Mel recently traveled to Japan & Taiwan to visit family… but she didn’t go alone! She went with her boyfriend Ray, exploring new cities like Tokyo and Kyoto together, and yes, bringing Ray to meet her extended family for the first time. During ABG’s latest Asia trip, Mel was chasing someone we have now lovingly deemed “The Fuckboi” – so going from that to bringing your S.O. to meet Grandpa?! That’s a big deal.

In this episode, Mel shares the highs & lows of her vacation, helpful tips for anyone who might be planning to travel to Asia (solo, or with a partner), and new things she learned about herself and her partner along the way.
