Coming Soon- San Diego Travel Guide

Hi!
In a few days, I'll be going to sunny San Diego!

I'm going to stop by Seaworld and Legoland, catch some rays at the beach, and possibly visit Universal Studios.

I was wondering if you guys had any questions about attractions in SD, or suggestions for me to visit and review.

Thanks!
Alex

Disneyland Trip Hacks+Tips - for families with young children

Hi!
I recently went to Disneyland and decided to make a post about surviving Disneyland for families.
Enjoy!

1. Bring Diapers, Bottles, Pacifiers, Change of Clothes, First Aid, etc.  It's best to always be prepared for any situation.

2. Bring a bag you can easily carry and access at all times.

3. Keep valuables hidden or in a place where you can easily get at it. With huge crowds at Disneyland, its easy for a pickpocket to sweep by and swipe your phone.

4. If you're going to get souvenirs, get them right before you leave. Otherwise, you'll be stuck lugging them around for the entire day.

5. Bring lots of snacks to munch on while in line.

6. Bring refillable bottles. No one wants to pay five bucks for a cup of water. It happened to me before. Moving on!

7. Bring sunscreen!

8. Bring a stroller. After 30 minutes, your kids' legs will be bone tired and they'll refuse to budge an inch.

9. Plan a route on a map to save as much walking time as possible.

10. Lastly and most importantly, make sure your kids know what to do if they get lost. Tell them to find the nearest employee, woman with children, etc. If you want, there are many tracking devices out there that you can get in case your kids run off.

Thank you for reading!
Stay tuned for more Travel Hacks!
Bye!

Seoul Travel Tips Pt. 2 w/ Alex

Hi!
Welcome back to TurbulenceandTokyo!
This is Part 2 of Seoul Travel Tips.

1. Visit the DMZ, Demilitarized Zone and peek into North Korea. But watch out for nukes. And don't cross the line. Don't.

2. If you're meeting Korean friends, or locals, make sure to know the names of the popular K-pop groups. Girls Generation, EXO, etc.

3. DO NOT stay up binge watching Korean dramas. I learned this one the hard way. One you start, you really can't stop!

4. Download the Seoul Metro app, in case you need to take the subway. This was extremely useful as I didn't have data in SK.

5. Bring an adapter unless you live in Europe or Asia. SK uses a 220V power outlet and the plug needs two round pins. ("europlug")

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and have a great time in Seoul.
I'll probably make a follow-up so bookmark my blog!
