Hi, friends! This week, let me take you to Jiuzhaigou, a dream destination for nature lovers. It’s another stunning place to satisfy your eyes, mind, and soul 🏔️🌿💖 If you read my previous blog about Huanglong, you’ll know I struggled to breathe because of the altitude. Don’t worry, Jiuzhaigou isn’t as high as Huanglong, so most people don’t experience altitude sickness. Actually, Huanglong is the northern end of Jiuzhaigou. People who come to Jiuzhaigou will go to Huanglong too because they’re near. That’s why I wrote about the more difficult trip first before posting this one, hehe! 😉 If you love nature and have a limited budget, both places are…

I Almost Died in the Breathtaking Huanglong Scenic Area, China
Hi, guys! This isn’t a clickbait article, I really almost died when I was at the magnificent, breathtaking Huanglong Scenic Area. This week, I want to take you to… China! Yup, the cover photo above was taken in the Huanglong Scenic Area, located in Chengdu, Southwest China. It was a spontaneous trip back in 2023. The day after I returned from Japan, I went to China right away 😆 It was because another solo female traveller was on the group tour for that specific date. So, I quickly signed up to avoid paying a single supplement fee for the room, hehe! China has many stunning natural views, such as Huanglong,…

Hi, everyone! This week, let’s visit Owakudani to see Mount Fuji, shop for Japanese snacks, and stay at the comfy Guesthouse Gaku in Hakone🗻❤️🍘 Since the Sakura season is coming, I feel like writing about Japan.

Why Couples Should Travel to Udaipur, Venice of the East
Hello, February!💖 Since Valentine’s Day is coming soon, I’ll take you to Udaipur, the Venice of the East. Aand… it’s located in India! Alright, I know Italy and India are totally different. I love Venice, it’s charming and exudes a lovey-dovey vibe, with romantic gondola rides and fancy restaurants near the canals… What about Udaipur? I also love Udaipur, but I don’t know how to describe it in words. Udaipur has a different charm… it’s exotic. The calm, serene city walk… My lovely heritage-style hotel, the delicious lunch at a cute cafe near the lake, the amazing architecture and interior design, and the sunset boat ride are 😍😍😍 Ah, right!…

Travel to India, Is It Safe? This is How I Feel
Hello everyone, Happy New Year! Last week I returned from my 14-day India trip, and it was incredible! ✨✨✨ Before the trip, I was very scared to travel to India because of the rape and murder news about some female travellers. However, India turns out to be safe. Heck, I even wandered alone a few times and was completely fine! When I returned to the office and shared about my trip, some colleagues (male and female) had the same perception as I had before – that the country isn’t safe. So, this week, I want to share my experience of travelling to India. Hopefully, this could open your mind and…

But before that, Merry Christmas to everyone who’s celebrating!
