My Chicago Bucket List

August 29, 2019 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Why did I go to Chicago?

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 […]

The first time was to see my mother who was visiting me from Singapore, the second was to see about a girl. I didn’t explore that much of Taipei because to be honest I was all but done with big cities. I’ve come to the point in my life where big skyscrapers, fancy bars and restaurants, and big chains of hotels and fast […]

Living Abroad in Taiwan

September 16, 2018 by Shaun Li Stoffer

Tainan: I came to Tainan, Taiwan to work at an international American high school.

Random Facts About Living in Taiwan: 1. Every receipt is a lottery ticket with 8 digits printed on the top. The lottery is every two months countrywide. 2. […]

Dare I say the highlight of my Costa Rican trip! A couple hours of riding, a run in with a pack of coyotes, and a few galloping contests (I lost every time) to drink in these views that you always have to travel far and wide to see. . . . . . . . . #bucketlist #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler  #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #getaway #wanderlust #worldtravel #travelstoke #earthfocus #traveltherenext #worldnomads #thetraveltag #travelzoo #sharetravelpics #itravelbecause #traveladdicts #adventure #costarica #viewsfromthetop #centralamerica #monteverde #horsebackriding
