Although you might assume that all Southern cuisine is the same, there are actually a lot of distinct regions with unique culinary traditions. Traditional cooking and food preservation methods and recipes vary even within a single state. In Kentucky, for instance, the traditional foods of the Appalachian mountain region differ greatly from those of the western portion of the state. For this reason, unless you are familiar with Appalachian recipes, you cannot fully understand Southern cooking.

Luang Prabang, the cultural center in northern Laos, blew me away. Situated on the mighty Mekong River, this town is a patchwork quilt of beautiful nature, fresh food, and artisan shops. Laos has put effort to make this town BEAUTIFUL and classy. My guide to Luang Prabang may be a little biased because it holds such a special place in my heart. Surprisingly, the center of the city almost feels like Europe, with tables set up in the street to people-watch while you slowly drink a coffee. The best part of my visit was wandering around the stunning alleyways, peeking in artisan shops and taking in the vibes. Not only is Luang Prabang reminiscent of the ancient Lanna kingdom with its beautiful brown traditional houses against green palm trees, but also in its influence of the French rule — as noted by the laissez faire cafes & best buttery croissant I’ve had in Southeast Asia.

I went to Paris with my family for two weeks last January 2025 and it was all surreal! Paris is my dream vacation since I was a little girl and I have been longing to experience Paris like Emily (Lily Collins) did. My husband and I got a chance to visit the famous Emily in Paris filming locations. I enjoyed eating crepe beside Notre Dame Basilica. Sipping coffee in Trocadero. Taking photos with the Eiffel Tower. Lastly, strolling around Chateau de Versailles. It was the best way to start 2025! This was my BEST VACATION EVER!
