Destinations 2025

I’ve been based out of Ko Phuket, specifically Bang Tao Beach on the northwestern side of the island. Over time, I’ve had the chance to explore every bay and enclave around Phuket and Bang Tao has truly felt like home. The Laguna community (where I live in Bang Tao) has been the perfect base to travel from, and I’ve loved every moment of it.

This summer, I’ll be visiting both Singapore and Bali before making a move to my new home in Hua Hin, Thailand. Naturally, I’ll be sharing photos and stories from my travels and as I continue exploring Thailand’s islands. I’m also excited to bring you along (I'll be adding options to my blog) as I choose my new place in Hua Hin (Thailand), which will be my base from September 2025 through September 2026.
