As I get older, something I’m becoming more obsessed with is medical tourism. Healthcare in the US is absolutely atrocious. Like many, I’m baffled by the quality of care that we receive. I once had a situation where I was in the hospital for 4 days and the bill was $32,000! 🤯 Thankfully, it was right before I turned 26 so I was still on my parents insurance. Had it been a few months afterwards, I could’ve been straddled with medical debt right now. The only thing I miss about my last corporate job was my health insurance. It was an amazing premium plan with no deductible! Unfortunately, in the States, many people have to stay at their jobs otherwise they risk losing health insurance. In the US, the only way to survive is don’t get sick or caught in an emergency. Ironically, our taxes pay for the universal healthcare of citizens in a certain country in the Middle East. What is medical tourism? Quite simply: traveling abroad for medical treatment because the quality of care is better and affordable. The best way to do it is pair it with a vacation to essentially get a 2-for-1 deal! In Taiwan, my comprehensive physical included multiple different checkups within an hour and a half. As a noncitizen the amount I paid out of pocket is nominal compared to what it would be in the States. Most of the checks aren’t covered under preventative care and would rack up the costs + require many different appointments. 🇲🇾Malaysia and 🇹🇭 Thailand are some of the best countries to visit for medical tourism. Their hospitals are like hotels! 🇹🇷 Türkiye is known for its dentistry and hair procedures for men, 🇰🇷 South Korea is known for beauty and cosmetic procedures. The list goes on! Would you travel abroad for medical purposes? #medicaltourism #asiatravels #travelstoriesworld #taiwanlife

✈️ Recap of my experience flying EVA Air’s Premium Economy Class from NYC to Taiwan. ✈️Are you even taiwanese if you don’t fly EVA? 🤪 ✈️I’ve been flying with them since I was a baby. My mom told me after she popped me out she took me on my first flight 6 months later. So I was in the skies before I could even walk! ✈️ EVA Air offers four classes overall: Royal Laurel Class (First Class), Premium Laurel Class (Business Class), Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. The Premium Economy Class can be found on EVA Air’s Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. ✈️Travel to Asia has gotten so expensive, and my wallet feels like it was punched in the throat, but there IS a noticeable difference between Premium Economy verses regular economy. 🇹🇼Once you arrive in Taiwan, from May 2023 until June 2025, test your luck and see if you win Taiwan’s Lucky Land International Tourism Attraction lottery for some spending money! 🇹🇼Even though the island is the size of New Jersey and is home to ~24,000,000 people, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau has been trying to promote tourism in the country post-panini. ✈️Do you have a favorite airline? #evaair #travelstoriesworld #asiatravels #discovertaiwan #taiwanlife #台灣🇹🇼

🧳One of the few times I’ll travel with a check-in suitcase is when I go to Asia. 🧳I typically use a carry-on suitcase because there are too many horror stories of airlines losing luggage. However, Asian airlines are pretty good about not losing them. 🧳Going to Asia is always a guarantee there will be some spending happening. 🧳If I’m traveling to Taiwan I’m also bringing back a bunch of clothes I need to get tailored which takes up so much space and weight 😵. 🧳Do you use a carry-on or check-in suitcase? #traveltips #travelstoriesworld #asiatravels #suitcasetravels

Walking around NYC in general can feel like a hike, but did you know there’s an actual designated hike in Queens called Hike New York - Long Island City? Originally part of a 1994 art installation, the 5 mile path through LIC, Astoria & Sunnyside is marked by a series of street signs with a logo of a cuffed trouser leg and black dress shoe in midstride. I first posted about this a couple of years ago, and I’ve since been scouring the streets of LIC like it was a scavenger hunt looking for these signs, but many of them have disappeared over the years. Would you walk this? #licqns #licqueens #nycliving #weheartastoria
