<p>If you’ve been following my travels recently, you’ll know that I went to Taiwan TWICE this year! I created a bunch of videos from my time there, including <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dearalyne/videos/852099115220342/">How Taiwan Dates</a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dearalyne/videos/508394149981270/"> The Convenience Store Country,</a> and even got to interview the president of Taiwan!</p>

<p>One of the interesting stories I learned about while visiting Taiwan’s central city of Taichung, was about the <strong>Rainbow Village</strong>. This village for veterans was scheduled to be <strong>demolished</strong> until one of its inhabitants took the situation into his own hands (<em>literally</em>!) He grabbed a paintbrush and started painting brightly colored images all over his own house, then later his neighbors’ houses and even the alleyways.</p>

<p>This<em> Rainbow Grandpa</em> as he’s now known is almost <strong>100 years old</strong>, but his actions saved the village, and it now attracts 1 MILLION tourists per year! Check out my video below!</p>

<p>Now, the Rainbow Village has gone global, inspiring the <strong>Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s booth</strong> at <strong>The New York Times Travel Show</strong>! They have taken real photos of the artwork painted on the buildings and printed it onto a 3D replica made out of recycled cardboard!</p>

<p>On the other side of the booth is a landscape inspired by Taiwan’s beautiful mountain ranges, echoing Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s 2020 theme &#8211;<strong> Year of Mountain Tourism</strong>, which highlights the broad range of unique natural landscapes, flowers and ANIMALS that can be seen in Taiwan.</p>
<p>At the booth, you’ll also have the chance to see some <strong>Taiwanese aboriginal dancing &#8211; Did you know there were aboriginal people in Taiwan?!</strong></p>

<p>If you live in or near <strong>New York</strong>, I urge you to go check out the Taiwan booth, not just for all of the above, but because by visiting the booth you can<strong> enter a lucky draw to win a return flight to Taiwan and discover this great country for yourself!</strong></p>
<p>You can find details of Taiwan’s booth at this and future events by visiting ​www.taiwan.events If you do pop by the booth, make sure you say <strong>“​Ni hao​ from Dear Alyne!”</strong></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hi! My name is Iris! Nice to meet you!  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was so lucky that I had the opportunity to attend the first Dear Alyne Retreat in Bali!!!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At first, I didn’t know what to expect. I was excited to meet like minded women from all around the world and to learn more about how social media and entrepreneurship work.  But even though I was so excited to learn everything this retreat offered, I was more than anxious to meet Alyne herself. What if she was a completely different person than what she shows online? What if she didn’t care about teaching us useful things at all? I soon realized, I could not  have been more wrong! Sorry Alyne! </span><b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f605.png" alt="😅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b></p>

