［中文👇］Have you heard of Area 51? It’s a highly classified United States Air Force facility located within Nevada. However, it’s known for the alien fans that it’s the area heavily guarded underground lab where the government keeps and studies alien aircraft- and possibly even aliens themselves. I don’t know if it’s true or not. 🤣 But it’s a fun experience to explore this Area 51 alien center. They have many interesting alien souvenirs here. If you are an alien fan, definitely make a stop here. If you are not an alien fan, it’s still a good spot to take a rest before you head to Death Valley National Park. Check my stories for what’s look like inside! 你有聽過51區嗎？ 這是美國機密的空軍軍事基地， 但一般人聽過應該是因為外星人吧🤣 之前就很常聽到一些傳言說這裡有外星人出沒， 也是美國政府偷偷研究外星人的地方👽， 雖然不知道是真是假， 不過剛好有機會經過附近， 還是要來看看51區外星人紀念中心～， 賣超多外星人相關紀念品， 也有餐廳廁所等等， 除了外星迷會覺得有趣好玩外， 也是進入死亡谷國家公園前很適合暫停休息的場所！ 可以看我限動有更多內部照喔！

[中文👇］Koziar’s Christmas Village is one of the most amazing Christmas destination you can visit in the US. It’s in Pennsylvania and only open in November and December. Just 2.5 hours drive from New York City. There are so many stunning Christmas decorations and you can really feel the holiday spirit in the air. It’s so good to see all these amazing lights while enjoying my hot chocolate. Did you know this place before? Would you love to visit here? 位在賓州的聖誕老人村， 是全美最有聖誕氣氛的地方之一， 園區內的裝飾又誇張又美， 邊喝熱可可邊逛真的很有氣氛～ 只是也很冷就是😆 大家有聽過美國也有聖誕村嗎？ 如果未來剛好有機會聖誕節在美東玩的， 可以來拜訪看看！ 離紐約差不多2.5小時車程～

[中文👇]Wine and cheese pairing, hot springs and stunning vineyard view 👉 perfect combination for a winter getaway! Do you agree? River Oaks Hot Springs Spa is in Paso Robles, which is a California town famous for their wine and hot spring. We booked the “sip and soak” package, it’s $65/person for 90 mins experience. You got a bath powder, 5 tasting wine from 5 different local wineries and a cheese plate. Also, you’ll be guaranteed to have a vineyard view tub. Overall it’s an amazing experience. However, since the cheese plate is not too impressive and not everyone can drink various wine in 90 mins, my recommendation would be just book their regular one hour mineral hot spring package and order whatever drink you like. It’s just cost around $30 ~ $50. (The price is slightly higher during the weekend) Do you like hot springs? What’s your best hot springs experience? 冬天邊泡溫泉邊喝紅酒真的是最棒的享受了！ 位於加州中部的Paso Robles本來就是以溫泉和葡萄酒莊著名， 這次選擇 River Oaks Hot Springs Spa來泡泡看， 我們事先預訂了 “sip and soak”的方案(但我覺得不用訂這個😆，原因下面會說)， 方案為一人$65可以泡90分鐘， 附上泡澡粉、起司拼盤、五小杯當地葡萄酒， 還有保證會有葡萄園的景色， 整體泡起來真的很舒適， 黃昏來泡不但可以看夕陽， 起來時也不至於太冷或太熱！ 但真心覺得大家不用特別訂這方案🤣， 因為酒真的蠻多喝不太完哈哈， (尤其你另一半是司機所以你要喝兩倍量)， 加上起司拼盤不太好吃～ 所以大家可以預約一般方案， 再單點一杯自己喜歡的酒就可以， 這樣一人差不多$30 - $50(根據你點的酒跟週末平日價格不同有所起伏)， 不管怎樣都比較便宜啦！ 等疫情結束有機會來加州中部， 很推薦這間給大家！

Cheers to start the new week🍷

[中文😭］Do you think it’s in Japan or San Francisco? This Japanese tea garden is inside the Golden Gate Park. Only 15 mins drive from downtown SF. Quite amazing right? We enjoyed our afternoon tea - Hojicha + Matcha pudding + Green tea mochi🍡 Everything was so good and authentic! The entrance fee is $10 and it took around 1 hour to visit the whole garden. It’s a nice way to visit Japan without actually flying 🤣 猜猜這在日本還是舊金山？🤣 這個日本花園其實就位於舊金山金門公園內， 離市區只要15分鐘車程～ 入場需要$10， 裡面有一個日本茶店， 可以買到很多超日式的食物， 我們點了焙茶、抹茶布丁和綠茶凍都超好吃的！ 也有賣正餐， 像是烏龍麵、豬排飯之類～ 整個園區晃晃大概一小時， 算是不能出國的小確幸啦！ 真的好想去日本喔！ 不知道下次去是什麼時候了😞

[中文👇］Carmel-by-the-sea is the most beautiful town in California! (at least in my opinion 😆) This town is very European vibe! Every storefront has its own cute design. Recommended places to visit here - 🥘 Dametra Cafe 🥘 La Bicyclette 🥘 Casanova ☕️ Stationary ☕️ The Cheese Shop 🍷 Albatross Ridge Tasting Room 🍷 Caraccioli Cellars 🏨 La Playa Hotel There are also many other great wineries, galleries and restaurants to explore. Save this post for your future visit! Carmel-by-the-sea是我覺得加州最美的小鎮， 整個小鎮很有歐洲感， 每間店都有自己獨特的裝潢， 走在裡面就像童話世界一般， 有很多獨特的畫廊、品酒的地方、餐廳等等， 上面推薦了一些來可以吃的餐廳或去的小店， 可以把這篇存起來， 下次來北加州玩可以順路來訪🥰

