Skyscanner has become one of the most popular websites for booking flights around the world. For the past five years, it has been my go-to whenever I’m planning (or just dreaming) of a new travel adventure. During this time I have learned a lot of great tricks and tips that I would love to share with you!

Getting a haircut in China involves repeatedly showing the…
Celebrating One Year of Marriage in China
I remember waking up this time last year in a panic. Our wedding was going to be small & casual but my favorite white dress had a neon stain. I didn’t mind it until 5 hours before the ceremony, at which point I had no time to find a new one because my friend needed…

Electronics Market in Huaqiao
The famous Huaqiao electronics market is located just a few minutes walk from Zhaofeng Road metro station (line 11).
