Aloha and thanks for stopping by!

What I really look like. :)

HIO

I am a Las Vegas addict (still in the denial stage).  I love to self-learn about new things and dabble a bit in everything.   I am obsessed with taking photos for fun (especially of food) and needed a place to stash them (so this personal page is the end result). 

 
When I'm not planning or dreaming up a trip, I am experimenting in the kitchen to feed my fiancé.

​The perfect day to me is :  Good memories, good company, and good food.


​[MY PROMISE TO YOU]
​You will find mini-trip reports, Japan trip planning ideas, reviews, and photos of my travels in Asia, Las Vegas, and finds on Oahu (Hawaii).   I will do my best to include helpful information and not just inundate you with silly pictures. 
Since I am not affiliated with any company mentioned, I will not sugar coat my views. 
Once in a while, we may stay in a hotel in Las Vegas (on a Comp/ free), in that case, it will be disclosed on the page.

[OTHER HOBBIES]
Karaoke, Arts and Craft, Video games, Cute animals (sea otters).

​[OTHER FACTS]
​English is not my first language, but keeping this blog helps me improve my grammar
(or so I would like to think). 

​[HOW I TRAVEL]
While I love beautiful things (who doesn't?),  I love to look for values.
I usually stay at 3.5-4* hotels when possible, but if it's clean and the location is convenient, that's all it really matters. 
​I'm very picky about cleanliness (though that's why I'm always armed with a bunch of disinfectant wipes).  
​Once in a while, there will be some splurges. ;)

 [FOOD]
​Food-wise, I love a good meal.  In-fact, most of my trips now are planned around food. 
I love the idea of good food at good prices so majority of places that I visit fall around the
mid-range category 
(~$50-$150 usd per person).
3 Michelin stars at an affordable price?   Count me in!
​

​[ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES] 
​The wine store.
​
You can also find me on TripAdvisor.