<h3>The Ultimate &#8216;Girl Gang&#8217;<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I arrived a day before the retreat began- the same day as Alyne! And not surprisingly at all, from the moment I met her I knew she was that honest, intelligent, and purpose-driven woman I had always admired.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">After everyone checked in, the other girls and I had the opportunity to explore the beautiful town of Ubud and got to see some beautiful temples. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later that evening, around the dinner table, I finally got to know all of my companions in this adventure: an amazing, crazy, inspirational group of women from 10 different countries!! :O We were all able to get close so quickly because we all have big aspirations that we plan to achieve.</span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Firstly, we got fueled up with one of the MANY delicious vegetarian meals provided by Chef Elsha. She kept all of us full and feeling nourished.</span></h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our day was very busy: Alyne gave us a presentation and told us all of her story. Sabrina Iovino from <a href="https://www.justonewayticket.com/">JustOneWayTicket.com</a> explained how she built her blog in only less than a year! And Gillian Morris from hitlist told us how traveling the world can make us each better entrepreneurs. </span>All of this information made me feel a little overwhelmed but super motivated because all of their stories had one thing in common: whatever these women wanted to create, even if they started with a few resources they just did it! They just went for it! And they created their dream job even if before it existed!</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the evening we were surprised with a<strong> women’s circle,</strong> led by a woman named Nadine from Yoga Barn. I had never attended one before, but it was <strong>one of the most intense experiences in my life</strong>.  They had created a safe place for us to share our struggles, our strengths, and it helped all of us girls create such an amazing bond!</span></p>
<h3>Day 2:<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The second day was just as exceptional!<br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We woke up super early in the morning to enjoy the most photogenic place on Earth: Tegallalang Rice Fields!</span></h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After our rice field adventure Agon from Project Nightfall video called us to explain the power of content creation and how much female content creators are needed now!- It was very inspiring and motivating.  After having our phone time with Agon</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">,  Alyne talked to us about <strong>monetization</strong> of online content and the power of leveraging.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the evening we got to choose, either to try <strong>acrobatic yoga</strong> (omg! It looked so cool!) or to watch Alyne edit something for her Instagram stories. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I choose not to break my neck, (I am a piece of wood, not an acrobat at all!) </span><b><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f605.png" alt="😅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b></p>
<h3>Day 3:<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Day 3 was the busiest!</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">We started the day with a Goal Meditation led by Amit from Yoga Barn, which in my opinion is the best way to start any day!</span></h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then we had the opportunity to Skype with Tery Yu from Vibely on how to build a company from the ground up. We then got a lesson from Alyne on how to script a video by analyzing hers. We then had a video chat with Markian about being an Introverted Influencer and the formula for viral content. Finally, we had the longest Interview of our retreat- it was with Nas! We spoke about life, business, purpose, and motivation.It was one of the most inspiring conversations of my life.</span></p>

<h3>Day 4 &amp; 5<span style="font-weight: 400;">During the next two days we could choose to explore the beauty of Bali or work on our videos. We also helped Alyne shoot hers and got to see EVERYTHING that’s behind the scenes. Very enlightening.</span></h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We met Erin Holmes, from the blog <a href="https://explorewitherin.com/">Explore with Erin.</a> She Told us her touching story about how she went from having a successful family travel blog, to losing everything and having to start over again. It was very insightful. </span></p>

<h3>Closing Thoughts</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If u Asked me a week prior to the retreat what I thought I was going to learn in Bali, I would not have had much to say. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">This experience exceeded any expectations I could ever have. The amount of information shared was so much more than I thought and it was also precious because it was information you can&#8217;t find online. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not only did I learn a lot from our teachers, but I also learned so much from all the girls, with whom I had the such deep and pure conversations with. These wonderful conversations and connections led me to finally start believing in MY self and realizing that I am capable of anything. </span></p>

<p class="p1"><b>Oh BONJOUR so nice to see you here! </b></p>
<p>This was my THIRD trip to Paris &#8211; so I wanted to find unique things to do in Paris, in addition to my old time favorites! I&#8217;m a 29 year old world traveler who&#8217;s been to <strong>70 countries. </strong> My Mom is a AGE UNDISCLOSED recent retiree who has been to <strong>1 country</strong> in the last 20 years! We have totally different travel styles, backgrounds, ages etc.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> We clash a lot and don&#8217;t travel or think in the same way. </span><strong>Which is why we decided it would be a great idea to…</strong></p>
<p class="p1">Take an 8 day trip to PARIS…together!  Let&#8217;s see how it went <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Where we stayed</span></h3>
<p>We booked our hotels via <a href="https://www.agoda.com/dearalyne">Agoda</a> since we are working with them on this project! I wanted to find UNIQUE hotels and consequently I searched and found…</p>
<h3>Kube Ice Hotel.</h3>

<p>This <a href="https://www.agoda.com/en-sg/kube-hotel-ice-bar_2/hotel/paris-fr.html?">hotel</a> is in the<em> 18th arrondissement</em> which is on the outer edge of the Paris Circle (check the map). The neighborhood is predominantly African, Indian, Moroccan and consequently if you love that type of food and clothing, you’re in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>luck! We ate Biryani (Indian flavored rice) for 8 Euro and it was AMAZING. The hotel itself though has a completely different vibe: a big hipster courtyard and one of the nights they had a huge costume party! The bar is very happening, and there is ANOTHER bar that is an ICE BAR!! ITS AMAZING! AND HUGE! It has a French flag frozen in the wall, an ice car, and it&#8217;s not very busy so you can pretty much get it all to yourself. The rooms are very big and even your bathtub in your room is shaped like an ice cube!</p>
<p class="p1">Agoda also has a new part of their website which offers apartments and homes to stay in! We wanted to try it out since I love home vibes (hello laundry machine!) but we didn’t have time since we found something even more awesome. That brings me to our second hotel…</p>
<h3 class="p1">THE GROCERY STORE Boutik!</h3>

