One Coachella Is All It Takes (and Tips on Surviving Coachella)

“One Coachella is all it takes, falling in love with you, possibilities, you look like all you need…”

Coachella has always been a part of my bucket list of things to do in my life.  Told myself, better to go now than when I start having to take care of children or having to take care of my family or when I start to have more life responsibilities in general.  Since I wasn’t really working at the moment, and considering my age, it was sort of a “now or never” kind of moment.  Plus, I wanted to go NFT NYC the week before, so the entire sequence of events flowed perfectly.

Yunnan, Where The Pictures Are Prettier Than Reality Part One

I hate to say this, but I found Yunnan to be one of the more overrated travel destinations I’ve been to (another one being Venice, Italy).  I was incredibly looking forward for this trip as I heard many good things about the scenery and I have a passion for spicy food, but Yunnan did not live up to its expectations.  I must make a disclaimer though that the time spent for this trip was relatively short, and I would suggest at least a week to visit all the scenery provinces in Yunnan.  Instead, we ended up spending 5 days (4 days of sightseeing, the last day was just getting to the airport) at Lijiang and Shangri-La.
