REVIEW: Swiio Hotel, Da’an District, Taipei, Taiwan

November 8, 2018

My greatest travel tip for Taiwan has always been this: don’t stay in Airbnbs or branded hotels.  Taiwan has always been one of those countries that does boutique hotels really well. And how I find these boutique hotels is by going on Tripadvisor and picking the branches in the Top 10 that not only have…

Korean Air Moves to T4 – A Wanderlust Revival

August 16, 2017

Just earlier today, I was thinking about being 40,000ft away from everyone and their bullshit and then this came in my email – I’m not sure if it’s a targeted promotion but this has piqued my interest to try the spanking new Terminal 4. I’ve been excited about it ever since PM Lee posted photos…

Oh, For the Love of Flying

July 22, 2017

People often balk when I say the company doesn’t pay for my travel despite me going on business trips – and it’s true, I often end up paying for my own accommodation on top of the company’s assigned hotels, and on occasion I’ve even flown overseas to do work on my own money as well.

Trip Report: Eastin Grand Hotel Saigon

May 20, 2017

On my fourth trip to Ho Chi Minh recently, I finally found an analogy for the city’s traffic: think of it as Orchard Road, and every vehicle is a human body. People surround you, and the only way to navigate through the mass of vehicles/bodies is to say excuse me. And yes, the horn is actually…

Trip Report: Long Weekend at Lexis Hibiscus

May 12, 2017

Jean: “Where are you?” Me: “I’m at Lexis Hibiscus.” Jean: “Huh?! The one at Port Dickson?” Me: “Yeah, why?” Jean: “I THOUGHT YOU SAY YOU GO MELAKA?! WHY YOU NEVER TELL ME? I wanted to go! :(((” When the traveller best friend says such things, I usually have extremely high hopes for the place – simply…

Trip Report: Weekend Getaway at The Trans Villa Bali

January 28, 2017

I’ve never been one for those tough-it-out holidays – and so for my 21st I knew I definitely wanted somewhere where I could chill out in comfort (not luxury, comfort) and relative seclusion. Mainly wanted to catch up on my reads, paint, work.. you know the drill, it’s the same whereever I go. Bali wasn’t…

Best Apps for Seoul: Subway 지하철

May 29, 2016

Korea’s subway system is kickass. Trains that arrive on time, are clean, travel fast, have racks for you to put your bags on, segregated carriages for those who need seats – I was so impressed by their system while I was there. Taking the train no longer felt like a drag, I actually enjoyed my commute.…

Eating in Seoul: 명동교자 Myeongdong Gyoza

May 26, 2016

In Seoul, I have this little ritual every Friday. I have a fixed route that I take that brings me from Gangnam to Myeongdong to Sinchon and ends at Hongdae. These are my favourite hangout spots, and Myeongdong is usually the one that holds me up for hours on end.

Best Apps for Seoul: Introduction

May 23, 2016

WordPress.com has now officially implemented their paid plans – which means I have only 3GB of space for images on the free plan. What a bad time to be uploading image-heavy app posts! In any case, all the apps pictured above are apps that I found immensely useful in Korea. I’ll be doing a quick…
