Alohaaa~ I’m back! Today, let me take you to Djawatan and Antaboga, two mystical destinations in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia ✨🌿✨ I went to Banyuwangi for 5D4N, then worked remotely in Indonesia for over a week. Afterwards, there was an issue with my internet router at home, so I can only update the blog now 😅 The main reason I wanted to visit Banyuwangi was to see the blue fire volcano, Ijen. Many travellers combine Mount Bromo (Surabaya) and Ijen in one trip, as both places are close. For me, rather than just witnessing the blue fire of Ijen, I’d rather stay a few days in Banyuwangi to explore other…

One Day in Pushkar, India
Hi, guys! I’ll be travelling to Indonesia soon, but before that, let me take you to Pushkar! Pushkar is a temple town in the state of Rajasthan, India. What to see and do in Pushkar? Although I didn’t do much there, surprisingly, I enjoyed my 2D1N stay in this small town! So, when I read the tour itinerary, the most anticipated activity in Pushkar was to be blessed by a local Brahmin on a holy lake. I’m not a Hindu, but I’m more than happy to receive good blessings! It turned out, there was more than just being blessed by a Brahmin here. Alright, let’s start our journey exploring Pushkar,…

Hotel Review: AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach, Labuan Bajo
Hi, guys! Today, let me share my review of AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach, Labuan Bajo. It’s a 5-star hotel with an amazing view, if you want to treat yourself after the exhausting komodo day trip 😉🌊☀️ When I went to Bali for the first time, I only had a small budget. But luckily, at that time, ringgit was very strong against rupiah, so I could book a spa session at AYANA Bali. The spa session came with a free entry + drink + snack at the Rock Bar. I had to use an elevator to go down and reach the bar because it was on top of a cliff! Ten…

Flores Overland Trip: What to Do in Bajawa
Hello, guys! Previously, I shared with you my Day 1 Flores overland trip, where we explored Ende. Now, let me take you to Bajawa! My Flores overland trip route:Ende > Bajawa > Ruteng > Labuan Bajo + Komodo National Park I was in Flores for 7D6N with my mother and sister. Before the trip, we had low expectations of the food, considering Flores was a remote island. We thought since it wasn’t as popular or developed as Bali, the food would be just okay. But during the trip, we were spoiled with delicious food! I’m not being biased here just because I’m an Indonesian, okay? Hehe… And Bajawa has a…

A Relaxing Walk in Zhaoxing Dong Village, Guizhou
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to Zhaoxing Dong Village, the last traditional village I visitted when I was in Guizhou, China. If you follow my blog, we’ve explored Wujiang Village and Miao Village. Both villages are developed and lively, with beautiful, Instagrammable views. In Zhaoxing Dong Village, you’ll feel a different atmosphere—a more authentic, village vibe. A quiet life and relaxing walks in the park, just being present… Not many group tours visit this village because it’s far (around 2-3 hours from Miao Village) and there’s not much to do. However, I feel this village has its charm ✨📸🤳 I don’t have many things to say about…

Meow-ing with the Miao Tribe in Miao Village, Guizhou
Meoow friends, thank you for dropping by my blog! This week, we’ll explore another exciting village in Guizhou: the Miao Village in Guizhou 😸😸😸 The name comes from the Miao tribe, which resides there. As it sounds like cats, the animal becomes a symbol not only in Miao Village, but also in Guizhou. That’s why you’ll see many cat icons in Guizhou, China! I stayed for one night in a comfortable homestay here. It was good that no big tourist buses could enter the village, so the area was less crowded and polluted. I was advised to pack clothes and necessary things for 3D2N in a small bag because the…

Guizhou Trip: Wujiang Village and Wujiang Zhailongwan Hotel
Hi, everyone! I just returned from Guizhou, China, three weeks ago. For the first blog post, let’s explore the charming Wujiang Village and Wujiang Zhailongwan Hotel! Fyi, this isn’t a paid post. I want to write about the hotel too because I like its interior design and had a pleasant stay 😊❤️✨ If you’re a Malaysian, please maximize your chance to explore China before the end of this year, since you won’t need a tourist visa. If you’re a non-Malaysian and are staying in Kuala Lumpur, THIS IS YOUR GOLDEN CHANCE to apply for a Chinese tourist visa conveniently 🔥🔥🔥 Guys, I’m serious. This is a PSA – public service…
