    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!…

    Cyprus Day Trip: Troodos Mountains Jeep Safari Tour

    Hi, guys! This week, let’s explore the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus, on a jeep! This is one of the most exciting Cyprus day trips that I had in September 2023. But before that, Merry Christmas to everyone who’s celebrating! And thank you, Exness, for paying for my flight and accommodation during the 1-week business trip 🙏🙏🙏 If it weren’t for the business trip, I wouldn’t think of visitting Cyprus. Since the return flight tickets and hotel are paid for by the company, of course, I HAVE TO explore this country! 🤩🤩🤩 I just had to cover the accommodation for my extension. Luckily, I found a decent room in the heart of…

    Japan Temple Stay: Daimyoo-in, Koyasan

    Hi, friends! Have you heard about Japan temple stay? This week, let me show you around the beautiful Daimyoo-in temple, located in Koyasan. Btw, sorry for the 1-month break. I just returned from Japan and China, back-to-back 🙈🙉🙊 I thought I would be fine, but I was exhausted… Luckily, I could sleep well because my AirAsia X airplane to China looked like THIS: Another curious passenger who sat behind me asked the steward about the airplane. Oh, it turned out AirAsia bought the airplane from Singapore Airlines. I felt so blessed I could cry… Thank you, Jesus!😭😭😭 Okay, back to the topic! What is Japan temple stay? Instead of staying…

    Sampan Ride in Tam Coc River, Vietnam

    Happy August, friends! We’re entering the 8th month of the year. How’s 2023 for you so far? 😉 This week, I’ll take you for a sampan ride in Tam Coc River, Vietnam. Sampan is a small boat with a flat bottom that is commonly used in Asia. Think about the small boats that you see in Bangkok’s floating market. If it doesn’t ring a bell, I’ll show you what sampan looks like soon, hehe! If you’ve been following my blog, you may remember that I love the sea and everything related to it – underwater restaurants, cruise holidays, island-hopping, and of course, sampan rides! Whenever I look at the sea,…

    Malaysia Day Trip: Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)

    Alohaaa, friends! This week, let me take you on a Malaysia day trip to Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)🦀😊 Last week, my auntie and uncle visited me. It wasn’t their first time in Malaysia, they’d seen the city and some places. So, we decided to visit Pulau Ketam for a change of scenery. In the previous blog post, I shared with you my favourite seafood restaurants. Pulau Ketam was also famous for its fresh and affordable seafood, especially crabs! To reach this island, first, you have to go to Pelabuhan Klang (Port Klang), then buy return tickets to board a small ship to the island. Return tickets cost you RM20, while…

    Hi, friends! I hope you’re doing well so far, it’s already the middle of the month 😁 This week, I’ll take you for a day trip to Vietnam to see Tam Chuc Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in the world. Prepare your walking shoes, jacket, and hat for the long walk! I went to see this famous Buddhist temple with my mom and sister. One of the perks of joining a group tour is you can visit far far away places without having to worry about transportation. According to Google, it takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hanoi to Tam Chuc Pagoda. It was a wonderful day…

    Overseas Wedding Invitation: Yes or No?

    Hi everyone, I hope you had productive days this week. It’s almost Friday, woohoo!! 🎉💃🕺 Actually, I wanted to share with you my Amsterdam trip this week but something changed my mind. First, let me ask you a question: if you get a wedding invitation but it’s overseas, will you go? Okay, let’s flashback a bit. I was scrolling Facebook until I saw my friend post images of how each zodiac sign apologises. I laughed so hard on the train 🤣🤣🤣 Of course, the image above is meant to be a joke. I’ll share with you the rest of the images later on. So, back to the topic. That image…

    Safari & South Africa Budget Trip: How Much You Need

    Hi friends, I’m back! After spending 14 days in South Africa, finally, I’m starting to get used to my normal routine. By the way, South Africa is FANTASTIC!! ❤️🤩💯 Before I went on the trip, a friend told me that safari and South Africa were on his bucket list. He asked if I could share how much I spent for the trip, so he could create a savings plan to realise the dream. Talking about safari, I know many people associate it with Kenya and think that they need to spend a fortune for the trip. Actually, there are many parks in Africa where you can do game drives aka…
