The ride from Jakarta to Bandung was pretty uneventful. In the three hours that it took for us to get there, we chatted, we laughed, we ate and we napped. Except, we were not in a car by ourselves but in a hired van with 6 other strange men who kept to themselves. The silence…
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…
I was going to write a whole long post on tips for solo travel. My sister is travelling alone for the first time and I wanted to give her some motivation. As I was writing out my list, it kept getting longer and longer. I thought – Why complicate matters? Will she even remember all…

The bad news is, I’m deskbound until the middle of the year with work and endless engagements. Which makes me feel worse since I have not been able to…
The moment you realise you have been outwitted, outran and outnumbered. It was very easy to get lost in the moment. White, sandy beach. Gorgeous clear waters, I could hardly believe this was in Malaysia. I was near Langkawi, enjoying the awesome beach and being lulled by the beautiful surroundings into my happy place. We…
I often get asked by friends visiting for the first time on places to visit in Singapore. Well, there are so many things that I can list down that it’s hard for me to narrow down. However, knowing that they only have a few days here, I have listed down my recommended places to visit…
I’m still woozy from medicine so I thought up these reasons why travel was fun to cheer myself up. I had fun writing it as they were “fond” memories that I have collected on my travels. Hope you get to enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it down. It’s TGIF, people!!! WOO…
