The great thing about our whole Chiang Mai adventure was that all of our activities were booked on Klook. We didn't do any DIY for this trip, so we need not worry about getting lost, navigating to different places and we can rest our minds until we get to the destination. :) Nothing bad about DIY cos I do it often too when traveling, but I pretty much enjoyed taking the back seat on this one hihi!
The start of our Day 2 was early and we were really excited for this cos it has been our dream to visit an elephant sanctuary and turns out, Chiang Mai has a lot of them. :)

I never thought there would come a time that I would be writing more about traveling with friends. :) I'm so used to going with family that it didn't occur to me that someday i'd be in that boat. It started last year when I went on a trip with my best friend in the blogging world, Ana to Taiwan. That was a lot of fun and this year we planned another one for summer with our other bestie, Paul to CHIANG MAI! ^_^ I've been to Bangkok before when I was 12 years old, but never in other parts of Thailand, so this was something new and exciting for me + it was all our first time in the province of Chiang Mai. :)

Growing up as a kid in Taiwan wasn't any different for me in the Philippines. My days were spent mostly in the city and it was rare that I get to explore provinces or take road trips. But that was alright cos I am a city girl by heart and Taipei has so much to offer. Though from time to time, I would love to do something out of the ordinary. So, going back after all these years, I wanted to do something different and it was perfect cos my blogger bestie Ana felt the same way too! ^_^ I'm glad we're always on the same radar when it comes to interests!
For our day two in Taiwan, we decided to do Yehliu Geopark and Jiufen!

The summer season has been incredibly hot since it began and when 36 degrees feels like 40, there are times that I wish I could walk around with an inflatable pool around my waist to keep cool. But of course, that's not possible and I would get stared at for being unreasonably silly, so plan B would be the best solution - head to Inflatable Island!♥

After settling at our house in Taipei, day 1 was considered a pretty chill day for Ana and I since we arrived in the afternoon. But of course, no day should go to waste and we used up the beginning of our Taiwan adventure and visited one of the most popular tourist spots that you can easily find in the city - Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall! :)

By now most of you are familiar with the ever addicting site that is Shopee. I've had my account for a while now and I never fail to open it every single day cos I live for the "Daily Prize" section of their site haha! >_< If hooked on Shopee too, you know what I mean! ;)
Seriously though, almost everything you want or need is easily searchable on Shopee and I know a lot of friends who really depend on it for beauty products or random knickknacks in life. As for me, it's already summer and I've been searching for a some must-haves to take with me to beach/pool trips and even my travels!
Been in the blogosphere for a decade and I love writing about fashion, beauty, motherhood, the arts and more. This is where you'll find things that make me happy. :)
