Vietnamese food is delicious. Flavorful, cheap, colorful and has so many different varieties. On my previous trip I had really enjoyed the food and was looking forward to trying some new things this time. Going through the old town, sitting on the small stools in the small shops is quite an experience. But since I…

Luang Prabang, Laos
We took a 4 day trip to Laos and the only city on our itinerary was Luang Prabang. We wanted a nice relaxing trip and I wasn’t too keen on going to Vientiane since it sounded just like the other capitals. We decided to fly through Bangkok after looking at all the other options (flying…
Yangon, Myanmar
Myanmar (Burma) was a very interesting experience. I didn’t know what to expect since the country has been closed off for so long to the outside world but hearing all the recent news about the direction towards democracy and Aung Sang Suu Kyi had me intrigued so we booked a short trip to Yangon (only…
Phnom Penh
I had been wanting to visit Phnom Penh so when my friend, Roya told me she was living there for a few months I decided to take the opportunity since its always a better experience when someone is showing you around. It was a quick last minute 24 hour trip but I got to see everything…
The Angkor Temples
Over the long weekend I went to Siem Reap to see the mighty Angkor temples. It was such an adventure! From climbing across the ruins of temples and hiking up the jungle to see carvings in the river, it was such a magnificent experience. The Cambodian people are so incredibly nice and we got very…
Delhi in a flash

I love exploring new shopping areas so this time I checked out Greater Kailesh I (GK) market also known as M Block. I loved this area with it’s tree lined streets and cute boutique shops. I would highly recommed…
Mount Bromo – 28 hours in Indonesia
1pm (Saturday) – our flight leaves from Singapore to Surabaya, we are off to see Mount Bromo – an active volcano! It is a 2 hour flight and goes fairly smoothly. We’ve booked all of our accommodation and trip through our guesthouse so after landing we see a man holding up a sign with our…
Phi Phi Islands
Longtail boat, ferry boat, mini van, plane, taxi. This was my day today coming back from the Phi Phi Islands! The islands are truly spectacular with clear warm water in every shade of blue & green and unspoiled white soft sandy beaches. This was one of my favorite trips yet, the beauty was breathtaking and…
Yogyakarta
Last weekend I went to Indonesia for the first time. I flew from Singapore to Yogyakarta via Jakarta. I was supposed to have a 1 hour layover in Jakarta but of course my flight was delayed by 1 hour in Singapore so I barely made my 2nd flight. But to make up for it I…
Cameron Highlands
We went to Cameron Highlands last weekend. I definitely need to come back to this place because it is one of the few places in SE Asia that is a hill station with cooler weather and rain. Reminded me so much of home with all the greenery and fog and it was absolutely fantastic to…