<p class="p1">Okay so this <a href="https://www.agoda.com/paris-boutik-suite-duplex-l-epicerie-bastille-gare-de-lyon/hotel/paris-fr.html?cid=-218">Boutik hotel</a> has 2 <strong>amazing</strong> and unique places to stay in Paris. It&#8217;s an apartment you rent, not really a hotel with many rooms and a reception desk. One of the two locations looks like a LIBRARY (SO COOL) but it was fully booked! SO we booked the one that looks like a CUTE CORNER GROCERY STORE (they were almost fully booked but we found one night)! It’s a super cute quiet place that is really&#8230;I mean wow. So unique. Pretty hotels with pools and a view are a dime a dozen, but this was incredibly unique and I’ve never seen anything like it before! It’s really spacious with a sort of living room area, upstairs and downstairs, very clean, big modern bathroom and tub,  and great location in the center of Paris near the Seine. I wish I could have stayed longer! One warning &#8211; there is no AC (but they do have fans) so if it&#8217;s the middle of summer and you&#8217;re heat sensitive keep that in mind. We invited some local friends over, ate cheese and bread and fruit, and played cards until late at night. Definitely the kind of place you&#8217;ll want to share with friends as you&#8217;ll love it so much, and sharing the experience makes it even better. We also slept INSANELY WELL because the bedroom totally blacks out &#8211; so set an alarm or you&#8217;ll sleep peacefully until next year hehe. Location is great, central and lots to do in the neighborhood! The blinds are electronic so you&#8217;ll feel very modern and chic.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What we did:</span> Musee d&#8217;Orsay, Shakespeare and Co, THRIFT SHOPPING, Vegan cooking class!</h3>
<p><strong>Musee d’Orsay!</strong> Ok this is not unique but Paris has many museums and this is the one my mom was most excited to see. It has Van Gogh, Degas, Monet, Manet, and currently &#8211; an amazing and very interesting exhibit about black people In French history. There’s also an exhibit about women painters and how they were disadvantaged. Loving the inclusivity there and their giftshops are full of art themed notebooks and cute things that I wanted to buy all of!</p>

<p><strong>Shakespeare and Co!</strong> This amazing bookstore has an insane history: At night, young writers sleep on these benches for free, in exchange for a few hours work, reading a book a day, and writing a 1 page story of their life. It&#8217;s right across the river from Notre Dame, like a 1 minute walk, so it&#8217;s a great place to spend some time and look at Notre Dame since it was burned down, you are not able to enter during renovations. They also have a cute healthy cafe that I like to sit and relax in with lots of vegan and vegetarian options like a sushi roll, a korean glass noodle salad, quiche, and more.</p>

