Samantha in Formosa: May 2012
http://samanthainformosa.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 26, 2012. I’ve been to Taroko Gorge before. Well, kinda. But when my dad came to visit Taiwan, I figured this was my chance to do it again, and do it right. A friend put me in contact with a man named Luice, who runs a bicycle touring business in Hualien. After a couple quick emails and few phone calls, my dad and I were set up to ride bikes through the Taroko National Park. We only rode a couple hundred yards before stopping for our first photo op. Across a bridge and up a million step...
Samantha in Formosa: Alishan
http://samanthainformosa.blogspot.com/2012/12/alishan.html
Thursday, December 6, 2012. One day after returning from my trip to Penghu. I hopped a train to Chiayi. With Alishan in my sights. My friend Ellen and I had traveled together before, over the summer to Green Island. And I was looking forward to spending more time with her before leaving Taiwan. The next morning, we woke up at 4:30am, took the train up the mountain to Zhushan Station, walked up the road a bit to the Ogasawara Mountain Viewing Area, and saw this:. Peak of Yushan to left of sun. Feeling qui...
Samantha in Formosa: Taiwan Touch Your Heart
http://samanthainformosa.blogspot.com/2013/05/taiwan-touch-your-heart.html
Saturday, May 4, 2013. Taiwan Touch Your Heart. There is SOME truth in advertising. When I left Taiwan back in November, I knew I’d be back again some day. All my good deeds and positive karma joined together with the forces of the universe, and it worked out perfectly for me to return to Formosa before heading off to Vietnam. As I stepped off the plane in Taipei, I was transported back to my first arrival on the island. Except this time, I had family waiting for me; just like coming home! Taking in the ...
Samantha in Formosa: Penghu - You can do WHAT with a cactus?!?
http://samanthainformosa.blogspot.com/2012/11/penghu-you-can-do-what-with-cactus.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Penghu - You can do WHAT with a cactus? Needing a vacation from our vacation-lives, Alex and I booked a trip to Penghu. A 40-minute flight later, we were officially on island time, far away from the gray, drizzly Taipei grind. After checking in to hotel and getting to know the friendly and helpful staff, we ventured out to explore the only real city to speak of in Penghu - Makung. Our wanderings led us all around town, from the old streets of Zhongyang to the Confucius Temple...
Samantha in Formosa: Arrival
http://samanthainformosa.blogspot.com/2011/08/it-was-just-like-movies.html
Sunday, August 21, 2011. It was just like the movies. I arrived in Taiwan tired, a bit nervous, and probably smelly from 24 hours of travel. I had of course over-packed, which only added to the comical nature of my struggle to get my bags off the conveyor belt and onto the cart. After using all my remaining strength to hoist the 150lbs of luggage into a precariously teetering tower of totes, I headed towards the exit of the Taipei airport. Except, this wasn’t the end; it was only the beginning. Did you t...

Samantha in Saigon: June 2014
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2014. Motorbike Diaries 2: Cruisin' Central Vietnam. After a quality night’s rest in Hue. We met Mr. Hai out in front of the hotel to begin our grand road trip. Mr. Hai was recommended by a friend. And he lived up to all our expectations. Our plan was to take the long way from Hue down to Hoi An, making a trip that usually takes only a few hours into an epic three-day escapade. Mr Hai: “Oh, welcome to Vietnam! Have you driven a motorbike before? Dad: “Yeah, yeah, no problem! Our first ...
Samantha in Saigon: Christmas on the Ganges
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2015/01/christmas-on-ganges.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Christmas on the Ganges. I arrived in Varanasi. On Christmas Day, my second stop on a two-week adventure organized just for me by India Someday. After spending a bit of time in New Delhi, I was ready to see the REAL India. New Delhi just felt like a big city in Asia. That’s just what Varanasi was like for me. In the taxi ride from the airport to my hostel, I saw a dog chasing a pig, cows sleeping in the intersections of ridiculously busy roads, goats in coats (yes! Back down b...

