Travel Archives - Chi for Chances

Chasing the sun

Cancun is a city associated with emerald green beaches, soft sand, and never-ending golden sunshine. The fame of this place has definitely scared backpackers like me a bit.

However, when I came here, things were different. It turns out that that magnificent “Las Vegas of Mexico” is only a little fraction of what Cancun truly is.

The mystery of La Micachoana ice cream

Disclaimer: Before diving into the post, I want to make it clear that I am not involved in any illicit activities. I am simply a backpacker with a genuine interest in ice cream. In the unlikely event that this blog attracts unexpected attention, let it be known that my intentions are purely driven by curiosity.

What is love?

It was a lovely night after a long day of walking, sightseeing, and eating, my friend Dan and I decided to go for a drink.

“I don’t particularly like beer, but what I do enjoy is how people become more open after they’ve had a drink”, Dan remarked.

I agreed. Cuz not so long after we started drinking that I heard him asking me “What is love?”. Bruh, you know, this is not the kind of question you’d want to ask a 20-year-old girl on the first day we met.

To go or not to go?

Isn’t it obvious? What is a better way to explore, to see weird things, to get to know a whole new world than to go to the place itself?

Story from a stranger

“I used to be the kind of person who really loved traveling”, he said to himself. “Almost… from the age of 18, every summer I would travel around, solo, with my huge backpack. I went to all places and meet all kinds of people. Some of them became friends, while some were more like a nightmare. I was obsessed with this feeling: never knowing what will happen tomorrow, never knowing what kind of person I’m gonna be.