<p>&#8220;Shakespeare and Company is an English-language bookshop in the heart of Paris, on the banks of the Seine, opposite Notre-Dame. Since opening in 1951, it’s been a meeting place for anglophone writers and readers, becoming a Left Bank literary institution.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Thrift Shopping!</strong> Shocking to believe, but thrift shopping was popular even before Macklemore! Growing up I exclusively shopped at thrift shops when I was paying because hello I was 14 and had no money and because thrift shops are COOL AND SUSTAINABLE LIKE ME! I still remember my favorite skirt was 50 cents. Gray plaid and closed with safety pins lolol. Here in Paris there are many amazing vintage shops.  We did a challenge: a full outfit for under 100 Euro! And it was easy! Ours were way under budget. And the best part was many of them are on the same street so it was easy to look around! We visited &#8220;FREE&#8217;P&#8217;STAR&#8221; and the Kilo Shop which was 2 doors down. Kilo shop you shop BY WEIGHT! But of course the items I liked were specially marked to be sold NOT be weight and were the most expensive things. I HAVE EXPENSIVE TASTE even at a thrift shop <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p><strong>Vegan Cooking Class at &#8220;<a href="https://www.lepotagerdecharlotte.fr/en/">Les Potager De Charlotte</a>&#8220;</strong>! This was my Mom&#8217;s favorite activity! I&#8217;m vegetarian and she&#8217;s not, but we both found a compromise in that we both enjoy healthy food! So we took a vegan cooking class and it was AMAZING! Quicker than taking a cooking class is simply enjoying a meal there! The restaurant was called &#8220;Le Potager de Charlotte&#8221; and it was perfect because it was also run by a Mom (Charlotte) and her children! The food is fresh and gorgeous and both restaurants have an amazing atmosphere. They decorated with beautiful green moss and the chef David is obsessed with making sure every dish is perfect &#8211; go and enjoy and let me know what you thought! Can&#8217;t wait to go back!</p>

<h3>What else we ate: Bistro Des Augustins.</h3>
<p>GRATIN. SLICED POTATOES BAKED WITH CHEESE AND CREAM. EAT WITH BAGUETTE. ORDER AN ITALIAN SALAD. ENJOY. I ate here two nights in a row, I took a taxi to eat there, it’s so good and totally affordable. Around 11 euro for each dish. Water is free and they make a nice natural orange or lemon juice. It’s about 7 minutes walk from Notre Dame overlooking the Seine if you sit outside to eat (like all Parisians do!) We ate other things but this was my favorite. “French Peasant Food” as our waiter called it! (NOT vegan but yes vegetarian)</p>
<h2>SUMMARY: Paris has unique things to do that will please EVERYONE!</h2>
<p>My Mom and I DID have a couple clashes, but thats pretty good for an 8 day intense trip together! We really enjoyed all of the activities and found things we could BOTH love! My favorite was thrift shopping and the cooking class and she loved the cooking class and the museum. We BOTH loved game night at our gorgeous Unique Grocery Store Boutik room &#8211; it was a night to remember!</p>
<p><strong>And as always, the best thing about a place is the unique people you meet!</strong></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>Dear Alyne &#8211; Priority Pass Experience</p>
<p>If you came here for the Priority Pass Discount:<a href="https://www.chinesean.com/affiliate/clickBanner.do?wId=63693&amp;pId=11004&amp;cId=31129"> Click Here</a>. </b></h2>
<p>(The link was broken when I posted it on stories originally, sorry about that!!)</p>
<p>ANYWAYS! We had a lot of fun in the Priority Pass lounge in Singapore!</p>
<p>What follows is my experience with visiting the <a href="https://www.chinesean.com/affiliate/clickBanner.do?wId=63693&amp;pId=11004&amp;cId=31129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Priority Pass Airport Lounge!</a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>I&#8217;ve always loved traveling.</strong> Ever since I was a kid and saw pictures of the Mayan Pyramids, of Machu Picchu, Angkor Wat, and all of those amazing gigantic ruins, I knew I had to visit them when I grew up! So I saved money, pinched my pennies and traveled every summer of college. Because I was a student I was on a tight budget, so I spent a lot of time sleeping on cold airport floors, squatting next to random electricity outlets in weird places (like&#8230;behind unattended counters <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />), and trying to calculate which snacks were the healthiest, biggest, and cheapest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I can&#8217;t count how many times I tried to charm the front desk agents at the Airport Lounges to give me the access codes to their fast free wifi (this always failed).  Those long layovers with no solid internet were awful &#8211; </span><b>especially knowing that good Wi-Fi was literally a step away in the lounges. Lounges that cost up to $75 to visit.</b></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fast forward to now!  I fly almost every week of the year so the time spent in airports adds up! I heard about a company called Priority Pass, which lets you access lounges </span><b>without </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">flying first class.  Essentially it&#8217;s a card (or e-card that you scan on your phone) </span><b>that gives you access to over 1200 airport lounges worldwide.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">This, is cool! Because the times I tried to enter lounges without a pass, they would charge me </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>I also like this company so much that I invented a slogan for them- </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>&#8220;Someday first class but for now&#8230;Priority Pass! &#8221; <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Tada! </strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><span style="color: #ff6600;"><b>So&#8230;. How much does Priority Pass cost?</b></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Priority Pass has 3 options as you can see below. For a<strong> frequent traveler</strong> like me, option 2 or 3 would be best. For someone who just pops in now and then I would start with Standard to see if you like it. You can also get a discount of up to 20% this month here : </span><br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We&#8217;ve been stuck at airports for long layovers before and paid $75 EACH for access to a crap lounge. That&#8217;s over $200 for 3 people for ONE VISIT. It&#8217;s simple math. If over the course of a year you would want to visit more than 5 lounges then you&#8217;ll save money with the pass. If you plan to just visit one or two and rough it in the main airport areas then it&#8217;s not worth it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What will most likely fit most people&#8217;s lifestyle the best is the &#8220;Standard Plus&#8221; membership for $299. It comes with 10 FREE visits. Any visit after your first 10 free ones are used are discounted to $32. (About half price of normal entrance). So essentially you&#8217;re paying $30 per visit with priority pass. Pretty good.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff6600;"><b>Why it’s worth it:</b></span></h2>

