Thinking of Vietnam? Pho and conical hats dancing in your head? That’s a sweet start, but honey, you’re just scratching the surface! Let your friendly, occasionally sarcastic Saigonese local, Mai, take you by the hand (and maybe gently nudge you away from a tourist trap or two). This isn't your parents' guided tour. You've got a savvy local friend showing you the real Vietnam – the one beyond the clichés (remember: we're a country, not a war). Mai spills the ca phe sua da on everything: Busting those "Vietnam facts" your uncle told you after watching Platoon. Navigating the beautiful...

The inspiration for this book came from a thought that deeply intrigued me – what if an alien visited Japan, seeking to understand the life here? Where would I, who have been living in this country for over ten years, take him?

To truly penetrate the soul of Japan requires a journey across its vast expanse, engaging with the myriad personalities that stitch together the nation's cultural and ...

You Need This Guide to Tokyo. You've already got a phone full of screenshots and TikToks. You know the ones. The ones that tell you where to get a selfie with a geisha, or act like Tokyo begins and ends with Shibuya Crossing. Bless their Crocs. Those generic guides barely scratch the surface.

It's the stuff your slightly unhinged (in a fun way, I promise), but ultimately very clued-in Tokyoite friend would tell you. Inside Sara's Totally ...

Thinking about Taiwan? You could grab one of those touristy, commercial travel guides. Or, you could dive into Taiwan with your new local bestie, LeeAnn (that's me), who's about to give you the actual lowdown on this amazing island, minus the tourist fluff and with a healthy dose of Taipei-approved snark. Forget those "Top 10" lists written by a travel writer who visited for a weekend. I live here. I know where to find the truly epic food (and how to avoid the stuff that'll make your wallet weep), the sights that'll genuinely make your jaw drop (not just the ones everyone and their selfie ...

Alright ladies, Sawasdee ka! 👋 Tired of the same-old Bangkok travel guides that send you straight into tourist traps or, worse, make you feel like you need a hazard suit just to find a decent Pad Thai? Feeling a bit iffy about navigating the City of Angels solo or with your girlfriends, especially when you hear those whispers about… other kinds of "cultural experiences"? Well, grab a Thai iced tea and say "Sawasdee ka!" to your new Bangkok BFF, Fon! This ain't your grandma's guidebook (unless your grandma is secretly super cool and knows where to find the best som tam). Fon lives here,...
