    My Honest China Airlines Review: What it’s Like Flying Economy

    May 13, 2025 /

    China Airlines, not to be confused with Air China is the flagship carrier of Taiwan. China Airlines is a 4-Star Airline according to Skytrax and offers a blend of modern comfort, great service, and connections all over the world. China Airlines flies all around Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania.  China Airlines has become my go to carrier lately. I’ve flown them around Asia, to Australia and New Zealand, to Germany, and the United States and have had nothing but positive experiences.  Of course, I fly economy and want to write this honest China Airlines review based on my experiences with the airlines. Hopefully this post is helpful if  you…

    What to do at Taoyuan International Airport During a Layover

    May 10, 2025 /

    Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) is the main airport and gateway to Taiwan, plus it is one of the best airports for travelers coming to Asia. Taoyuan International Airport is known for its efficiency, amenities, atmosphere, and excellent connectivity.  I’ve visited Taiwan seven times now and have traveled through Taoyuan International Airport  at least a dozen times now and it remains my favorite airport in terms of spending layovers, things to do, and overall flight connections.  Whether you have a short to long layover at Taoyuan International Airport or are beginning your Taiwan adventure, this post is all about Taoyuan International Airport and how to traverse through the airport or spend…

    Overnight Layover at Incheon Airport: Eat, Sleep, and Explore

    December 5, 2024 /

    For many travelers, the idea of a long or overnight layover sounds miserable. However, Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea can be a wonderful place to have a layover. There is plenty to see, eat, and do in the airport. For those that have an overnight layover at Incheon Airport or a longer layover and are itching to experience some of the Korean culture, might I suggest leaving the airport. Just a couple subway stops away is Unseo Station in the Jung District of Incheon. Here you can experience Korean nightlife, eat delicious food, and even stay in a nice hotel, all without going directly to Seoul or getting…

    Train Travel in Japan – General Information and Tips

    January 22, 2023 /

    Train travel in Japan🚊🇯🇵  is perhaps the best way to explore this beautiful country. Japan is well connected by rail and traveling by train in Japan is relatively stress free. The Shinkansen or “Bullet Train” is regarded as one of the world’s fastest trains and is a remarkable experience. There are many other modes of train transportation throughout Japan that can get you from one city to the next. For visitors traveling to Japan for a week or longer, it’s worth looking into the Japan Rail Pass, or for those like me that live here, getting a prepaid IC card 💳 is a must.   Whether you are a first time visitor…

    What to do During a Long Layover at Singapore Changi Airport

    October 27, 2022 /

    At any other airport, travelers want to minimize their layover times. I mean after a long flight, who wants to waste even more time at an airport, where there is nothing to do. This is true for most airports, but a Layover at Singapore Changi Airport is an exception. Changi Airport is renown as being the “World’s Best Airport.“ There is so much to do and see at this airport, where a short layover just isn’t enough. Changi Airport is home to the tallest indoor waterfall, spectacular gardens, great food, an abundance of rest areas, high end shops, and world class dining experiences.  🇸🇬 ✈️  **This post contains affiliate links.…

    Japan’s Budget Airlines

    April 8, 2022 /

    We all want to save money while traveling 💴, especially when it comes to booking flights. Without getting into flight miles and other savvy ways to save on travel, looking into budget airlines is always a great place to start!  Usually, you have to sacrifice something when it comes to budget airlines, whether it be less leg room or no inflight services. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about sacrificing safety. After all, budget airlines have to go through the same rigorous safety inspections as any other plane.  I’ve traveled around Japan going on four years now and flown airlines like ANA and Japan Airlines, I have also flown some…

    Japan Travel Recommendations

    February 19, 2022 /

    After living in Japan going on three years now, I have traveled to more then half of the 47 prefectures here. I’ve spent many hours riding trains, sleeping in hotels, ordering food at restaurants, and simply just living like a local. I do most my grocery shopping at local grocery stores and markets, live in a Japanese apartment, and have many friends that are from here. With the current Covid-19 situation, travel to Japan has been non-existent since early 2020. Lately, it seems that restrictions in Japan are headed in a promising direction. I am hopeful that this year, 2022, will finally be the year Japan accepts visitors and I…

    Cycling the Shimanami Kaido

    November 17, 2020 /

    Since moving to Japan in 2019, Cycling the Shimanami Kaido has been high on my to-do list. Prior to moving here, I’ve never heard of the Shimanami Kaido cycle route, but as I started going to bike shops and talking to other cyclist, I started to hear more and more about Cycling the Shimanami Kaido.  The Shimanami Kaido is both an expressway for vehicles and route for cyclists that connects the cities of Onomichi on the main island of Honshu and Imabari on the island of Shikoku. The route crosses six smaller islands (Oshima, Hakatajima, Omishima, Ikuchijima, Innoshima, and Mukaishima) within the Seto Inland Sea. The cycle path is completely separate…
