Opened my e-mail account as usual. Oh, I see an e-mail from the airline. Clicked it open – hmm, offer to Auckland. My hands moved to click it open. Click. Checked the dates. Hands clicked it open. $600!!!! Hands moved to check timing. Click, click, click. Page comes up. FINAL CONFIRMATION. Conscience knocks hand aside…
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…
Procrastinators love to delay. I should know – I am one of them. When it comes to packing for a trip, I find it a chore to go through my stuff and pack. Instead, I procrastinate until the last possible moment before I am forced to do so. Amazingly, I don’t usually forget much, oh…
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…

Singapore was trending on twitter the other day for a bit of surprising news. Apparently Singapore was crowned the most expensive place in the world by BBC. Reading about it, I immediately wished for an increase in salary. It’s only right for it to be so, I justified. Alas, the world does not always work fairly…
1. Rules are meant to be broken. Just don’t get arrested for it or at least found out to be arrested. 2. Make up your own rules. Sensibly of course. No one knows you when you are overseas!! 3. Look out for a rainbow to find the pot of treasures at the end. You’ll learn…
So, I have to say that this is simply my own opinion and I shall give the other party the benefit of doubt. The joy of travel is definitely enhanced by meeting all kinds of people with different personalities and characters. On solo travels, the people you meet can easily define your travel experience, making…
Okay, there’s no other easier way to say this. I got naked in front of strangers and survived to live another day. Pondering in remembrance of said mortification. Never have there been a day when I so badly wanted to cover myself up than the day I tried out the Korean sauna experience (Jimjilbang). A…
Selfies. Selfies are adorable. To the uninitiated, selfies are self-portrait photography or in my terms perfect for solo photography. The problem with travelling solo is that a lot of my photos are just, well, photos of everything WITHOUT me in it. What’s the fun of visiting iconic buildings or places without having one with you…
