My Philadelphia Bucket List

October 12, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Why did I go to Philly? Well, quite simply the weather was absolutely beautiful, I’m a huge lover of the northeastern states of America such as New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey as well as fond of museums, and I’m always looking for a bargain. One of the main reasons why I am able to travel so often is because I am a hardcore minimalist and about as low maintenance as it gets. I stayed in a 12-bedroom mixed dorm […]

Exploring Washington, D.C.

June 21, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Why did I end up in Washington D.C.? Truthfully, why not? It was my birthday that week, I found a $130 round-trip plane ticket, had a few old friends living there who I didn’t mind visiting, and wanted to see what the difference was seeing DC on a field trip as an 8th grader as opposed to a soon to be twenty-eight year old man. What was I trying to find? Hidden gems. Every tour guide can tell you about […]

Exiting Japan: Tokyo

August 4, 2018 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Tokyo was my last stop for my Japan trip and I had some reservations about going. I was growing tired of big cities, debating an over-packed itinerary, and was worried about being overwhelmed by a city even bigger than my old home of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. So, I just stuck with my instincts: check out a neighborhood a day at a time, relax at night, and just ride the wave. It was also the first time I decided to […]

Countdown to the Big Easy

February 18, 2016 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Planning any trip is simple yet a task when trying to budget every dollar while still experiencing the city and culture. I always ask myself these three questions: 1. Where am I sleeping? 2. What am I bringing? 3. What am I seeing? When scavenging for a place to stay I stick with hostels because they are almost always going to be the cheapest, being a male I have few concerns staying in as many as a 12-person mixed dorm, but traveling with a girlfriend, instead I have a myriad of concerns.

February 12, 2016 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Here are a few simple tips and things to think about when traveling. First, you need to ask yourself these simple questions and be honest. Am I going to eat […]
