    Croatia Island Hopping: Korcula and Mljet National Park

    Hi, everyone! Where do you want to go next? What about island hopping in Croatia? This week, I’ll take you to Korcula and Mljet National Park! 🌿✨🌊 Honestly, I don’t have many things to say about my Croatia island hopping trip because… the towns are very small and I was there for just one night in each town. However, when you read this blog post, I hope to give you a virtual tour experience in Korcula and Mljet National Park 😊 Ah, actually, I spent two nights in Korcula! That was because Mljet National Park was small and only two restaurants were there. Plus, the sea was a bit rough…

    Hi, everyone! It’s been a long time since I wrote a personal finance blog. This week, let me give you an update about me behind the scene, 2024 edition 😄 Wow, I can’t believe it’s been three years since I wrote Wanderlust Behind the Scene in 2021. In just three years my life has changed for the better. Thank you so much, Jesus!!! If you haven’t read the first version of this blog, it’s here. This update is to give you insights into my version of “Instagram vs Reality”. You may see that I’m always travelling on IG but it doesn’t mean I’m a chaebol, very successful, etc… To sum…

    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…

    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,…

    On Relationships: The Dormmamu Loop and Abundance Mindset

    Hello, friends! This week, I want to rant. No, just kidding 😂 I recently stop seeing someone and want to share my thoughts. Perhaps some of you are struggling with relationships, who knows this article somewhat relates to you… I won’t mention his name or go into details to protect his privacy. After all, I like him and wish him well, though we don’t end up together. We can like someone but be incompatible. Life happens. Okay… I’ll start by sharing some of my “HAA??😦” moments. There were times when I literally went “HAA??😦” inside when we were together. I don’t know how to explain them to you, so I’ll…
