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,…

Soweto Day Trip, Mandela House and more in South Africa
Hallo, hallo everyone! This week, let me take you back to South Africa for a Soweto day trip, including Nelson Mandela’s house. When it comes to South Africa, people think of safari, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. However, Soweto, a township in Gauteng, Johannesburg is not to be missed. I extended one day so I could join this Soweto day trip where I could: So, this day trip was more about a history and culture trip. Yes, it’s a small group tour. But I like joining a group tour when visitting a destination for the first time, so I can understand the story behind what I see 😊 Visitting Nelson…

Malaysia Day Trip: Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)
Alohaaa, friends! This week, let me take you on a Malaysia day trip to Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)🦀😊 Last week, my auntie and uncle visited me. It wasn’t their first time in Malaysia, they’d seen the city and some places. So, we decided to visit Pulau Ketam for a change of scenery. In the previous blog post, I shared with you my favourite seafood restaurants. Pulau Ketam was also famous for its fresh and affordable seafood, especially crabs! To reach this island, first, you have to go to Pelabuhan Klang (Port Klang), then buy return tickets to board a small ship to the island. Return tickets cost you RM20, while…

Vietnam Day Trip: Tam Chuc Pagoda
Hi, friends! I hope you’re doing well so far, it’s already the middle of the month 😁 This week, I’ll take you for a day trip to Vietnam to see Tam Chuc Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in the world. Prepare your walking shoes, jacket, and hat for the long walk! I went to see this famous Buddhist temple with my mom and sister. One of the perks of joining a group tour is you can visit far far away places without having to worry about transportation. According to Google, it takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hanoi to Tam Chuc Pagoda. It was a wonderful day…
