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…

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.…

What to Do in Limassol, Cyprus
Hi, guys! This week, let’s explore Limassol, Cyprus! I went to this island last year for a business trip, but only now I feel like writing about this city. Limassol is the second largest city in Cyprus (a small island near Greece and Egypt), which is perfect for those who like walking and relaxing. Think about a peaceful, calm, and healthy life! When I say ‘peaceful’, I really mean it… because there’s only 1 small shopping mall! It’s not a bustling city but a beautiful, small island. Limassol is a good destination for a temporary change if you live a hectic life. However, if you’re a foodie and prefer city…
