A Fresh Start for 2018

2017 has been a year of changes and adjustments for me. I returned from a long overseas trip in New Zealand in January, got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in April and started a new job in May. I think these are big life moments, having to cope with a chronic illness while adjusting to a new…

Goodbye October, Hello November!

It’s been a while since I wrote an update. Since it’s coming to the end of October, I thought that it’s quite apt to just sit and have a chat because I felt like it. It’s been a while since I did that and this month has just flown past so fast that it will…

5 Ways Long Term Travel Has Changed Me

Being a seasoned traveller before embarking on my 6 months long trip to New Zealand, I never would have thought I would have too much of a new experience, at least when it came to travel. I travel around 3 – 4 times in a year while working so I was pretty used to travelling…

Lack of Updates = Life Has Been Grey

My backpack has long been put away, my travel essentials stored, my meager pile of clothes have been long washed and kept. Life on the road has been over for a while. A year has passed since I left for New Zealand and 6 months since I returned home. Yet I thought it is still…

One of My Worst Travel Experience with Bugs

Have you ever wondered? Behind all those picture perfect, awesome holiday, it takes just one thing to trip it up. It could have been getting lost, missing flight connections, falling sick but the one thing that I have yet to personally encounter when I travel is actually driving me crazy now even though I have…
