So don't hesitate to pack your "weird" stuff.

New Orleans holds a special place in my heart, not just because of its incredible food, music, and culture—but because I’ve experienced it from two very different, deeply meaningful perspectives.
The first time I visited was after Hurricane Katrina, on a community outreach and educational trip. We worked with local organizations, learned about the city’s resilience, and saw firsthand the strength and spirit of its people. That trip shaped my understanding of New Orleans beyond the tourist lens—it was raw, real, and unforgettable.
Years later, I returned on vacation, this time soaking in the fun and flavor—live jazz spilling from every corner, powdered sugar flying at Café du Monde, and the rich history that pulses through every street of the French Quarter.
This list blends both visits—must-see spots, hidden gems, and places that moved me. Whether you’re heading to NOLA for the first time or planning a return, I hope these experiences show the soul of the city like they did for me.

Bangkok is chaotic, vibrant, overwhelming, and amazing. At first, it can seem soooo overwhelming to create a guide to a weekend in Bangkok.

But that’s where I can come in to break things down and make it more accessible if it’s your first time visiting. No matter how many times I go, the energy of the city revitalizes me. I’ve been to Bangkok 5+ times (and have lived in Thailand for over two years), and while the sheer size of the city can be daunting, I’ve learned how to make the most of a weekend trip without getting totally lost in the madness. If you’re looking for a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and culture in Bangkok without feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation, this guide is for you. I’m a mid-range traveler who enjoys off the beaten path type of activities. Keep reading for my hidden gem guide to a weekend in Bangkok, Thailand:
