The Ancient City of Bangkok
During my trip to Thailand, I decided to visit one of Thailand's largest historical cities, the ancient city of Bangkok, also known as the 'City of the Royal Palace'. This place includes a variety of buildings, temples, and historical sites that reflect the history and culture of Thailand.
Upon arrival in the city, I embraced the beauty of traditional architecture and the intricate details of the buildings. The city beautifully reflects Thailand's ancient heritage and the sophisticated civilization that has existed in this region for centuries.
I traveled the city on foot, and the places I visited were diverse and amazing. Visit the famous Wat Mahathat, one of the largest temples in the city with magnificent Buddha statues and other religious icons. I also traveled through residential areas and traditional markets where my experience with traditional Thai cuisine was excellent.
One of the most notable places I visited in the city was the 'Water Village', a traditional Thai area reflecting medieval life. There, I enjoyed traditional performances, Thai crafts, and beautiful temples. I wandered through the winding streets and enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the area.
My visit to the old town of Bangkok was a wonderful and enjoyable experience. I enjoyed learning about Thai history and culture and experiencing ancient life. The city excellently reflects the Thai heritage and offers opportunities to enjoy beautiful scenery and explore traditional culture. If you are planning to visit Thailand, I recommend visiting the ancient city of Bangkok to explore the amazing history and culture of this beautiful country.
Moorten Botanical Garden.
Visiting the Moorten Botanical Garden was a wonderful and enjoyable experience. Located in Palm Springs, California, USA, this beautiful garden is considered one of the oldest botanical gardens in the area.
When I entered Moorten Park, I felt like I had stepped into a world of natural beauty. The garden features a variety of desert plants and beautiful cacti. The diverse shapes and colors of plants that grow in harsh and arid conditions were truly amazing.
I enjoyed walking around the park and seeing various types of cacti, such as agave, aloe vera, and more. The plants were beautifully and orderly displayed, making the visit interesting and engaging. There were also rare plants and desert plant collections imported from all over the world.
One of the highlights of Moorten Park was the hanging tree pavilion, where you can enter this suite and walk under the beautiful hanging trees, enjoying the shade and fresh air. This experience was truly amazing and refreshing.
Bryce Canyon National Park
I started driving from the city to the national park. The journey lasted about 3 hours and was the perfect way to enjoy the breathtaking scenery spread out on both sides of the road.
When I arrived at the park, I knew I would witness a beauty that was beyond words. I started by visiting Bryce Point, the most famous spot in the park where I could enjoy the breathtaking view of the famous red rock pillars. The rocks were shining with the colors of sunrise and sunset, which added an amazing beauty to the scene.
Then I toured the national park and explored many other landscapes such as 'Sunset Point' and 'Inspiration Point'. Each of these spots offers a wonderful view of the red rocks and pillars that have been formed over many years due to natural factors.
The trip to Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the best decisions I have made. It was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it.
Canyonlands National Park
During my visit to Canyonlands National Park, I had many beautiful and special memories. Visiting Canyonlands National Park was a wonderful and inspiring experience. I enjoyed being in the tranquility of nature and the beauty of the wild, and I felt the spirit of exploration and adventure fill my heart.
When I first entered the park and faced the magnificent landscape, I was amazed and filled with awe. Deep canyons, sand mountains, and towering rock pillars stretched out before me infinitely. The scenery was beautiful and created a sense of smallness and humility in the face of nature's grandeur.
I took a wonderful walk along one of the park's nature trails. The view of the mountains and deep valleys changed before my eyes, and the colorful rocks and desert plants gave the place a special luster. I was enjoying the stillness and peace surrounding me and the wind on the rocks.
I went on a boat exploration of the park's river canyons. The trip was thrilling and filled with adventure. I saw uniquely carved rocks and narrow channels, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the canyons and rock pillars from a different perspective.
During my visit, I enjoyed taking photos of the magnificent landscapes and open vistas. The natural colors and unique terrain were creating excellent artistic images. I cannot forget the moments when I was recording the beauty of the park and taking it with me as beautiful memories.

Montage Healdsburg.
If you're looking for a beautiful couple's getaway in California's wine country, this is the place. Excellent location, accommodations, and service. The food and service at Hazel Hill Restaurant were outstanding. It's about an hour's drive from the rugged Pacific coast, surrounded by wine tasting opportunities and world-class restaurants. A very special place, and many thanks to the great staff.
This place is amazing! The staff and service are top-notch. They always ask us what we need. The restaurant at Hazel Hill was delicious, and our server Teresa was excellent; she was very kind, knowledgeable, and gave us an unforgettable experience. You can see beauty from everywhere on this property. We will stay here again.
Golden Gate Bridge.
My favorite city in the world: San Francisco. And here's why.
In my twenties, I moved around a lot. I lived in 3 countries, in 9 different cities: São Paulo, Guaruja, Campinas, Vancouver, San Diego, New York, Ann Arbor, San Mateo... and finally, San Francisco.
I didn't think I would stay in San Francisco for long. After all, I was used to feeling the need to move every 1-2 years.
But San Francisco showed me what it means to feel like you belong somewhere - something I had never felt before, even in my own country. Living in a city where you already know your neighbors and people really support local businesses for the community.
It's been 6 years since San Francisco was called home, and my old desire to move to a new place is no longer there. Will we stay forever? I can't say for sure, but I think we probably will.
Maybe I will always love San Francisco. Because, more than anywhere else, San Francisco is the city of planters and dream hunters.
Like all major cities, San Francisco has a lot of collapses. Damn, there are many collapses in the entire United States and now in the world. I see it, feel it, and want it to change.
However, I would not choose to live anywhere else despite the insane rents. The reality of San Francisco is far from piling up your opinions in social media videos, so I hope you will visit the city.
Happy Day Farm
We visited the pumpkin farm at Happy Day Farm outside the village, and we loved it. It was one of the best pumpkin farms we've been to. It was very clean and organized, and there were many options for children to play and explore. The farm was really clean. The petting zoo was really fun. The animals were clean, happy, and seemed well cared for. The pig races were adorable. We took a tractor ride to the pumpkin field. There are great photo opportunities in the pumpkin field and on the farm. We really loved this farm.
Plan ahead, order tickets online, and be prepared for crowds if you go on weekends or holidays. I hoped it wouldn't be too crowded since I didn't see sold-out ticket sales on the day we went, but the lines were long, and the corn maze, while great compared to what we've done in the past, isn't as enjoyable when too many people are wandering around. It takes away from finding your own way when you see them going back and forth. We went to a fall festival that included many activities and food trucks, and our friend waited 40 minutes online for a few slices of pizza. There are plenty of places to sit and eat, but it's a good idea to pack your lunch for your visit to avoid long waits at the food trucks. We ate sandwiches in the car, but it was a nice hike. The kids had a fun time, and it was a great day out with the family when the weather was nice. There are many places to take pictures throughout the farm, and my son wasn't interested in it, but you can get lovely pictures of your four children here.
Yosemite National Park
Beautiful scenery! Hiking levels for all ages and skills, with short and long trails, from easy to difficult. Accommodations of all kinds, from great camping to lovely cabins! I love all the gift shops, but I wonder why most of the gift shop items are made in China or somewhere similar? Use local resources!
One of the best national parks I've visited so far... This national park looks great in most seasons, but winter is the best time to visit.....
If you're planning to visit in winter, carry tire chains and call park services to find out more about the weather conditions.....
Places like Yosemite Falls, Mirror Lake, and the Wedding Chapel look wonderful during the winter.
The views were truly beautiful, and I suggest spending a few days to fully explore this park. Our day trip was not enough to appreciate all the beauty. If you are limited to one day, plan for 7-8 hours. Check reservations during peak season. Many places like waterfalls and scenic lookouts are easily accessible by driving or hiking.
Recommended LA half-day tour course in Joshua Tree
#USAtravel #Riverside #JoshuaTreeNationalPark
If you're looking for an unusual travel destination near LA, I recommend Joshua Tree National Park. It's a place full of uniquely shaped Joshua trees that you can reach by car from LA.
Originally, it was a place where you could see stars at night, but it's difficult to stay there until night without a guide. Also, if you don't have enough time, it's good to rent a car and go on a day trip! 🥰
First, we stop by Riverside, which is on the way from LA. It's a city located in southern California and the home of Victorian-era architecture. Therefore, it's an important historical place. In particular, you can see the statue of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, who settled and lived in Riverside. You can also see many historical buildings and landmarks, including the Riverside County Courthouse, considered one of the most beautiful buildings in California. There are also museums, theaters, souvenir shops, and squares with many historical and cultural attractions, so stop by here for a while before going to Joshua Tree. 😘

🚗Then we head straight to the national park by car. Joshua Tree National Park is a vast area that even has campsites. Joshua trees are unique to this area and look like cacti, so they are often used as locations for various TV shows, movies, and albums. 📸As photo points, you can take pictures at the park entrance, viewpoints inside the park, and at the end of the road, "Road Close," for a fulfilling half-day tour!

🚗Palm Springs Wind Farm - Joshua Tree National Park Photo Zone - Joshua Tree Star Gazing
Joshua Tree National Park is a popular tourist destination near LA. It is a unique place with surreal deserts, trees, and rocks. Especially at night, it is a great place to see the stars pouring down. The national park's unique visual appeal makes it a popular location for movies, music videos, album covers, and photo shoots. You may have seen it in the media before, but when you actually visit, you can feel the vast and beautiful nature with your whole body~
First, the first course is Palm Springs Wind Farm. It is a great place to stop by and take pictures on the way to Joshua Tree National Park. The sight of huge wind turbines turning in the vast desert is spectacular.
And a little further, you will arrive at Joshua Tree National Park. Joshua trees have a unique visual appeal that is different from ordinary palm trees. When you take a photo with the blue sky in the background, it looks like you are on a different planet~ You can also take a road shot with the long road in the background where there are not many cars and the road is blocked.
As you explore, time flies and the sun sets! Let's go see the Keys View sunset. It is the highest point you can drive to in Joshua Tree National Park. The sunset and San Jacinto Mountain view from there are the best~ Finally, after the sunset, you can see the stars pouring down. Unfortunately, stars cannot be captured with a phone, so we recommend bringing a DSLR camera! And try to capture the stars with your own eyes.

The place where 나혼자산다 members and Daniel Henney went! Day trip to Catalina Island, USA 🏝️.
#TravelPlan #USATravel #CatalinaIsland
Catalina Island, also known as the Hawaii of California! This place has been featured on "I Live Alone" before, where Daniel Henney took Park Na-rae and Jeon Hyun-moo to this famous tourist spot in the USA~ It's a popular tourist destination for Americans ❤️ If you have time in your travel schedule, it's recommended to stay for a night, but you can also visit for a day trip! 😎
🚢First, you need to take a boat to get there. You can check the schedule and fare on the Catalina Express website. There are two ports, Long Beach and Dana Point, where you can depart from. Each port has different arrival points, routes, and fares, so make sure to check the schedule and make a reservation that fits your itinerary! If you're going for a day trip, you need to book the departure and return trips together in advance. Make sure to book the morning departure and the return trip around 4-5 pm!
🚘Also, there are no cars on Catalina Island! It's an environmentally friendly island where even the residents ride golf carts to get around. To go around the island, you need to rent a golf cart. There are 4-seater and 6-seater carts, and you need to apply for an international driver's license in Korea and present it. You can rent it in 2-hour increments. It may take 2 hours or a little more to go around the island, so rent it with plenty of time.
📌Tourist Points
1️⃣Before renting a golf cart, we recommend taking a walk around the port and nearby villages! The port and ocean view that you can see as soon as you get off at Catalina Island are really beautiful. There are many things to see, such as cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, so have lunch and enjoy a walk~
2️⃣After that, rent a golf cart and go up to the summit. You can go around Catalina Island while riding a golf cart and enjoying the beautiful ocean view. There is a designated route for golf carts, and you can listen to the explanation with a map when you rent it. When you go up to the summit, you can see a different charm of the island from the view at the port! And driving a golf cart itself is a fun activity 😙
3️⃣As seen on "I Live Alone," you can also ride a zip line! There are designated times to ride the zip line, and it's a pretty long route~ Unfortunately, I couldn't ride it because my travel companion got seasick, but I want to try it again on my next trip~
🍯Travel Tip | There are reservation sites for both golf carts and zip lines. You can rent a golf cart directly at the port, but for the zip line, the time and number of people are fixed, so we recommend making a reservation in advance. Also, if you're prone to seasickness, make sure to take motion sickness medicine before getting on the boat. Eating is more effective than sticking a patch.
