    How to See Shanghai By the Seat of Your Pants

    By Adalia Aborisade

    Some people are planners. Some people are pants-ers, meaning they fly by the seat of their pants. I’d say that I’m about a 40/60 split. Whether in regular life or travel, I wing it most of the time. For my recent trip to Shanghai, I totally pants-ed it. China is not my favorite place so it’s no surprise that I…

    Travel as Self-Care: 4 Places to Visit When Throat-Punching Your Boss Isn’t an Option

    By Adalia Aborisade

    It was about two weeks before it became clear that one day soon, I’d lose it and throat-punch the principal the next time she chastised me for not having a seating chart.

    4 Things to Know Before Moving to China

    By Adalia Aborisade

    Are you considering moving to China? Is it a good country for foreigners? I did a quick Google search of the best countries for expats and in particular, black expats. Guess what? China (excluding Hong Kong) was rarely listed. Yet there are more and more foreigners moving here each year. If you’re looking for a locale with a low cost…

    Why I Will Not Fly WOW Air Again

    By Adalia Aborisade

    WOW airlines has positioned themselves as the budget upstart that can do transatlantic flights better than the big boys at much cheaper fares. For an airline founded just five years ago, they are definitely making a name for themselves. Let me preface this post by stating that I am no stranger to budget airlines.

    By Adalia Aborisade

     NOTE: This post has been written for at least 3 months…all I can say is better late than never. I’ve been meaning to do a series of posts on the cost of living here in Honduras.

    A Tropical Thanksgiving in Honduras

    By Adalia Aborisade

    As I mentioned before one of the perks of teaching at an international school is that we get time off for both local Honduran and US holidays. Last month we had a four day weekend for Thanksgiving, a holiday which local Hondurans do not celebrate. My experience at Lago de Yojoa reminded me that I am not the outdoorsy type at…

    Celebrating Día de la Independencia at Lake Yojoa

    By Adalia Aborisade

Most of its countries gained their independence on September 15, 1821. Unlike the United States which generally contains its independence celebrations to a single day, we had 2.5…
