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…

Bali Trip: Why You Should Choose Unpopular Hotels During Peak Seasons
It’s the second week of January 2023 but who’s still in a holiday mood? 🙋♀️🙋♂️Don’t worry! When you focus on your job, summer won’t be too far, hehe! If you’re a conscious spender like me and are planning to travel to Bali during peak seasons, I suggest you stay in unpopular hotels over popular ones. Last Christmas, I finally realised my dream to stay in a five-star hotel in Nusa Dua. I heard that the big hotels in that area were gorgeous, so I couldn’t wait for my stay. But I found out that the experience wasn’t fully satisfying, compared to my expectation and the money spent. Staying in Popular…

White and Blue Christmas at Koral Restaurant, Apurva Kempinski Bali
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you had a great holiday and Christmas (for those who are celebrating)🎉🎉🎉 I had a memorable Christmas celebration with my mother and sister at Koral Restaurant, a fine dining restaurant under the sea. Since the restaurant was inside Apurva Kempinski Bali, we also stayed for one night there. This white and blue Christmas dinner was part of my impulsive travel bookings that I didn’t regret. If you’ve been following my blog, you may remember that in early 2022, I made some impulsive travel bookings. There were consequences to my actions, of course. I was always careful with my spending, but because of my impulsiveness,…

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. I was happy that my tour package included a 3-hour safari in Botlierskop, so I could experience both. A short safari here felt relaxing and very comfortable, thanks to the luxurious lounge, great services, and magnificent view of Outeniqua Mountains. Safari: Our Lucky Day in Botlierskop Private Game Reserve, South Africa Some of you may think that sitting on a jeep for three hours is a long time, but in fact, it’s pretty…

I won’t reveal them all in one post because some places have their own story that I want to…

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…

Poland Trip: Warsaw Rising Museum & Walking Tour
I spent 1.5 days in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2018. The days were cold and of course, that amount of time wasn’t enough to explore the whole city. But overall, when I looked back, I still remember the happy memory and it warmed my heart. In this blog post, I will take you to the Warsaw Rising Museum, see a Chopin bench, and show you what I saw during the free walking tour. Also read: “Clara and the Chasing Grandma of Christiania, Copenhagen” The Warsaw Rising Museum, Poland I didn’t know what kind of facial expression I should show when I was taking the cover photo for this blog post.…

The Impulsive Travel Bookings That I Don’t Regret
As a Capricorn, I tend to stick to my budgets and goals. However, when I heard the news about Malaysia will reopen its international border on 1 April 2022, like many people, I wasn’t immune to revenge travel. But I have no regrets 😛 My impulsive travel bookings happened on 11 March 2022. The night before, I had a small misunderstanding with my mother. After things straightened up, I looked at her photo and suddenly realised that… my mother was getting old. When my mother was in her 30s, she was very beautiful. Well, she still looks beautiful to me now. But she sacrificed a lot for me, and surviving…
