Tara Power

Wanderer, Teacher, Dive Instructor

I think my real love of travel became apparent when I lived in South Korea. I moved there in 2011 to work as an English teacher. Asia has a huge array of different cultures, foods, and traditions. This was all so foreign to me that I embraced it head first and I’m still in love with what Asia has to offer!

After 2 years of working in Korea and planning itineraries in my head, I set out on a backpacking adventure. I started traveling in June 2013 beginning in Finland and finishing somewhere in the depths of South East Asia. Currently 12 countries and counting!

I have been writing about my travels on my blog TPtravels to offer information to other travelers about some of the routes I have taken that are less traveled.
