Planning your first trip to Thailand is so exciting. But if you're a type-A planner like me, I know it can also feel overwhelming. Between stepping into a completely new culture and the constant warnings about potential mistakes, it can feel like you'll never be "ready." Take it from someone who watched every YouTube video, read every blog, and took all the notes: you won't know everything, and that's okay. This is everything I learned, found genuinely useful, or wish I'd kno

I’ve been to festivals before. ACL, Life is Beautiful, the usual. So I thought I knew what I was getting into. I absolutely did not. I went to Coachella for the first time with my friend Shaheen and her sister Amber (check out their IG: aftertheencore_), who have done it 7 or 8 times and treat it like a full production.
