God bless the year of domestic travel! I’ve rounded up three types of playlists for your eargasm pleasure…to be played anywhere, anytime. I’ve spent more hours on the road this summer than ever before. Road trip tunes are essential for any highway time. ![]() The best time is tea time with enough food to be considered brunch! The pool had a nice view, the gym was an easy space to release energy, and the beds were oh so comfy.

From KL tower to Marina’s on 57th, we paid 6 ringgits VS the 35 that a taxi driver wanted to charge us. Think Uber without the commitment… you don’t have to link your credit card up so say hello to cheap rides and goodbye to the $5 cancelation fee. We’ve become quite familiar with Grab while traveling around Asia. ![]() Taxis in foreign countries are not always the best experience. Plus, free wifi and luggage racks never hurt nobody! Grab!

Less worried about accommodation, we were more worried about safety and finally just committed to Malindo Airlines. ![]() Southeast Asian airlines’ plane safety record is a bit of a concern, and a Lion Air plane crashed only a couple days after we left Indonesia. When flying airlines in this part of the world, it can get a little dicey if you start doing some research. Guac and churros are always a good idea, but don’t pass up the Mexican street corn eloté piled with cheese and jalapeño sour cream. The experience consists of Mexican tapas (an extra special treat when traveling through Asia), great atmosphere and cocktails with a twist.
