    A Relaxing Walk in Zhaoxing Dong Village, Guizhou

    Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to Zhaoxing Dong Village, the last traditional village I visitted when I was in Guizhou, China. If you follow my blog, we’ve explored Wujiang Village and Miao Village. Both villages are developed and lively, with beautiful, Instagrammable views. In Zhaoxing Dong Village, you’ll feel a different atmosphereβ€”a more authentic, village vibe. A quiet life and relaxing walks in the park, just being present… Not many group tours visit this village because it’s far (around 2-3 hours from Miao Village) and there’s not much to do. However, I feel this village has its charm βœ¨πŸ“ΈπŸ€³ I don’t have many things to say about…

    Meow-ing with the Miao Tribe in Miao Village, Guizhou

    Meoow friends, thank you for dropping by my blog! This week, we’ll explore another exciting village in Guizhou: the Miao Village in Guizhou 😸😸😸 The name comes from the Miao tribe, which resides there. As it sounds like cats, the animal becomes a symbol not only in Miao Village, but also in Guizhou. That’s why you’ll see many cat icons in Guizhou, China! I stayed for one night in a comfortable homestay here. It was good that no big tourist buses could enter the village, so the area was less crowded and polluted. I was advised to pack clothes and necessary things for 3D2N in a small bag because the…

    Hi, friends! Today, let me take you on a slow travel on a rainy day in Hvar, Croatia. I’m so in the mood to write this blog post because… last weekend was HOT, HOT, HOT in Malaysia πŸ₯΅β˜€οΈπŸ˜‚ One of the beautiful days I had in Croatia was surprisingly… a rainy day in Hvar.

Just watched the rain poured down, enjoyed the breeze, and listened to the music… If I were at home or work, I would be in front of my laptop or busy doing other things.…

    What to See in Samosir Island, Indonesia

    Hi, everyone! I’m excited to introduce you to another interesting destination in Indonesia: Samosir, an island in Lake Toba, Sumatra! Life in Samosir Island is very quiet and slow-paced. Usually, European tourists come here during summer to admire Lake Toba and explore the island with motorcycles. Besides enjoying the scenery, there are some historical places, the tallest Christ statue in the world, traditional markets, and more to see on this island. To explore Samosir leisurely, you can stay 2-3 days on the island and rent a private tour guide+car or motorcycle. How to Get to Samosir Island, Indonesia First, take a flight to Medan then take a taxi to Parapat.…

    Turning Alberobello Into a Runway

    Happy New Year, friends! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ I did some decluttering before the NYE, what about you? 😊 This week, let me take you to Alberobello in southern Italy! I went to Alberobello last year and intentionally dressed up all red for the visit. This charming and unique little town captured my interest when I saw Dolce & Gabbana’s 2023 fashion show from a magazine. I was mesmerised by the trulli aka white stone huts with grey, cone-shaped roofs. Alberobello looked like a small village in a fairytale! The magazine showed photos of models wearing amazing dresses and walking in the alley. Some of them looked even more stunning because of their…

    What to Do in Limassol, Cyprus

    Hi, guys! This week, let’s explore Limassol, Cyprus! I went to this island last year for a business trip, but only now I feel like writing about this city. Limassol is the second largest city in Cyprus (a small island near Greece and Egypt), which is perfect for those who like walking and relaxing. Think about a peaceful, calm, and healthy life! When I say ‘peaceful’, I really mean it… because there’s only 1 small shopping mall! It’s not a bustling city but a beautiful, small island. Limassol is a good destination for a temporary change if you live a hectic life. However, if you’re a foodie and prefer city…
