Hi, I am SAm, Sam I am

Welcome to my corner of the web! I started There She Goes Again when I was an ESL teacher in the countryside of Korea, and since then it has taken me all over the world!

As a classic millennial woman adopted from China and raised by two Philly parents (GO BIRDS!), I like to think that even as my travel style has evolved, the foundations are the same:

Travel as respectfully, curiously, and unpretentiously as possible. (Ok and stylishly – I like a cute look!)

If you…

  • spend a lot of time on trip research
  • get inspired by books and films/shows
  • hate wasting money on bad food
  • stop for cats
  • don’t drink but love a good cocktail bar
  • have a very thorough packing list and outfit plan
  • love finding a unique souvenir
  • will absolutely stop and read every museum placard

… Welcome! You’re in the right place!
