After a work trip to Zurich in early March, my colleague and I found ourselves with some free time before our night flight back to Singapore. We decided to take…

    Career Break Travel: Poprad & Bratislava

    May 18, 2019 /

    With only 2 nights in Poprad, we just didn’t have enough time to explore the city, let alone the mountains, fully. We’ll definitely have to come back to Slovakia to explore more of the country!

    Career Break Travel: Wroclaw, Krakow & Zakopane

    May 13, 2019 /

    We first knew about the pretty town of Wroclaw while scrolling through IG and knew that it had to be on our list. Since we were already going to be in Poland, we decided to tack on two other cities to our trip - Krakow and Zakopane.

    Career Break Travel: Prague, Cesky Krumlov & Kutna Hora

    May 9, 2019 /

    Hello, land of charming architecture and cheap beer! People always comment that Prague looks straight from a fairytale. But I think Cesky Krumlov looks more like one than Prague!

    Career Break Travel: Munich

    May 4, 2019 /

    This was it! The start of our trip! We chose Munich to kick off our 3-month trip because it was the closest to the countries we wanted to visit, and we'd accumulated enough miles for 2 one-way direct flights from Singapore.

    Top 3 Things to Do in Sapa & How to Get There

    June 23, 2018 /

    Sapa was a breath of fresh air from the crazy streets of Hanoi, and I mean that literally. The capital of Vietnam, as you already know as the city of motorbikes, was a stark contrast to the peaceful town of Sapa.

    Budget Breakdown: 9 Days in Palawan

    March 24, 2018 /

    Although there was supposed to be bad weather in January (which is when we visited Palawan), we were blessed with pretty dry weather and a few days of glorious blue skies! Thank goodness for that because all of our activities were outdoors and torrential rains would have ruined most of our plans.

    5 Activities to Do in Palawan if you Don’t Dive

    March 17, 2018 /

    What’s there to do in Palawan if you don’t dive? Plenty, as it turns out. Sure, you’ll be missing out on the gorgeous underwater life if you don’t know or learn how to dive. And Palawan IS known as a diver’s paradise. But if you’re afraid of deep, dark waters or scared of sea (or most) animals like me, you’ll still have lots to do in Palawan.

    Budget Breakdown: 4 Days in Haikou

    December 20, 2017 /

    The trip to Haikou was quite a random one. I wanted to surprise WJ with a (very belated) birthday trip, and the nearer countries were all in the midst of their rainy seasons. So I looked a little further and found Haikou, a 3.5 hour flight away. It has supposedly clear weather in November, albeit a little chilly.