<ul>
<li><b> Free Food. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes. Each lounge literally has a buffet of free food. Pasta, potatoes, curries, each location is different. It is all you can eat!</span></li>
<li><b>Free alcohol, water, beverages. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">You know how much a big water in an airport usually costs. WATER. Is like $6. And alcohol will run you even more. In these lounges you can drink as much as you want, water, soda, alcohol etc for free. It&#8217;s all included.</span></li>
<li><b>Free fast Wi-Fi.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The thing I hate most on earth is being stuck on a long layover after a long Wi-fi-less flight with NO INTERNET. IT MAKES ME CRAZY. Partially because then I can&#8217;t plan my trip, contact my family, or get any work done. That&#8217;s why I love using the lounges. Free fast Wi-fi.</span></li>
<li><b> Outlets and workspace. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Endless outlets and workspace to actually get things done. Paying $30 is worth it to have peace of mind that I can send or receive work files I need, and charge all my equipment for long flights ahead. Also there are private workstations so I can sit and work. Time and money and 2 hours working hard in a lounge can make me back a lot more than the $30 I spent.</span></li>
<li><b> Random perks: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Massage chairs, showers, these are some relaxing perks that exist in some of the lounges!</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">Why it’s <span style="color: #ff0000;">not</span> worth it:</span></h2>
<h3>• If you travel only once or twice a year you can just pay for a lounge pass. But if you&#8217;re a couple entering a lounge just one time, that&#8217;s $75 each &#8211; that&#8217;s $150 so even then&#8230;it might be worth it to get the $99 membership because the guest is only $32 then you&#8217;re only spending $107. So yeah. Do the math but it will usually save you money.</h3>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, if you are the type of person who eats at the airport, buys water or drinks, or pays for Wi-Fi, Priority Pass could actually save you money. It&#8217;s pretty amazing!!</span></p>
<p>Bonus: you get to feel like the cool fancy person who gets to use the lounge. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f60e.png" alt="😎" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Everyone! It&#8217;sa me! Alyne! What follows is my personal experience with the cheapest travel insurance that I&#8217;ve seen. It&#8217;s called <a href="https://www.safetywing.com/?referenceID=24731510">Safety Wing</a>. I work with them, but when I filed my claim it was completely anonymous, they treated me like a normal customer. I&#8217;m currently filing 2 more claims so I&#8217;ll update on how those go as well.  Always do your own research and make the best choice for you! Remember travel insurance isn&#8217;t meant to be PRIMARY INSURANCE. SO they almost (or never) cover things like cancer etc. Make sure your home insurance covers that.</p>
<p>Past topics you&#8217;ve asked me to cover include <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/travel/how-to-best-places-to-stay-when-travelling/">How to find the best places to stay when you travel</a> and <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/lifestyle/how-to-stay-healthy-and-fit-while-traveling/">How to Stay Healthy and fit while traveling.</a></p>
<p>But today we tackle a VERY common question in my inbox.</p>
<p>Turns out, all of you want the cheapest travel insurance! I get messages from you on Instagram every day asking <em>&#8220;Alyne, which travel insurance do you use!?&#8221; </em></p>
<p>If you know me, you know I&#8217;ve been on the road (or rather&#8230;in the air) for 3 years now. BUT I NEVER HAD TRAVELERS INSURANCE. And I knew I wanted the cheapest travel insurance, too. Because I really hoped to never have to use it, so I didn&#8217;t want to waste hundreds of dollars a month on something I wasn&#8217;t planning to use much. I wanted it as a &#8220;just in case&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Three reasons I never got travel insurance:</strong></p>
<p>1.) <strong>Because.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Am. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cheap. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>2.)  I kinda hoped/thought I was maybe insured (lolol).</strong><br />
Until age 26 I was under my Moms insurance in the US so I kinda hoped it would have covered me abroad (I have no idea if it did, and I was lucky I never got injured!).</p>
<p>3.) <strong>I&#8217;ve never actually BELIEVED in insurance.</strong> I mean, I believed that they try to rip you off and find every possible loophole to NEVER PAY OUT.  Call me pessimistic if you will, but I&#8217;ve heard one too many stories of someone who thought they were insured but their insurance found a loophole to not payout. FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON ME.</p>
<p>I kept thinking &#8220;I should get travel insurance&#8221; but I didn&#8217;t have the energy to research it and didn&#8217;t trust anyone. <strong>Then I heard about Safety Wing!</strong> I knew someone who worked there personally so I trusted it more, and asked lots of questions and decided to try. It&#8217;s not meant to be primary insurance, but it&#8217;s pretty dang good travel insurance for like <strong>LITERALLY $1.30 A DAY.</strong></p>
<h2>Why I call <a href="https://www.safetywing.com/?referenceID=24731510">Safety Wing, &#8220;The Best and Cheapest Travel Insurance&#8221;:</a></h2>
<p>1.) <strong>I can sign up during my trip.</strong> Most companies only cover you if you sign up before a trip while still in your home country. This obviously doesnt work for me as I travel full time. There is no &#8220;home country&#8221; that I leave and return to.</p>
<p>2.) <strong>Home country coverage:</strong> The US has some of the most expensive health care on earth. A tiny injury there will cost THOUSANDS. Almost no travel insurance covers me in my home country. But this one does. yass queen.</p>
<p>3.)<strong> CHEAP AF</strong>: $37 a month. Do you understand how amazing that is? But&#8230;does cheap mean low quality? Nope. Safety wing is backed by Tokyo Marine, one of the best and biggest insurance agencies out there. IDK how its so cheap but I think it&#8217;s bc it&#8217;s a new company so jump on it now amigos. Also probably cheap bc most users will be young without health issues.</p>
<p>4.) <strong>Low YEARLY deductible</strong>. Some deductibles are PER CLAIM. But here it&#8217;s PER CYCLE. So if you sign up for 1 year, your deductible of $250 lasts the whole year. So if I submit 5 claims of $200 each. I get back $750. Pretty cool.</p>
<p>5.) <strong>Designed with Digital Nomads in mind</strong>. DIGITAL NOMADS ARE THE FUTURE! I&#8217;m glad the world is preparing for it!</p>
<h2>BUT&#8230;DOES IT WORK???</h2>
<p><strong>YES</strong>!</p>
<p>DETAILED ANSWER:<br />
Yes. I submitted a claim like a normal person and within 30 days got a check in the mail back. It was easy to submit the claim too. I&#8217;ve had other insurance where it was such a pain to fill out the paperwork that I just gave up and didn&#8217;t ask for my money back. I&#8217;m SO RELIEVED to have found travel insurance that actually works. I&#8217;m going to submit 2 more claims this week and will keep you updated to see how those go but SO FAR SO GOOD! And it&#8217;s definitely the cheapest travel insurance I&#8217;ve found with a good value. Let me know if I&#8217;m wrong!</p>
<p>MAKE SURE YOU DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!! This is just my experience and what I choose to use.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.safetywing.com/?referenceID=24731510">Here&#8217;s the link</a> if you want to research Safety Wing  (always research!!).</p>
<p>Happy searching and good luck!! Hope this helps <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> And if you know other great companies or have questions share your experiences below!</p>

