Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to the first stop of my Croatia island hopping tour: Makarska! This is my favourite town in Croatia because… you’ll see π Before writing this blog, I wrote about Salve Di Mare, an elegant small cruise that was my home at the sea for this 7D6N Croatia island hopping tour. Usually, people go for Greek island hopping, but why did I choose Croatia island hopping? I have a few reasons: On 27 April 2024, the cruise departed from Split.The route: Split – Makarska – Korcula – Mljet – Dubrovnik – Hvar – Split We only stayed for one night in each town,…

I will also show you my beautiful apartment, built on a historical Diocletian Palace β¨β¨β¨ If you read my previous blog post, I shared that I went to Croatia because of Maksim Mrvica, my favourite piano player. After I checked into my apartment in Split, the first thing I did was went to Ε ibenik, his hometown! It was a short day trip because I reached the lovely town in the afternoon, plus it was raining. However, I managed to visit the main square and had a really nice gelato, which was enough…

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…

Jiuzhaigou, A Dream Destination for Nature Lovers
Hi, friends! This week, let me take you to Jiuzhaigou, a dream destination for nature lovers. It’s another stunning place to satisfy your eyes, mind, and soul ποΈπΏπ If you read my previous blog about Huanglong, you’ll know I struggled to breathe because of the altitude. Don’t worry, Jiuzhaigou isn’t as high as Huanglong, so most people don’t experience altitude sickness. Actually, Huanglong is the northern end of Jiuzhaigou. People who come to Jiuzhaigou will go to Huanglong too because they’re near. That’s why I wrote about the more difficult trip first before posting this one, hehe! π If you love nature and have a limited budget, both places are…

Why Couples Should Travel to Udaipur, Venice of the East
Hello, February!π 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 πππ 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! β¨β¨β¨ 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…
