Around this time last year I put together a similar post looking back at my year in expat life and travel through my Instagram photos. So I figured I might as well stick with the tradition for a second year. It was actually really fun to go through my old snapshots and see what a jam-packed year…
After moving abroad in July 2014, I started compiling monthly roundup posts about life as an expat in Asia and all the nitty gritty that goes on behind the scenes here at Travel Lush. You can find all of my previous monthly roundup posts here. I know. I know. This monthly roundup post is absurdly late. What can I say?…
When I set off on my big backpacking trip in August of 2013 I figured I would just be traveling around for a while and ultimately returning back home to San Diego. I had no idea I would end up calling Asia home – yet, three years later, here I am! During the past few years…

I’ve said this many times before, but Nusa Penida might just be my favorite travel destination in Bali. I’ve written about it before, but in case you haven’t heard of it, Nusa Penida is an island located just off the southern coast of Bali. Although it’s only a short 30-minute boat ride from Sanur and a 10-minute ride from…

I’ve said this many times before on this blog, but I’m a huge fan of street art. When I travel to any new city, one of the first things I typically google is “street art in [insert city here].” I’ve hunted down street art in a bunch of different cities throughout my travels, from the cobblestone…
