A hopeless romantic, I admit I’m one of those girls who still dreams of meeting someone special while traveling on a train after watching Before Sunrise. In my recent #CakesinEurope adventure, I had the chance to ride a train solo from Vienna to Prague where my multi-city coach tour would start. As I sit across…

18 of 2018
Maybe someday the format of year-end looks recap may change but since I could still pick 18 faves from this year, let’s just stick to the current format. I’d like to think I was pretty much consistent with my aesthetic and that is staying ladylike all throughout the year but since most of the favorites…
Paris Landmarks
Though it’d be personally unacceptable for me to plan only one day in Paris, things like this happen in life and frankly, I’d take this chance than not having to see my favourite city again at all. But for those travelling with just 24 hrs to see the City of Lights for the first time,…
Paris From Above
Paris, from above, is a flat city, all thanks to Baron Haussmann’s strict rules about the height of apartments all the way back from the 1800s. But here and there, its gorgeous skyline with zinc-clad rooftops is punctuated by different iconic structures that make for an interesting panorama. It’s not enough to see these structures…
Beautiful: Acne or Not
To be honest there are still times when I wash my face at night and in total disbelief that I feel no bumps at all, I have to go to the mirror and check if it’s really real. Last year in Paris, I took several selfies with the Eiffel tower that I couldn’t bear to…
Würzburg
When I posted pictures in this city in Germany, I got a message from a Facebook friend (a co-hostel dweller last year in Paris) asking how I enjoyed the place. It turns out that he stayed here for his university degree. That this place is a university town is something that was not mentioned during…
Baby Steps to Sustainable Wardrobe
I’m probably not the best person qualified to talk about this topic but that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna stop trying. Everytime you see a news article in social media about waste management and plastic pollution (think: whales being washed up on the ocean dying from plastic ingestion, hidden areas of beautiful islands exposing mountains…
How I Get My Photos in Solo Travels
One of the many questions I get whenever I post pictures of my solo travels is, who took your photo? In last post’s topic of doing DIY vs joining a group tour, this problem definitely falls to the cons of doing a DIY trip. It is a disadvantage yes, but one that can’t be overcome….
Pre-Travel Anxiety
I can still remember the first time I felt this. January 2016, the company booked an early morning Malaysian Airlines flight for a business trip to KL and I spent the evening up all night in a panic. It wasn’t my first time to fly the said airlines and granted it’s been years since its…
Back in Paris
Paris is always a good idea. When a Singaporean hostel roommate in Vienna found out that I was in Paris last year and that I am back exploring multiple cities this time, she mentioned that I will keep doing it every year just like what she does. I guess that’s the magic of Europe for…
