    Safari in Botlierskop Private Game Reserve, South Africa

    Hi, guys! This week, let me take you to a beautiful private game reserve in South Africa: Botlierskop. While Kruger National Park makes you feel like Indiana Jones ready to explore the unexpected, Botlierskop offers different excitement.

    The Great Barcelona Day Trip

    Is it weird writing about Barcelona day trip while listening to “Waka Waka” song? Well, that’s me, haha… I just can’t wait for my upcoming trip! ๐Ÿ˜โœจ Anyway, about the title of this week’s blog post. It was a great day for me because I felt so accomplished experiencing many things in one day. On my last day on tour, I had one whole free day to explore Barcelona. I maximised the opportunity to visit La Sagrada Familia, The Picasso Museum, Parc Gรผell, and La Rambla (revisitted). To end the day, I met the rest of the tour group in La Rambla then headed to a bar. You can imagine…

    Brussels Trip and Classy, Sassy, Moxy Hotel

    What would you do if you had one day in Brussels, Belgium? During my summer trip, my small group tour stayed for one night in Brussels. We didn’t do much but I’ll always remember the beer tasting and how stylish Moxy hotel were. We arrived in Brussels on the third day of the tour. Once we reached the destination, Aaron, my tour leader, went to get some tickets for us. I wasted no time to get myself a Belgium waffle while waiting for him ๐Ÿ˜ It tasted good! I always like Belgium waffles because the dough is chewy. I wish they used fresh cherries, though. We checked into our hotels…

    Houhai, Beijing: A Charming Travel Spot You Must Visit

    These days I’ve been eating Chinese food because I found a new favourite restaurant. Hence, this week, my memory takes me back to Houhai, a charming lake and travel spot in Beijing. Houhai, a lake surrounded by willow trees and neighbourhood, has been there since the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). It is one of the famous spots to relax and hangout for the locals, especially the nightlife. But to me, the place is most charming during sunset. The willow trees surrounding the lake will steal your heart. It’s so picturesque, straight from a storybook! Besides the beautiful scenery, there are many shops, bars and of course street food!! Alright, I don’t…

    A Rainy Day at Penglipuran, Bali, One of the World’s Cleanest Villages

    Two reasons that make Bali so enchanting to tourists even Indonesians are the culture and architecture. The architecture boasts a centuries-old style of design that’s heavily influenced by Bali’s Hindu tradition, especially the temples. If you’ve seen most of the temples in Bali, I encourage you to visit Penglipuran, Bangli, Bali. Recognised as the World’s Third Cleanest Village 2016 alongside Giethoorn (Netherlands) and Mawlynnong, the small village will definitely charm you. I heard about this village from my mom, who has been urging me to visit it. After a year or two, finally, I managed to see it with my own eyes. And with a plus-one ๐Ÿ˜‰ Penglipuran derives from…
