Hi, I’m Grace.
I’m glad you’re here.
I started this site to share the things I wish someone had told me before I left: where to stay, what is actually worth the money, how a place feels, and how to travel alone without feeling like you have to become somebody else.
My seven-month solo trip through Southeast Asia became one of the best seasons of my life—the stretch of time when I felt most at peace with who I was and remembered why I started traveling in the first place.
Now, I want these guides to help you plan your own trips. You’ll find itineraries, honest notes about places I’ve stayed, and photographs from along the way.
