I’m in bed listening to the rain and thunder outside, with no sense of urgency to ever get out of bed on a Sunday. Isn’t that the best feeling in the world? It does brings me back to a time in Seoul when I had nothing to do or rather when I couldn’t do anything…
When you travel to a foreign country, you can certainly expect to encounter language barriers. Or you just try to wing it and try to make your way through using sign language or basic English. So what happens when you encounter no favourable conditions? Well, you survive by whatever means you possibly can. For me,…
It played out like a drama scene. That nail-biting feeling you get that keeps you at the edge of your seat waiting to find out the ending. We knew we had made a mistake and miscalculated the time required to travel to the airport for our flight back home. We were hoping that it will…
Singapore’s been having a bit of a weird weather recently. It would be hot and sunny in the morning with thunderstorms in their full glory in the evening. It would be SO hot and humid to sleep at night and then it would be cool and rainy the other. It was even slightly hazy this…

The moment you realise you have been outwitted, outran and outnumbered. It was very easy to get lost in the moment. White, sandy beach.

Stepping into a crowded train car in Seoul with my cousin, I hear ‘psst..psst’ behind me. I didn’t think much of it and continued chatting. Only to feel a tap on my my shoulder soon after. Tap..tap..tap…tap… I turned and faced an old man, grinning toothily at me. “Where are you from?” He asked in English.…
Often, people travel for pleasure, for a sense of adventure and discovery. In the midst of excitement and anticipation of these travels, the risks on holiday are usually given little thought. I too was that way until the day I almost drowned while river rafting in Bali. The river that we have selected did not…
I’m heading out to a beach soon!!! I’m super excited for this because March and April are just crazy at work. I am in desperate need of rejuvenation but I will need to wait for May. As this will be a solo trip for me again, I thought to share my tips on traveling alone…
