What would you do if you had one day in Brussels, Belgium? During my summer trip, my small group tour stayed for one night in Brussels. We didn’t do much but I’ll always remember the beer tasting and how stylish Moxy hotel were. We arrived in Brussels on the third day of the tour. Once we reached the destination, Aaron, my tour leader, went to get some tickets for us. I wasted no time to get myself a Belgium waffle while waiting for him 😍 It tasted good! I always like Belgium waffles because the dough is chewy. I wish they used fresh cherries, though. We checked into our hotels…

A Lovely Stay in Alpenrose Hotel and Gardens, Switzerland
I don’t usually write hotel reviews unless the stay was superb. Although I only had two nights in Switzerland, I really enjoyed my stay at Alpenrose Hotel and Gardens. But first, let me show you some photos of what boarding on a proper Swiss train looked like, the one that I enjoyed (not like the crowded one in the previous post) 😊 Alpenrose Hotel and Gardens is a unique, quaint, and charming hotel with its mini water fountain and gardens. If you wish to truly blend in with the natural vibe that this country offers, skip the modern-looking hotels and choose this one instead. Okay, let me show you my…

Nice Trip: The Mademoiselle of Monte Carlo
When in France, there are many interesting places to visit. This week, let me take you for a short walk in Nice and Monte Carlo. At the time I’m writing this blog, it’s been more than two weeks since I returned from my summer holiday. But I’m still experiencing post-holiday blues. I miss them… My travel friends. The sun, the sea, and the beauty of Nice and Monte Carlo ❤️🛳️🌊 Ah, for your information, Nice is in France while Monte Carlo is in Monaco. Yes, Monaco is another country! And Monte Carlo is the most famous district in Monaco, especially for its casino, private yachts, supercars, and glam life 💶✨🎲…

Eiffel… I’m in Love
When I was in primary school, I wanted to go to Paris and became a fashion designer. But then I realised that I didn’t have the talent to be one. Nevertheless, Paris was always my dream destination until I realised the trip at 31 years old. Apparently, the childhood dream was never buried but postponed. Me and the tour group arrived in Paris on 13 July 2022 by train. After we dropped our luggages at the hotel, we went to a fancy restaurant for included lunch. I never thought that the budget tour operator, Expat Explore, would take us to such a nice place! Cafe Louise didn’t only have a…

Cheese Tasting at Clara Maria Cheese Farm & Clog Factory, Netherlands
This week, let me take you to the Netherlands to visit Clara Maria Cheese Farm & Clog Factory! On Saturday, I went to Pavilion Mall and had a chance to sample a very nice cheese biscuit hence the inspiration for this week’s blog post 😋🧀 The name of the shop was Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory (even the name sounds yummy!) and I tasted their salt & camembert biscuit. The biscuit was milky and the cheese in the middle was thick. It was pure bliss💖💖💖 Of course, with such quality, the price of the biscuit wasn’t cheap. The biscuit is sold at RM45 for 10 pieces (at the time this article…

Viñales Day Trip: Tobacco Farm and Cuban Cigars
Attention: The photo above is for illustration purposes only. Yes, I really mean it because I don’t know how to smoke 😂 When you travel from far, far away to Cuba, of course, you wouldn’t want to miss the Viñales day trip and see a tobacco farm with your own eyes. After all, Cuban cigars are sought after by cigar aficionados. Who cares if I can’t smoke, maybe I would have some luck with cigars, lol… The blog post for this week is inspired by an attractive man who appreciates fine cars and smokes vape. Danke schön mister, for the inspiration! ❤️ From Havana to Viñales, by Ford 1954 It…

It’s Back to Normal But I Feel Tired Easily
I feel tired easily if I spend the whole day outside. It’s been back to normal in Malaysia since May 2022 and I should be happy, but then I found out about this. What about you? Do you feel the same? For example, in my old routine, I woke up at 7:30 am, went to the office and finished all tasks, then head straight to the gym or home. On the weekends, I could go to the gym and hang out outside for the whole day or write articles. No problemo. That was life before Covid-19 lockdown. During the lockdown or work from home, I would wake up at 8…

Poland Trip: Warsaw Rising Museum & Walking Tour
I spent 1.5 days in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2018. The days were cold and of course, that amount of time wasn’t enough to explore the whole city. But overall, when I looked back, I still remember the happy memory and it warmed my heart. In this blog post, I will take you to the Warsaw Rising Museum, see a Chopin bench, and show you what I saw during the free walking tour. Also read: “Clara and the Chasing Grandma of Christiania, Copenhagen” The Warsaw Rising Museum, Poland I didn’t know what kind of facial expression I should show when I was taking the cover photo for this blog post.…
