Why Everyone Avoids China

China is an up and coming nation – home to a few of the world’s tallest towers, economically getting stronger every minute and the land of opportunity! It’s quite common to hear of the rags to riches story in China often, but when I ask people about visiting China, the reply is always ‘Why would… Read More Why Everyone Avoids China

Dealing with Homesickness

Living abroad is always a challenge, but the biggest challenge is dealing with the feeling of being homesick.

The Silk Road

Xi’An was the starting point of the Silk Road, and is famous for being home to the Terracotta Warriors. However it is important to know that the site of the Terracotta Soldiers are not IN Xi’an, it’s about an hour away.

Beach Life

After 3 days of wandering temples and ancient ruins, my friends and I were ready for lazy days by the ocean. Although I am a natural beach bum, I had no idea what to expect of Sri Lankan beaches since growing up as a Tamil Sri Lankan girl meant wearing oversized t-shirts over your one… Read More Beach Life