<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Summary</strong>: <em>At a young age, Cristina&#8217;s Mom took her own life after a difficult divorce. Now, Cristina is dedicating her life to empower others to realize divorce is just a step towards a new life.</p>
<p>*The Following is a Dear Alyne Guest Post by GGG member, Cristina*</em></span></h2>
<blockquote><p>Note: If you can&#8217;t travel right now but want guidance,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/YOUniverseRevival/"> follow Cristina here</a> for  free content, guided meditations, inspirational articles,  and lots of tools that can ease the process of separation.</p>
<p><strong><em>Cristina:</em><br />
Today I am happy to share with you the story behind Cristinas Break Up Retreats:</strong></p>
<p>After 10 years of sharing life with my former partner, we got divorced. And I realized: it can either be the beginning of a joyful new chapter, or, as it happened in the case of my own parents<strong>, it can truly break one into pieces.<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>I lost my mother to suicide when I was 12</strong>, during a <em>painful process of divorce from my father</em>. She simply could not imagine life without my dad, which led to depression and determined her to see suicide as the only way to end her profound suffering. This event has impacted me throughout my entire life and<br />
<strong>having just gone through a divorce myself after being with my former husband for 10 years,</strong> I got to discover how<em> I could finally do something for others</em>. At the time, I was way too young to be a pillar of support for my mom or to even understand what was happening to her in those moments.<br />
So<strong> I resigned my management position and career in a multinational company,</strong> that I was involved in for seven years, with no second thoughts and started building YOUniverse.</p>
<p>Now, together with an experienced team, <strong>I am dedicating myself to supporting others to overcome the </strong><strong>demanding challenges that separation brings.</strong></p>
<p>I eventually understood that what seemed to be a dramatic change of scenery, was, in fact, a blessing in<br />
disguise. When I thought I’m experiencing the worst, time proved that it was the best thing that could<br />
have happened. I was given the chance to get to know myself at a deeper level and as a result, redefine who I am.</p>
<p>Shortly after this, I nestled in Bali, <strong>met my beloved partner, Javier</strong>, and allowed life to surprise<br />
me. I now choose to trust Universe’s ways of bringing all that I have to experience, in order to grow<br />
brighter every day.<br />
All thanks to Bali’s magic…</p></blockquote>