Samantha in Saigon: Fear and Fog at the Taj Mahal
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2015/02/fear-and-fog-at-taj-mahal.html
Monday, February 9, 2015. Fear and Fog at the Taj Mahal. I woke up before dawn to see the sunrise at the Taj Mahal. The guidebooks all said this was the most divine time to see the Taj, with the bonus of fewer crowds vying for a glimpse and a selfie. Never one to miss out on the best, I set my alarm and bundled up for the chilly Agra air. As I walked hurriedly past the many touts and rickshaw drivers, one man shouted to me, “Miss! Buy tickets for the Taj Mahal here! You can’t fool me, old man! Well I cer...
Samantha in Saigon: Jaisalmer: A Desert Mirage
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2015/03/jaisalmer-desert-mirage.html
Saturday, March 14, 2015. Jaisalmer: A Desert Mirage. From the moment I set my two-week travel itinerary with India Someday. I was most excited to visit the desert in Jaisalmer. I’d heard other adventurers mention a camping trip to the Thar Desert, and I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself. When I arrived in Jaisalmer (after a freezing cold 14-hour overnight bus from Jaipur), I went straight to Mystic Jaisalmer Hotel. And repacked my bag for a journey to the desert. Coldest night of my life! The Ki...
Samantha in Saigon: April 2014
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. Let this be a warning: Happy Hour, The Newlywed Game. We spent the afternoon of Valentine’s Day drinking discount cocktails and quizzing Lou and Trina on their knowledge of each other’s vital information, like “If she were dying, what would her last meal request be? 8221; and “If she could be a shoe, what shoe would she be? For a weekend away with friends. Me, Lou, Trina, and Lisa taking a break from yelling at the traffic. To pose for this taxi selfie. I found Vietnam Active.
Samantha in Saigon: September 2013
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 14, 2013. Wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, Lauren, John, and I boarded a night train to Lao Cai. In our sights. Lao Cai is located along the Vietnam-China border, and it was our meeting point with our Sa Pa guide, Hao. Lauren and John wait patiently for the night train. A bumpy van ride out into the middle of nowhere, a few moments to slather on sunscreen, and a wave from the driver, and we set off on a three-day adventure into the depths (and heights! When we ...

Samantha in Saigon: March 2014
http://samanthainsaigon.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. El Nido, Palawan. During the Tet holiday. In January, I traveled with my friend Dave to the Philippines. I’d been once before. But this trip was to El Nido, Palawan, known for its natural beauty and cluster of islands. Inspired by this magnificence, and the current English unit at school about non-rhyming poetry, I’ve decided to tell the tales of my adventure in El Nido, Palawan. So, here’s to you, El Nido! Our first glimpse of Palawan from the plane. The bay at El Nido. One afte...

The Incorvaia Insight | Welcome to my blog, where I record my thoughts and my life. Life is good.
Welcome to my blog, where I record my thoughts and my life. Life is good. February 3, 2014. Super Bowl 2014 — ads, football or food? I’m not a football aficionado, but I was rooting for the Seattle Seahawks all night based upon their energetic fans and my disdain for Peyton Manning who always looks like he wants to murder someone. Thankfully, as you all probably know, the Seahawks won 43-8 against the Denver Broncos. And who cares if people suddenly preferred the Pepsi sitting at their Super Bowl party a...

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. (1 Peter 3:3-4). August 18, 2015. August 18, 2015. Today marks one week since I’ve given birth to my perfectly precious baby girl. We had went shopping for picnic food and drinks. Had everything packed and ready to load in the van. By 2:30 I w...

Samantha in Japan | Samantha’s adventures in Japan
On: May 18, 2009. In the meantime, I had studying for finals to do. It’s finals week here at Gaidai, and the schedule runs like this– all students take their Japanese language exams on Monday and Tuesday, while other exams are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Anyway, the hours passed, and I went up to take my final exam (and got a good laugh out of one girl walking into the room and proclaiming, “DOOM! Some of us had a “nande ya nen? 8221; moment, because… really, were they going to c...

Sunday, January 18, 2015. Full of Thanks, Merry Christmas, Happy Everything. I apologize for my crazy long absence from the blogging world. Between birthdays (my broski turned 30!

Here goes my attempt to catch everyone up in the life of Sami:. 2) I am still completely on board with this treatment route.
