Great staff, can arrange anything you want.Courtyard Area of Leo HostelMaking youtiao, deep-fried dough stick. Tasteless, bordering on terrible-tasting, if that’s possible. Powdered sugar would have been a wonderful addition…The Great Wall at Mutianyu. Magnificent. Badaling is the tourist trap, this is the new, best place to see it without too many hawkers and vendors.He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man. – Mao Zedong‘The strength of a wall depends on the courage of those who defend it.’ – Genghis Khan Sentries could be bribed, so…Matianyu is renowned for its Ming Dynasty guard towers.It Seems to Go On ForeverFrom the Dave Ball School of Self-Photography.

Hello,
I came across your blog and I love it! Thank you for sharing your images and travels. I am envious of your many adventures as I am hoping to travel the world. How do you afford all of your travels? Do you have any tips you can share?
Thank you!
Hey Kailee ~ Thanks for checking out my blog! Fortunately for me, I am a teacher trainer, so I get asked to do gigs almost month to month, country to country, city to city, so that’s what helps me make it around the world. 🙂 I happen to be on a bit of an extended stay in Japan at the moment, which is unusual, but will move on in December.
