Hi, guys! This week I will show you other exotic destinations in India: Kuchaman Haveli, the Blue City, and Mehrangarh Fort in Jodphur. In the previous post, we explored Jaipur, the Pink City. Now, let’s explore Jodhpur, the Blue City! 💙💙💙 Since Deepavali is coming soon, I think it’s good to build the hype, so I’m writing this blog post 😉 Besides, I want to show you the beautiful architecture at Kuchaman Haveli and Mehrangarh Fort. Oh ya, people call Jodhpur ‘the Blue City’ because there’s a neighbourhood of Brahmapuri where the houses are painted in blue. The whole area is similar to the Blue City in Morocco! I will…

Namaste, everyone! This week, let me take you to Jaipur, where we’ll watch a Bollywood movie at the Raj Mandir cinema, visit Galta-Ji, and admire the amazing architecture of the City Palace.

Delhi to Bikaner: You’ll be Surprised with This India Sleeper Train
Hi, everyone! It’s very hot in Malaysia these few days, so I’d like to reminisce about my India trip during winter. This time, I’ll show you what a sleeper train in India looks like, from Delhi to Bikaner. Soo… I went to India in January 2024. It was a chilly evening when the group tour had to take a sleeper train from Delhi to Bikaner. Speaking of trains in India, the scenes I saw on the TV and online haunted me. A crowd as packed as tuna in a can… with some people sitting on top of the train and others with half of their bodies out of the door……

Why Couples Should Travel to Udaipur, Venice of the East
Hello, February!💖 Since Valentine’s Day is coming soon, I’ll take you to Udaipur, the Venice of the East. Aand… it’s located in India! Alright, I know Italy and India are totally different.

Travel to India, Is It Safe? This is How I Feel
Hello everyone, Happy New Year! Last week I returned from my 14-day India trip, and it was incredible! ✨✨✨ Before the trip, I was very scared to travel to India because of the rape and murder news about some female travellers. However, India turns out to be safe. Heck, I even wandered alone a few times and was completely fine! When I returned to the office and shared about my trip, some colleagues (male and female) had the same perception as I had before – that the country isn’t safe. So, this week, I want to share my experience of travelling to India. Hopefully, this could open your mind and…

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…
