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.…

The Impulsive Travel Bookings That I Don’t Regret
As a Capricorn, I tend to stick to my budgets and goals. However, when I heard the news about Malaysia will reopen its international border on 1 April 2022, like many people, I wasn’t immune to revenge travel. But I have no regrets 😛 My impulsive travel bookings happened on 11 March 2022. The night before, I had a small misunderstanding with my mother. After things straightened up, I looked at her photo and suddenly realised that… my mother was getting old. When my mother was in her 30s, she was very beautiful. Well, she still looks beautiful to me now. But she sacrificed a lot for me, and surviving…

Traditional Dance and Damro Tea Centre, Sri Lanka
I miss the taste of tea. To celebrate the Lent* season, I decided to give up my favourite drink for 40 days. It was tough for the first few days but now I’m used to it. Luckily, I have this blog as a medium to recall and share my experience when visitting the Damro Tea Centre in Sri Lanka. I will also share some photos of the Sri Lankan traditional dance that I saw the day before. Ceylon tea tastes good, especially when you pair it with Sri Lankan dishes. The dishes here are similar to Indian cuisine — it’s delicious, flavourful, spicy but sometimes oily. Therefore, having a cup…
