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 🏔️🌿💖 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! 😉 If you love nature and have a limited budget, both places are…

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…

Cyprus Day Trip: Troodos Mountains Jeep Safari Tour
Hi, guys! This week, let’s explore the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus, on a jeep! This is one of the most exciting Cyprus day trips that I had in September 2023. But before that, Merry Christmas to everyone who’s celebrating! And thank you, Exness, for paying for my flight and accommodation during the 1-week business trip 🙏🙏🙏 If it weren’t for the business trip, I wouldn’t think of visitting Cyprus. Since the return flight tickets and hotel are paid for by the company, of course, I HAVE TO explore this country! 🤩🤩🤩 I just had to cover the accommodation for my extension. Luckily, I found a decent room in the heart of…

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…

Sampan Ride in Tam Coc River, Vietnam
Happy August, friends! We’re entering the 8th month of the year. How’s 2023 for you so far? 😉 This week, I’ll take you for a sampan ride in Tam Coc River, Vietnam. Sampan is a small boat with a flat bottom that is commonly used in Asia. Think about the small boats that you see in Bangkok’s floating market. If it doesn’t ring a bell, I’ll show you what sampan looks like soon, hehe! If you’ve been following my blog, you may remember that I love the sea and everything related to it – underwater restaurants, cruise holidays, island-hopping, and of course, sampan rides! Whenever I look at the sea,…
