My Digitial Portflio

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my last post with you about how to save money when backpacking to Europe. Here are some general tips on saving money in Europe that I gathered.  Picnic –  This continent has a lot of little tiny shops where you can be pre-made sandwiches or ingredients to make your own. Buy some food, eat outside, and watch the city go by. It’s a much more enjoyable and cheaper way to eat rather than eating out everyday. Eat local and cheap –  Not into picnicking? That’s ok, there are other ways to save money on food. Eat a local sandwich shops, pizza parlors, Maoz, Wok to Walks, outdoor street vendors, and the like. Avoiding restaurants and eating at a lot of the local “grab n’ go” places will give you a taste of the local cuisine at a much cheaper price. Also, check out this YouTube video that gives a personal input on traveling to Europe with a budget: Couchsurf –  Hostels can add up really quick. If you don’t have any fr...

Hey guys, Check out this storyline a written by Satoshi Kitamura, who is read by one of the main characters from Lord of the Rings! The children's story is about a spell that was inadvertently casted on a boy and his cat. The two have switched bodies! The boy acts very much like a cat, which is quite silly as you might think. Well, I personally thought the story is humorous as it was told through the boy’s mind that is tuck in the cat’s body. Now you can only imagine how silly that mind sound to younger kids! He spends the day making mistakes since he doesn’t know the rules a cat is supposed to follow. By the next day, they have returned to normal, but somebody else is very different.  This text is intended for young readers for audience around ages 4 to 8. The concept is simple and laughable. Children possibly wonder what it would be like to be a cat (or other animals) for the day and this book would stimulate those thoughts and keep their imagination and creativity going. ...

Living out of a backpack doesn’t lend itself to a stylish & extensive wardrobe. so, of course, you may have guessed it already that probably having 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, 8 t-shirts, 2 tank top shirts, and a sweater, the next question is usually “what do you do about laundry?” Actually it’s surprisingly easy to keep everything clean. There are 3 different laundry techniques I use with great success: The Sink Wash Approach: this method is pretty simple. Just fill up the sink, throw in some soap or detergent and then just wash your clothing using your hands. This can be done anywhere where you have a sink, and probably can do it if your couch surfing. The Coin-Operated Procedure: Pretty explanatory based on its title. Find the local's laundry machine. Depending where you are, it can vary from $2-5. Plastic/garbage bag wash: This one would be a universal, camping style wash. I've actually tried this method when I had to go camping for a leadership t...
