My Jackson Hole Bucket List

September 8, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Why did I end up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming? I found a budget plane ticket with United, had a friend who lived there and offered me a place to stay and a car to drive, wanted to explore Grand Teton National Park and, most importantly, I just wanted to be in the wild.

My Chicago Bucket List

August 29, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Why did I go to Chicago? Simple, the travel bug was biting again, I found $100 round-trip tickets (not including extra fees like carry-ons and choosing your own seats), and the girlfriend wanted to go after giving her a list of destinations to choose one from. Traveling is currently my biggest passion while she hadn’t done much herself and I wanted to share one of the things I love with her. I had recently grown tired of big cities, having […]

Seattle & The ER

July 18, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

I went to Seattle for a family reunion which brought family members from all over the world such as Australia, Singapore, Florida, Texas, and more totaling to nearly two dozen people. Our last reunion had been in ’99 in Orlando, Florida when most of us were adolescents or younger. Stuffed in a giant AirBnB, I was a bit skeptical from the start because I didn’t see how we were all ever going to be on the same page coming from […]

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 […]

Haggling in Hoi An

March 13, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Most people visit Hoi An on a romantic getaway, to party, since beers are cheaper than water, or to get a glimpse of the beautiful, traditional lanterns lit up and widespread throughout the small town at night by the rivers and beaches. Me? I came to practice my Vietnamese and even more so my haggling.On my recent trip to Hoi An I felt I won all my haggling except for with the old women there. Walking down the river by […]

My Siem Reap Bucket List

February 16, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

1. Crocodile Farm: Went on a road trip with some friends from Siem Reap to Battambang, Cambodia. One of our stops was a crocodile farm where crocs are bred and raised for their meat and skin. Straightaway the owner showed us his baby crocs and offered to let us pick anyone of them up to hold. I didn’t hesitate but misunderstood him when he said, “they don’t bite if you hold them,” he meant to say, “they won’t bite if […]
