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. India is one of my favorite countries. I don’t mind coming back because of these four things: food, culture, architecture, and hospitality. Oh, don’t get me started with its garlic butter naan and butter masala chicken… 🤤😍🤤 After arriving in Jaipur, my One Life Adventures group tour checked in at our lovely accommodation, Suryaa Villa. It’s a boutique heritage haveli, so the exterior and interior designs were exotic 📸 Aand… my room was super big!!! Since I was…

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. I love Venice, it’s charming and exudes a lovey-dovey vibe, with romantic gondola rides and fancy restaurants near the canals… What about Udaipur? I also love Udaipur, but I don’t know how to describe it in words. Udaipur has a different charm… it’s exotic. The calm, serene city walk… My lovely heritage-style hotel, the delicious lunch at a cute cafe near the lake, the amazing architecture and interior design, and the sunset boat ride are 😍😍😍 Ah, right!…

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…