<p>There are so many wonderful places on this planet, I was lucky to live in quite a few during my seven<br />
years of travels on all continents, but none has gifted me so many profound experiences as Ubud, Bali<br />
did.<br />
I see it as a powerful mirror of truth, a place that pulls out the best and worst in me every day, confronts<br />
me with my lies and my truths, amplifies all emotions, experiences, and therefore forces me to grow.<strong> It</strong><br />
<strong>feels like being in the arms of a strict, but very loving mother.</strong> I realized that all the energy that this place<br />
holds is indeed life changing, it’s not just a myth.<br />
After learning all the lessons that arose from going through my divorce, Bali taught me not only how to<br />
understand and forgive myself, but to be at peace with all experiences that life brings.<br />
Eventually, on a personal level, this place has gifted me so much: life purpose, self awareness, authentic<br />
friendships and also brought my beloved partner my way, through a “massive coincidence” that I will<br />
speak about with another occasion. I am forever grateful for Bali’s magic.</p>
<p><strong>So why is Ubud, Bali the ideal destination for healing after separation?</strong></p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Bali is known for being a spiritual and magical place.</strong> There is much more to Ubud than the bare eye can see. It raises you to a higher power and literally is heart pulsating in the rhythm of transformation and love.</p>
<p>Be it for the belief in ley lines, be it for the energy the locals create here through their daily ceremonies<br />
and offerings – coming to Ubud you feel the difference and special energy, even if you believe in nothing<br />
at all. You cannot escape the magic of its touch. It captures you from the first breath, takes you on a<br />
journey of emotions, brings you closer to yourself, no matter how brief your moment in its embrace is.<br />
It is easy to fall in love here. You’ve probably heard of Elizabeth Gilbert’s inspiring true story and movie,<br />
Eat Pray Love haha! This land ignites you to fall in love, first with yourself, then with life and eventually<br />
with another, if you’re not already experiencing that truly.</p>

