  • Travel Day ✨💃

    May 6–7, 2025 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    We took a night bus from Nha Trang back to Ho Chi Minh, spent a hot afternoon hiding in cafes and shady parks, then finally flew to Siem Reap, Cambodia! Dinner might’ve been our best meal yet.

    p.s. dear mom, I’m sorry to say I may have most definitely lost your scarf on the bus 🫣 I’ve already found you a replacement (Cambodian silk?!) and hope I may still be allowed to steal your things ❤️💫Read more

    We are all applying our waterloo core sleep schedules, though thankfully several rest days ahead.Read more

  • Bangkok!

    We took a bus from Laos to Ubon Ratchathani, and then a fun night train to Bangkok where our group reached a new peak of nine people ✨⛰️. How to keep track of so many? Form sub teams and make it a race to the next destination. I have cracked the Bangkok subway system. I did not beat the transpo engineers 😪Read more
