Hello, guys! Previously, I shared with you my Day 1 Flores overland trip, where we explored Ende. Now, let me take you to Bajawa! My Flores overland trip route:Ende > Bajawa > Ruteng > Labuan Bajo + Komodo National Park I was in Flores for 7D6N with my mother and sister. Before the trip, we had low expectations of the food, considering Flores was a remote island. We thought since it wasn’t as popular or developed as Bali, the food would be just okay. But during the trip, we were spoiled with delicious food! I’m not being biased here just because I’m an Indonesian, okay? Hehe… And Bajawa has a…

Flores Overland Trip: What to Do in Ende
Hi, guys! Last week, I returned from my Flores overland trip, Indonesia—it was memorable! Now, let me take you to Ende, my first stop of the journey
Before that, did you know that Komodo Island is near Labuan Bajo, Flores? If you plan to see Komodo dragons, you might as well explore other cities in Flores rather than just staying in Labuan Bajo. Maximize your flight tickets, baby! My Flores overland trip route:Ende > Bajawa > Ruteng > Labuan Bajo + Komodo National Park There are two ways to reach Ende from Kuala Lumpur: The first option seems like the most efficient and cost-saving. However, I feel there’s nothing… -
A Relaxing Walk in Zhaoxing Dong Village, Guizhou
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to Zhaoxing Dong Village, the last traditional village I visitted when I was in Guizhou, China. If you follow my blog, we’ve explored Wujiang Village and Miao Village. Both villages are developed and lively, with beautiful, Instagrammable views. In Zhaoxing Dong Village, you’ll feel a different atmosphere—a more authentic, village vibe. A quiet life and relaxing walks in the park, just being present… Not many group tours visit this village because it’s far (around 2-3 hours from Miao Village) and there’s not much to do. However, I feel this village has its charm
I don’t have many things to say about… -
Meow-ing with the Miao Tribe in Miao Village, Guizhou
Meoow friends, thank you for dropping by my blog! This week, we’ll explore another exciting village in Guizhou: the Miao Village in Guizhou
The name comes from the Miao tribe, which resides there. As it sounds like cats, the animal becomes a symbol not only in Miao Village, but also in Guizhou. That’s why you’ll see many cat icons in Guizhou, China! I stayed for one night in a comfortable homestay here. It was good that no big tourist buses could enter the village, so the area was less crowded and polluted. I was advised to pack clothes and necessary things for 3D2N in a small bag because the… -
Guizhou Trip: Wujiang Village and Wujiang Zhailongwan Hotel
Hi, everyone! I just returned from Guizhou, China, three weeks ago. For the first blog post, let’s explore the charming Wujiang Village and Wujiang Zhailongwan Hotel! Fyi, this isn’t a paid post. I want to write about the hotel too because I like its interior design and had a pleasant stay
If you’re a Malaysian, please maximize your chance to explore China before the end of this year, since you won’t need a tourist visa. If you’re a non-Malaysian and are staying in Kuala Lumpur, THIS IS YOUR GOLDEN CHANCE to apply for a Chinese tourist visa conveniently 
Guys, I’m serious. This is a PSA – public service… -
Feeling Zen at Ryogen-in Temple, Kyoto
Hello, friends! Today, let’s explore the beautiful and famous zen rock garden in Japan, the Ryogen-in Temple, Kyoto! When I edited my travel photos for this blog post, it was raining outside and there was a thunderstorm. What an opposite weather to my previous post, eh? Hehe!
Coincidentally, it was also a rainy day when the group tour, my sister, and I went to Ryogen-in Temple, Kyoto. I know there are many temples in Japan and they all look similar. However, the temple I will take you to today is different. I wish I could have more time there to stare at the beautiful rock garden design with a… -
Slow Travel on a Rainy Day in Hvar, Croatia
Hi, friends! Today, let me take you on a slow travel on a rainy day in Hvar, Croatia. I’m so in the mood to write this blog post because… last weekend was HOT, HOT, HOT in Malaysia
One of the beautiful days I had in Croatia was surprisingly… a rainy day in Hvar. For the first time in my life, I was present on a rainy day – relaxed on the sofa and did nothing. Just watched the rain poured down, enjoyed the breeze, and listened to the music… If I were at home or work, I would be in front of my laptop or busy doing other things.… -
A Relaxing Walk and Wine Tasting in Stari Grad, Croatia
Hi friends! I hope you’re healthy. I’ve been down with the backward flu and cough for weeks
But no worries! Today, I’ll take you for wine tasting in Stari Grad, Croatia 
Last week was a bag of mixed feelings for me. Something made me down, but other events made me happy. Well, that’s life, it’s up and down! When I was browsing my travel photos, looking for inspiration on what to write for the new blog post, I found the photos I took in Stari Grad, one of the oldest towns in Europe comforting. Indeed, it was a relaxing and joyful day 
Looking at the photos of…
