of it will faze you at all.

Here are a few ways I have found to look cute while traveling without sacrificing too much time or space in my suitcase.

Stop making sacrifices for your travel partner. Whether it’s your boyfriend of ten years, your best friend or someone you just met in your hostel, stop sacrificing what you want to do for them. The trip is just as much yours as it is theirs.

The entire experience was meditative and self reflective for me and I wouldn’t have wanted to sacrifice the silence for anyone — especially rowdy children.

I was crying because a woman can’t go on a f*cking hike without being seen as just another means to satisfy a man.

Now I no longer waste time and money being tricked into thinking that some new product is going to finally give me the body of my dreams.

In many Southeast Asian countries, the cost of accommodation is extremely affordable. Apartments can be rented from $200 to $500 a month in popular areas of major cities and the majority of them come with a weekly cleaner for no extra cost.

Yupp, there it is — Facebook is USEFUL.
