Very informative, thank you! I made a terrible mistake by buying the plane tickets with a connecting flight over US without realizing i need a transit visa which takes ages to get and is not even guaranteed you will get it. So people who need visas, check the transit visa requirements no matter where you go!

*This was so incredibly helpful, I'm going to check out all these links later on! I'm new to travel. My heart is calling me to go to different places but I've never gone anywhere my life and all of the process is super overwhelming. But you give me some good tools to check out, Aileen :-) so thank you.*

Your travel videos are coming at the perfect time! I planned a really last minute trip to Seoul for 2 weeks from now and all of these videos are getting me in the travelling mood! Also I have to say, journaling using some of the methods you've recommended is partially why I'm travelling in the first place. I wrote down the desire to travel and the urge to take a vacation from work and it's silly, but that's what made me realize that I could actually do it and nothing was stopping me! So thanks for everything, girl!
