...Welcome to Cindy's Journal...

 

Hello, meet Cindy!

My passion for traveling started at an early age.  I moved to NYC from Taiwan when I was 13 where my goal at that time was to move to a new country every 13 years (lucky 13 eh!).  But 13 years later, I found myself sitting in the middle of the Fixed Income trading floor at Merrill Lynch 6 months before the global financial crisis.  As I could not move to another country in the middle of the turmoil, I decided to travel as much as possible instead.  

Being an ultimate planner, I enjoy the planning part almost as much as traveling.  Realizing that the toughest part of any trip is planning, I created this site to share my travel itineraries (starting from 2008) and tips with my fellow globetrotter.  My travel style is "see as much as possible with the most bang for your buck!"

I hope this blog will inspire you to explore new places.  Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media!
