What I Learnt from My Solo Trip to Perth

So, if you can remember, I was quite busy in October travelling around Perth, Penang and Seoul.

5 places I love to revisit

It took me a long time to put this together. Not for the lack of words but it is so hard to narrow down all the places into a list. So, at times like these, I decided to be simple and use my own terms instead. And so, I’m introducing a very mixed up list,…

The dangers of solo travel

You will always remember your first. Your first trip, your first paycheck, your first day at work. For me, I remember my first solo trip quite clearly. Not that it was a huge adventure or a major breakdown of emotions. I remember it for the fear that it instilled in me and taught me to…

A Little Joy in the Midst of Darkness

5 Stages of Travel Envy

Lately I’ve been burning with jealousy. Friends have been inviting me to travel or telling me of their intended trips which makes me green with envy. 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…

My Travel Inspiration – Eat, Pray, Love

Check out my guest post here on my trip to Bali, inspired by the book! Back when the book came out, I didn’t totally fall in love with it. It was a long story, full of emotions and expressions. I sped through the book, my mind full of imaginations and full of ideas. And then I…
