    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 🌊 ✨ πŸ›³οΈ 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 πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Now that I think about it, I prefer waking up super early so I don’t have to explore Egyptian temples under the scorching…

    Solo Trip to the Mystical Djawatan and Antaboga, Banyuwangi

    Alohaaa~ I’m back! Today, let me take you to Djawatan and Antaboga, two mystical destinations in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia ✨🌿✨ I went to Banyuwangi for 5D4N, then worked remotely in Indonesia for over a week. Afterwards, there was an issue with my internet router at home, so I can only update the blog now πŸ˜… The main reason I wanted to visit Banyuwangi was to see the blue fire volcano, Ijen. Many travellers combine Mount Bromo (Surabaya) and Ijen in one trip, as both places are close. For me, rather than just witnessing the blue fire of Ijen, I’d rather stay a few days in Banyuwangi to explore other…

    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…

    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! πŸ˜„ 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…

    Turning Alberobello Into a Runway

    Happy New Year, friends! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ I did some decluttering before the NYE, what about you? 😊 This week, let me take you to Alberobello in southern Italy! I went to Alberobello last year and intentionally dressed up all red for the visit. This charming and unique little town captured my interest when I saw Dolce & Gabbana’s 2023 fashion show from a magazine. I was mesmerised by the trulli aka white stone huts with grey, cone-shaped roofs. Alberobello looked like a small village in a fairytale! The magazine showed photos of models wearing amazing dresses and walking in the alley. Some of them looked even more stunning because of their…
