But if there's one thing you should plan your trip to Japan around, it's the food. If you're the kind of traveler who plans a trip around where you're going to eat (no judgment, we're the same), this list is for you. Here's everything I couldn't stop thinking about, in no particular order, because honestly, ranking these...]]></description><link>https://www.plottedpassage.com/post/japan-s-must-try-foods-drinks-from-ramen-to-matcha</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7dcd332d04e90cb227f584</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 18:40:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/dac8b1_dc88ad8d35d8409684bdcfee8ea7a63d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abbey Lin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[China Travel Tips: Everything you need to know before traveling to China]]></title><description><![CDATA[China has become one of my favorite places I’ve traveled to, and after visiting twice, I’ve learned that a little preparation can make a huge difference. Traveling around China is surprisingly easy once you arrive and have everything set up, but many of the apps, payment methods, internet restrictions, and even airport rules are completely different from what American travelers may be used to. If you’re planning your first trip to China, there are a few things you’ll want to take care of...]]></description><link>https://www.plottedpassage.com/post/china-travel-tips</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7cb351bc8e587d43999eb4</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:31:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/dac8b1_69abcb9d8d0a47c399348a9471ab1f36~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abbey Lin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Guide to the Ski Resorts of Les 3 Vallées: Which One Should You Stay In?]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you're planning a ski trip, Les 3 Vallées should be near the top of your list. It's the largest interconnected ski area in the world, with around 600 kilometers of ski runs spread across seven resorts. But here's the part that can get confusing when you're planning your first trip: Les 3 Vallées isn't one ski mountain or one ski town. It's an enormous interconnected ski area made up of several resorts and villages, each with a completely different personality. You can spend the morning...]]></description><link>https://www.plottedpassage.com/post/a-guide-to-the-ski-resorts-of-les-3-vall%C3%A9es-which-one-should-you-stay-in</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7cc0892ca7f56c71804aa2</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:38:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/dac8b1_c78a7f6478a84f95904f9a12ad52a833~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abbey Lin</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Travel Essentials: The Kit That Actually Makes a Difference]]></title><description><![CDATA[Firefly Recovery Device If you've never heard of Firefly, it's a small stick-on device that goes just below your knee and gently stimulates the peroneal nerve in your leg. That nerve stimulation triggers little muscle pump contractions in your calf. Prolonged sitting reduces lower leg circulation, and Firefly is designed to counteract that by boosting blood flow by up to 400%. It's wire-free and built to be worn anywhere, on a flight, during a long drive, or on an airport layover, to fight...]]></description><link>https://www.plottedpassage.com/post/my-travel-essentials-the-kit-that-actually-makes-a-difference</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a724a5fa6b03c80faf18ae7</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2026 17:26:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/dac8b1_749f85f0717c483f8f3b75b51da69e46~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Abbey Lin</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
