Hi! I was born and raised in Bandung — a city of cool air, scenic views, and a vibe that keeps calling you back. Once you visit, you'll always want to return. Here are my favorite spots, from famous places to hidden gems worth discovering — and honestly, who doesn’t love Bandung? Let’s explore together!

I've been to the Dells more than four times over the years—sometimes with my family, sometimes with my husband—and it’s always a nostalgic mix of classic attractions and discovering what’s new (or sadly, what’s no longer there). Each visit has had its own flavor depending on who I was with and what was open that season. Some places we stumbled into and ended up loving, others were longtime favorites we kept going back to—until they disappeared (RIP to a few lost gems). This list is a collection of everything I’ve actually spent time and money on—meals, attractions, shows, tours, you name it. From waterparks and kitschy museums to romantic dinners or lazy river floats, these are my real experiences. If you're planning a trip, these are the places I’d tell you to check out based on firsthand visits. I’ll keep updating it when we go back (and we always do). Just know that the Dells is always evolving—so while not everything sticks around, the memories sure do.

Welcome to Asheville—just not the Asheville you’ve already heard about. This mountain city may be famous for the Biltmore, breweries, and Blue Ridge views, but that’s just the beginning. Asheville thrives on its individuality, with a creative heartbeat that pulses through its art, food, music, and people. Whether you’re wandering public art trails, sipping champagne among the books, foraging for wild mushrooms, or soaking in a salt cave — this list of one-of-a-kind recommendations invites you to experience Asheville from a different, deeper perspective. So go ahead—Keep Asheville Weird. And wonderful.

1000% RECOMMEND! We absolutely LOVED our long-at-last-beach-honeymoon (22 years late! LOL). I admit, I was stressing just trying to plan a couples vacation… where to go, where to stay, what to do, where to eat, what airlines to fly, and all the extras… Seriously, I was ready to just stay home. We wanted a kid-free, stress-free vacation that was turning into anything but that! My endless searching brought me to Sandals. At first glance, it seemed a little pricey, but I was ready to pay it just to be stress-free! Best Decision Ever! We had an absolutely blast the entire week~ stress-free, kid-free, fun and sun-filled time. We LOVED the NO-Stress, All-Inclusive, Treated like Royalty, Everything was Taken Care of, Beach Vacation. It had enough relaxation coupled with fun excursions to make Sandals worth every penny!! HIGHLY Recommend! Feel Free to ask questions!
