Career Break Travel: Budapest
The main thing that struck us about Budapest was how photogenic it was. The buildings were all so beautiful and had such incredible detail. We spent most of our time exploring them on foot.

Career Break Travel: Poprad & Bratislava
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
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
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
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.

Budget Breakdown: 9 Days in Palawan
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
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
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.

Gunma is the Secret Escape that Everyone has Forgotten
Barely 3 hours away, Gunma is a convenient getaway from the bustling Tokyo city very much like how Hua Hin is an escape from Bangkok. But unlike Hua Hin, the prefecture has a rather “unpopular” reputation amongst locals that there’s nothing much to do there. I beg to differ. There’s so many things to see and do, so how did this impression come about? I guess it’s just really the lack of marketing.
