Namaste, friends! Today I will take you to explore the Tulip Garden (and another garden) in Srinagar, the capital city of Kashmir 🌷 🌷 🌷 My initial flight from Amritsar to Srinagar was rescheduled to an earlier time, so I had to wake up very early and got a packed breakfast instead of another amazing hotel breakfast 🥹 Well, it’s okay! As long as the flight goes smoothly and my luggage doesn’t go missing… coz my friend told me that someone tried to steal hers when she was at Srinagar’s airport many years ago 👀 The sky was still dark, but the airport was quite busy. Of course, I chose…

Amritsar Day Trip and Welcomhotel Amritsar Review
Hi, everyone! Starting from this week, I will share about my belated birthday solo trip to Kashmir, India. Okay, let’s start with the Amritsar day trip and my review of Welcomhotel Amritsar! Actually, my birthday was in January, but I decided to go in April because I didn’t like the snow and cold. I thought April would be good for Kashmir (and India in general) as it wouldn’t be too cold and the flowers may start to bloom. Since there was no direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Srinagar, I decided to fly to Amritsar because I’d never been there, stayed for two days, then took a domestic flight to…

Am I Weird? Decoding Autonomy
Hi guys, I just returned from a solo trip to Kashmir! By the way, it’s been a long time since I wrote something about what I learned in life. This time, I want to share about autonomy. So, one day, I was listening to a self-growth podcast while working and realised the topic was very spot on for me. Sorry, it’s in Indonesian and the channel doesn’t have English subtitles. So, it started with, “Have you ever seen someone eating alone?” Or maybe you saw someone sitting alone in the cinema, enjoying the movie without any friends beside them? This person could even be you.” And I was like, ‘Wow,…

Hotel Review: Sentido Caribbean Soma Bay, Hurghada
Hi guys! This time, I’ll take you for a relaxing 3D2N stay at Sentido Caribbean Soma Bay, Hurghada, Egypt. This isn’t a paid post, I’ll give you an honest review for your Red Sea holiday reference 😉 OK, first of all, I have to burst your bubble early before you get your hopes high. I was excited about the idea of staying at a resort by the Red Sea in Hurghada, Egypt. I mean, it’s the RED SEA! The sea that Moses parted into two when Pharaoh and his army chased after him and the crowd!! 🤩 🤩 🤩 But after I confirmed it with Veronica (the tour leader), apparently,…

Egypt Temple Hopping: Edfu, King’s Valley, Karnak, Luxor Temples
Hi guys, let’s continue our Egypt trip! Today I will take you to Edfu Temple, Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple 🌊 ✨ 🛳️ This blog post will combine 2-day itineraries because there was one day when I only visitted Edfu Temple and then did nothing, due to unforeseen circumstances. So, on the 2nd day onboard the Nile cruise, we departed for Edfu Temple at 5am. So yes, I woke up super early again, at around 4 am 😂 😂 😂 Now that I think about it, I prefer waking up super early so I don’t have to explore Egyptian temples under the scorching…

Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo and Nile Sailing Day
Hi, guys! I hope you had a wonderful February 🥰 This week, let’s continue our Nile cruise exploring Abu Simbel and Kom Ombo Temples! Actually, this blog post was ready a few weeks ago. However, with the intense situation in the Middle East, I didn’t feel good posting a blog post with my smiling faces holidaying in Egypt. I also didn’t want to encourage people to go to Egypt during the war. However, there’s no certainty when the war will end. Hence, let this blog post inspire you to travel when you have the chance 🙏 Up until now, I still regret not visitting Ukraine and failing to visit Israel.…

Exploring Philae Temple and Nubian Village with Felucca, Egypt
Hi, guys! This week, let’s explore Philae Temple and Nubian Village with a felucca. We will also board a deluxe Nile cruise and stay in Aswan for three nights! 🌊 ✨ 🚢 The day before, my sister and I arrived in Cairo and visited the Salah El-Din Citadel, the Mohamed Ali Mosque, and the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo. The first day of the group tour was quite rushed because many people exchanged money at the airport, so we waited for them for almost an hour. Because of that, we had to rush the itinerary, and I was so annoyed. I was worried the whole tour would be rushed. But…

Annyeonghaseo! Today, I will take you back to Korea and explore Busan. I will share all the yummy foods I had, beautiful places to go, and where to stay (budget version) ✨ ✨ ✨ At first, I wanted to start writing about my Egypt trip.

So yeah, I want to write it down as my digital diary aka travel blog post 😊 😊 😊 This blog post will be a combination…
