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…

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…

Sake Tasting, Hida Beef, and Temple Stay in Takayama
Hi, everyone! This week, I’ll take you to Takayama, an old town in Japan. This old town is different from big cities like Tokyo or Osaka, it feels so traditional. You’ll love it! ❤️✨👍 I stayed for one night at Temple Hotel Zenkoji in Takayama for sake tasting and sampling Hida beef. I’ll keep it short and sweet for the Japan temple stay as I already had a long review about one in Koyasan. If you don’t go to Koyasan, you can experience it in Takayama 😊 But first, let’s start with the sake tasting! Visitting Japan isn’t complete without tasting their alcoholic drinks, especially sake. There are three types…

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…

Less is More at S Paul Hotel, Limassol
Hello, everyone! I was in Cyprus for two weeks and am now happy to share with you about S Paul Hotel, a beautiful hotel where I stayed during my business trip in Limassol. First of all, special thanks to my Chief Marketing Officer, Alfonso Cardalda and Exness for organizing the business trip! Without the team building event, I would never had the chance to visit the offices in Cyprus. Also, thank you for the generous budget and freedom in allowing me to choose where to stay #blessed 😊🙏💛 Actually, I want to share with you about my Troodos Jeep Safari adventure this week, but there are too many photos to…

The Art of Taking Your Time in Geneva
Hello, friends! This week, I feel like sharing with you my express, one-day trip in Geneva. I didn’t explore the city much, but I enjoyed the slow pace. I went to Geneva during the summer of 2023. It was blazing hot and in some areas, the roads were completely empty like a ghost town. Maybe people opted to have a siesta to avoid the heat, hehe! I joined a group rail tour from Amsterdam to Barcelona, and we stopped in Geneva for one day. Since it was only for a day, I didn’t have a to-do list or must-visit restaurants. But one thing was for sure, I wanted to visit…

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,…
