My nana's 90th!

 

I just came back from a long six week trip to China to visit my family. Other than my parents and sister, the rest of our family are all in China, so there's definitely a lot of people to visit!

I stayed with my grandma on my mother's side, but we also made a trip out to the countryside to visit my dad's side of the family. We went to celebrate my nana's 90th birthday with her, and although there was a big language barrier (she speaks a dialect that I can't understand), we had a blast and it was great to see everyone.

Six weeks is a long time to be away and I definitely got quite homesick. There were a lot of cultural shocks but despite it all, it was really nice to be able to spend some quality time with my grandma's.

Why you need insurance even if you're young and single

 

A common question I get asked a lot from clients is 'why do I need insurance? I'm young and I'm single without a family to provide for'. That may be true, but that doesn't mean you don't need insurance. In fact, the younger you are, the more insurable you should be and you would be saving yourself a lot of money down the road, not to mention it'll get you better positioned in life when your priorities change.

A person's health is not guaranteed and your ability to earn income is your greatest asset. There are also many different types of insurance that will actually allow you to access money during times of need. The question shouldn't be 'why do I need insurance' but rather 'what kind of insurance is right for me at this stage of my life'.

A raft ride down the river

 

I was able to take a 3 day trip with my family to a popular tourist destination within China, the city of Guilin. There was a lot to see and do and unfortunately our timing wasn't the best as the rain started the day we got there and ended the day we left. However, some of the experiences were still very cool.

Take the ride down the river for example. We hopped onto a strung together bamboo raft and the man standing on the back end moved us along by sticking his bamboo rod into the bottom of the river and pushing us forward. My grandma had a great time and it was awesome to share this experience with her.