<p>Our community’s vision and our advice to those who are going through separation<br />
Our mission is to purely revive the sense of purpose into people&#8217;s lives and give a new meaning to life<br />
after divorce or separation. Just because we’ve all been there, we know how it can shake one’s world<br />
and turn it upside down. But in truth, without ignoring the challenges that separation brings, we believe<br />
that you are gaining a brand new life and get to create your entire experience as you wish. Breakups and<br />
divorce are often perceived as failures, but they are not not, as – in all honesty – no thing in life is. All and everything simply is an experience. An experience that expands your horizons and makes you richer<br />
on the path that you walk on this earth. So instead of calling it separation, you can simply choose to<br />
name it completion. Completion of an old chapter that creates space for a new beginning, more<br />
meaningful than ever before.</p>
<p>From our experience, the way you perceive this change of scenery sets the ground for what will unfold<br />
next. You are the one who holds the key to a joyful life and also the power to see that every challenging<br />
experience is, in fact, a chance to renewal – your renewal. The moment you choose to see this, you are<br />
in the process of truly loving yourself, and when you love yourself first, life will take care of the rest. We<br />
deeply comprehend that loneliness can sometimes disrupt the view, so we want you to know that you<br />
are not alone and to truly feel it!</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Girls Gone Global stories, where we share stories like <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/feminism_empowerment/bullied-into-buying-bra/">how this girl was bullied into buying her first bra </a>and <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/feminism_empowerment/i-was-period-shamed-and-this-is-how-i-dealt-with-it-ggg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Is How I Dealt With Period Shaming.</a> These stories are drawn from our Girls Gone Global community, a facebook group that grew to over 100,000 women from around the world. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/GirlsGoneGlobal/">Join now! </a><br />
________________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Maybe my story will help someone in their own journey. Whether they are trans, cis, gay, straight, lesbian, religious, or non religious. I sincerely hope that my story inspires someone.</p>
<p>Kyra is working hard on her trans journey and learning to love herself!I have always struggled with my body, my whole life, before I even knew the difference between &#8220;boys&#8221;, and &#8220;girls&#8221;. From the time I was 3 everyone in my life had told me, I had to look a certain way, be a certain way, talk a certain way, dress a certain way. As you might already know or have deduced, <strong>I am trans</strong>, so I was born a boy and as I got older, it was enforced more and more into me that I had to be a &#8216;boy&#8217;.</p>
<p>Then I was moved into foster care, this led to me moving 8 or 9 times in the span of a few years. And when I was adopted, I began to experience what you would call<strong> Extreme body dysmorphia</strong>, I would look in the mirror, and I would only see everything I wasn&#8217;t, as I entered my teen years. This got worse, especially as puberty began, <strong>&#8216;male puberty&#8217;</strong> which only worsened my body image issues.</p>

<p>I remember staying up at nights breaking down on to the floor and crying. <strong>Because I knew that I would never look fully like a girl.</strong> Even today I can&#8217;t get rid of the overwhelming knowledge that I will never be a biological woman, I will never be able to give birth, <strong>the world will never fully see me for who I truly am</strong>, but through years of loving myself, <em>giving myself the love that no one would,</em><strong> I have accepted my body</strong>, and I can very easily look in the mirror now, sometimes a little too much<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, but I have learned to love myself, I still struggle in small ways with very minor dysmorphia, mostly with my voice , but I do live everyday as the woman know I am, and if I do say so myself,<em> I look absolutely stunning</em>!!<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f481.png" alt="💁" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
