    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…

    Croatia Cruise Review: Salve Di Mare

    Hi, everyone! This week, I want to share my amazing Croatia island-hopping experience on Salve Di Mare, a beautiful and elegant small cruise. As much as I love boarding on cruises and marveling at the sea every day, it feels good to return to Malaysia after a month’s break. Actually, I just wanted to go to Croatia but there’s no Croatian embassy in Kuala Lumpur. So, I decided to also visit South Italy and apply for a multiple-entry Schengen visa from the Italian embassy. This trip happened thanks to my favourite piano player, Maksim Mrvica, who inspired me to visit his home country, Croatia. It was one of the best…

    Hermanus & Almost Whale Watching, South Africa

    This week, I feel like taking you to Hermanus, South Africa, and show you how beautiful this seaside town is. This is thanks to how I currently feel while writing this blog post — serene yet wavy like the ocean, waiting for the day I meet my childhood crush (fangirling over Maksim Mrvica) 🎹🙈❤️ I decided to come to South Africa in October because it was the season for whale watching. Travellers would flock to Hermanus, boarding a ship to see the whales, sharks, and other marine animals up close. On the way to Hermanus, I kept replaying Michael Jackson’s song “Will You Be There” and the scene when Willy…

    Admiring God’s Wonderful Creations in South Africa

    There are many beautiful countries that I’ve travelled to but I don’t know why, when I was in South Africa, I couldn’t stop thanking God that I was able to see this beautiful country with my own eyes. Not only blessed with fertile soil, exotic culture, and amazing wildlife, South Africa is also home to stunning views. I was enchanted by God’s wonderful creations! Visitting the country reminds me what a genius artist He is… In this blog post, I will share a few destinations in South Africa with amazing views. I won’t reveal them all in one post because some places have their own story that I want to…

    Vitamin Sea in Porto & How Financial Goals Saved Me

    I didn’t expect that many people enjoy reading my previous post. One friend even messaged me saying that it’s so refreshing. So I guess in unprecedented times (or stressful, to some) like this, you’d like to see a similar post. This week, let me take you to Porto, an enchanting coastal city in northwest Portugal and share how my financial goals saved me. P.S.: the girl on the cover photo is not me, but I like how her pink hair is contrasting with the blue sea hehe… Porto: Sea, Wine Tasting and Sardines I had only two days in Portugal – one in Lisbon, one in Porto. Of course, one…
