The Window Unit Wanderer

by Amy Chu

Salutations, weary travelers! Camoot here. I created my travel blog, The Window Unit Wanderer, to inspire solo travelers who want to follow their wanderlust to wherever the window unit blows. Here are my top five places to visit, including tips on how you can turn every day into a vacation without splurging on plane tickets or your electricity bill.

The Boba Shop
Avoid the trendy neighborhood cafe where they kick everyone out at 3:00 p.m. Instead, I recommend you check out your closest franchise boba shop. Don’t be warded off by the C rating or the bored, cool Asian teenagers watering down your drink. These 3-star establishments appear unassuming but they are FRIGID and effective for budget explorers like myself. The Gong Cha near me is open until midnight, so travelers can really milk that $6 bubble tea until the very last minute of a hot day.
