solo travel girl

嗨！我是身高152公分的小個莎蔓莎！

2012年在美國一趟在無預期的一個人旅行，讓我認識了世界也重新認識了自己，讓我改變了對人生的看法，也變得更有勇氣去打破現狀，探索和追求我嚮往的生活，以及在找無數迷失和找回自己中成長，更靠近真實的自己。

我曾在美國、帛琉、上海和杜拜工作以及於英國就讀碩士，而美國後的經歷都是因為那場獨自旅行而起。我深信一個人旅行對個人成長的好處，因此我建了這部落格想要把經歷分享給你，希望對你下一趟人生旅行有所幫助。

另外，如果你跟我一樣熱愛海景、彩色街道、露臺酒吧、餐廳、咖啡廳、秘境和各種藝術氣息的地方，你可以在這部落格分類中找到很多這類資訊唷！

讓我們一起探索世界，一起成長吧！

“The EARTH without ART is just EH” 😬😂 S “The EARTH without ART is just EH” 😬😂 So, here are 2 places in Dubai for people who enjoy artistic vibes👉Courtyard & Alserkal Avenue. Courtyard is small but it’s like a little garden, really cute and has cafe, stores, restaurants & galleries. The best part is, it is so close to Alserkal Avenue where you can find more art galleries, unique vendors, cafes, vintage car store & cinema. Loved walking around both places, and getting surprise by what I could encounter. 📍 @courtyarduae & @alserkalavenue 🧚🏻‍♀️ #streetphotography #arts #dubaitourism #courtyard #travelphotography #travelblogger #streetart #aesthetic #dubaitravel #passionpassport #spicollective #dreaminstreets #sheexplores

Be careful what you are thinking because, “Thoug Be careful what you are thinking because, “Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think thoughts, they are sent out into the universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Everything sent out returns to the source - you.” ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret All these quotes were the sharp reminders for me when I was in the low mood and thought things were not great. But the day I read 《The Secret》 again at Seva Experience was the day some energy changed. And I even got everything that I asked for the rest of that day, even just tiny little things like “I need to buy a book 《The Power of Now》because I forgot to bring it” and then I randomly found a kiosk on the street that actually had it 🦋🙀 “Remember that you are a magnet, attracting everything to you” 📍 Seva Experience, Dubai, UAE 🇦🇪 👉A peaceful cafe with lots of great energy, where you can see people coming here alone to read, sketch, think, and recharge. I thought I was entering a secret garden when I visited! And didn’t think I was still in the city at all🚪 🧘‍♀️ They also have a yoga studio and a little wellness shop. #aestheticcafe #dubai #uniquecafe #thesecretgarden #plantcafe #plantaddict #plantdecor #peacefullplace #peacefulmind #mindsetquotes #thesecretbook #mindsetbooks #wellnesstravel #travelblogger #dubaicafe #wellnesstravel #wellnesstravelblogger
To see is to believe, and we can learn so much by To see is to believe, and we can learn so much by exploring places deeper. Want to point out 5 things I learned about the UAE/Dubai that surprised me the most, let me know which ones you’ve already known.  1️⃣The percentage of the expat living in the UAE is high👇 Approximately 85% of the total population in the UAE are expats, and MAJORITY of them are from Asia (India, Pakistan, Philippines etc) & other middle eastern countries. There are also many British people and Africans living there. 
 2️⃣The gap of the salary is HUGE👇 While there are lots of wealthy people, there are also people earning less than 600 USD/month.
 3️⃣The UAE is only 50 year old in December 2021. 👇 And they’ve already become so well known, advanced, achieved lots and have already attracted so many people going there. I personally believe other than having the natural resources, having rulers that are ambitious, strategic, and really care about the development and the future of their country is a crucial factor in this. 
 4️⃣This place has something for everyone, either they are wealthy people or not👇 I heard stories from expats who earn less than 600 USD/month that they are still able to send money back home, pay the rent (for a room that is shared with 8 people), live in Dubai, and SAVE UP(!!??)And you know what? They are already super grateful for what they have now and happy for the SAFETY, the FREEDOM, the OPPORTUNITY and the SALARY that the UAE can offer them which THEIR HOME COUNTRIES FAILED to provide 🥹
 5️⃣The gap between the quality of people is big, probably the biggest I’ve ever experience for one place👇 There are many super kind, generous, ambitious, smart people, and people with high tolerance and always help others/their families, countries, or work hard on their own business/dreams. BUT there are also LOTS of rude (that called waitress like she is a dog), dodgy or shallow ones (that constantly talk about fancy stuff and gossip). Also some weird men on the street randomly asking girls to be their wife 🤷‍♀️
