Hi, guys! This week, let me take you to the beautiful Krka National Park and Trogir day trip from Split, Croatia ✨✨✨ If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, visiting Split will be worth it because there are buses and local tour operators that will take you on day trips around Croatia. So, you wouldn’t fly from far, far away just to see the filming location but it’s also easy to arrange day trips from the city 😉 Split itself isn’t that big, especially if you stay near what used to be the Diocletian Palace. For the Krka National Park and Trogir day trip from Split, actually I booked…

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.…

Free Kuala Lumpur Walking Tour: East-West Connection
As an expat, I’ve been to many places in Kuala Lumpur but I don’t really know the history of it. If that’s also the case with you, why not join a free tip-based KL walking tour?

Where should we go this week, amigos? What about a historical day trip to the Che Guevara Mausoleum in Santa Clara and some interesting destinations in Cienfuegos? April is coming soon! It’s always a special month because back in 2018, I took the longest flight ever to Cuba. If you fly to Cuba just for Havana, trust me, you’ll REGRET it. The country is famous for its history, with Che Guevara Mausoleum as one of the must-visit destinations. Santa Clara was founded in 1689 by families who were running from pirate threats in coastal Remedios. Besides the memorial place, I’ll also take you to Cienfuegos, a small town about 1…

Beautiful Budapest, Where I Left My Heart in 2015
I’ll never forget the joy when I starred on my very first Schengen visa in 2015. After all, it was granted by the German Embassy in Kuala Lumpur with much effort! That year, I embarked on my first Europe trip and lost my heart to Budapest. The inspiration to write this post came after I booked my 2020 Balkan trip. Due to my financial limitation, I never want to return to the same country until I travelled to all of the countries in the world. But, my beloved city turns out to be on the list! When you visit Budapest, you’ll understand why it’s easy to fall in love. The…

5 Things People Got Wrong About Joining Tours
I agree that when we arrange our own trip, we’ll have total freedom. However, what’s bugging me is when some people think they’re better travellers because they arrange their own trips. They got the wrong impression about joining tours! It’s like the traveller snobs. Perhaps they forget to check the dictionary that “tourist” is the synonym of “traveller”? I have some reasons to arrange a private tour or join a tour, but the strongest reason is to help me attain the tourist visas. That’s how I got my very first Schengen Visa, even though I was in a complicated situation. This article isn’t about boosting the benefit of joining a…
