    Safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa

    Hi friends, thank you for reading this blog 🤗 Last week we saw what safari in a private game reserve looked like. This week, let’s explore the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa! If you think Botlierskop private game reserve is huge, wait until you see Kruger National Park. Did you know that this park is as big as Israel? With such a huge space, limited time, and hopefully, a stroke of luck, maybe you’ll see the Big 5 in one day. Or at least some of them. So, to minimise your disappointment, I strongly recommend you go for a full-day safari(s) when in Kruger National Park. I mean,…

    Admiring God’s Wonderful Creations in South Africa

    There are many beautiful countries that I’ve travelled to but I don’t know why, when I was in South Africa, I couldn’t stop thanking God that I was able to see this beautiful country with my own eyes. Not only blessed with fertile soil, exotic culture, and amazing wildlife, South Africa is also home to stunning views. I was enchanted by God’s wonderful creations! Visitting the country reminds me what a genius artist He is… In this blog post, I will share a few destinations in South Africa with amazing views. I won’t reveal them all in one post because some places have their own story that I want to…

    Safari & South Africa Budget Trip: How Much You Need

    Hi friends, I’m back! After spending 14 days in South Africa, finally, I’m starting to get used to my normal routine. By the way, South Africa is FANTASTIC!! ❤️🤩💯 Before I went on the trip, a friend told me that safari and South Africa were on his bucket list. He asked if I could share how much I spent for the trip, so he could create a savings plan to realise the dream. Talking about safari, I know many people associate it with Kenya and think that they need to spend a fortune for the trip. Actually, there are many parks in Africa where you can do game drives aka…

    The Great Barcelona Day Trip

    Is it weird writing about Barcelona day trip while listening to “Waka Waka” song? Well, that’s me, haha… I just can’t wait for my upcoming trip! 😁✨ Anyway, about the title of this week’s blog post. It was a great day for me because I felt so accomplished experiencing many things in one day. On my last day on tour, I had one whole free day to explore Barcelona. I maximised the opportunity to visit La Sagrada Familia, The Picasso Museum, Parc Güell, and La Rambla (revisitted). To end the day, I met the rest of the tour group in La Rambla then headed to a bar. You can imagine…

    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…