[中文👇]When you travel, do you prefer to stay in an airbnb or a hotel? 🏡 or 🏨 ? If you follow me for a while, you know I mostly choose #airbnb unless I feel there were no good/safe listings in the area I visited. Why I love to use airbnb - 1. It’s better for group travel: you can rent the whole place on airbnb so if you travel with a group of friends or family, you all live together but still have your own private room. 2. Get the most local/authentic tips: in some listings, you would stay with the host. Mostly, they are very friendly and easygoing. They are happy to provide some local guides for your travel or some hidden gems you never find online. 3. Chance to stay in an unique property: You can find many cool/unique stay experience on Airbnb. I had experience staying in a boathouse, treehouse, glamping...etc before. It’s rarely to find special room type from hotels. 4. Good for budget traveller: I know it’s not always the cases, some airbnbs are insanely expensive but gorgeous. However, if you are open to stay whatever room types or don’t mind to share rooms with other people, you can find many cheaper options. Besides the good side I mentioned above, there’re also some bad/unsafe listings on the platform for sure. Therefore, you need to be smart to choose the good one. I’ll share some tips next time. Comment below and let me know which one you like? Hotel or airbnb? 大家旅行時喜歡住飯店還是像airbnb這樣的民宿？ 我個人是如果有民宿選擇，就不會選飯店。 除非我們要去的地方比較危險或是找不到適合的民宿~ 我喜歡民宿airbnb的原因有以下幾個: 1. .比較適合團體旅遊 - 住民宿可以包棟，這樣一群朋友或家人出遊就可以住一起，但大家還是有自己的房間～ 2. 可以得到最當地的資訊 - 有些民宿是跟房東一起住，通常大部分的房東都蠻好客的，會跟你分享當地秘密景點、或是只有當地人才知道的資訊 3. 有機會住超酷的房型 - 因為飯店通常設計都比較制式，民宿上卻有很多選擇，之前旅行有住過船屋、樹屋、或是露營車等等，都是在airbnb上面訂的 4. 省錢- 雖然這不一定，有些民宿也是超爆貴但很美~ 不過如果你不介意要住什麼房型、或甚至願意跟人分享衛浴之類，airbnb上也超多便宜的選擇! 不過除了以上的好處外，當然也有些不好或是不安全的民宿，在預定前要非常小心，下次再來跟大家分享我在airbnb上訂房會注意的事，目前是很少踩到雷啦!😎 所以你是喜歡住民宿還是飯店呢? 快留言跟我說~

[Eng👇] 今天來分享我年初回台灣拜訪的四間台北很喜歡的酒吧： 1️⃣ @fourplaytaipei 雖然網路上說無酒單，但這次去我有看到，點完後會給你一張機票還有行李條，上面寫你點的酒內容物，我覺得超可愛，很像邊喝酒邊環遊世界的感覺！食物聽說也不錯，不過這次去沒機會試到！ 2️⃣ @indulgebistro 曾入選過亞洲/世界五十大酒吧，酒的品質不用多說，但最棒的是喜歡他們用很多台灣在地食材入酒，像圖中這杯上面是豆乾😆結果真的很搭哦～以酒來說，是我今天這四家裡最喜歡的！ 3️⃣ @intention.__ 以酒來說這間我還好，但真的很喜歡整家店給人的氛圍，很適合跟家人朋友小聚，氣氛很開心～另外食物我覺得很好吃！是那種下班小聚會想去的地方！ 4️⃣ @g.o.a.t_taipei 位在牛肉麵店裡的秘密酒吧，酒很好喝，可以感覺出bartender 頗專業！但這最棒的是可以點外面牛肉麵的東西進來吃😆滷味配調酒就特別好吃啊！ 大家有沒有你心裡最喜歡的酒吧？快留言讓我知道，下次回台灣通通去一波！ Here’s the four bars I love in Taipei, Taiwan. Save this for your future visit - 1️⃣ Fourplay Cuisine Creative cocktail concept - they have a flight ticket for each cocktail and explain what’s in it. It feels like you are traveling the world through the cocktail. I heard they also have delicious food but I didn’t have chance to try last time. 2️⃣ Indulge Experimental Bistro This one is my favorite. They earned the title of The World’s/Asia’s top 50 bars before and I think it’s definitely live up to it’s name. The cocktails were designed with local Taiwan ingredients so you can’t get the same one in any other places in the world. I tried 4 different cocktails and each one was amazing and had it’s own uniqueness. 3️⃣ Intention Honestly I’m not the fan of this place’s cocktail. It’s just on average. But I really enjoy the vibe here. It’s pretty good to gather with friends and family. You can describe your preference of cocktails and they can customize for you. All the staffs were welcoming and food were delicious. Good place to hang out after work. 4️⃣ g.o.a.t by Guru House It’s a speakeasy bar inside a beef noodle restaurant. If you follow me for a while, you know how I am into speakeasy bars. Besides the amazing cocktails, you can also order food from the beef noodle restaurant. Surprisedly, the cocktails and beef noodle matched perfectly. I was quite satisfied by overall food and drinks experience here. What’s your favorite bar in your city? Leave the comment below, I would love to know and hopefully visit them in the near future.
