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…

Places of Opulence: Opera and Versailles
Ask me to name the most beautiful building I’ve been to in Paris and without a doubt for me it’s the Palais Garnier or simply known as the Opera. There are a few possible reasons why this place would be of interest to you. Perhaps you’re a fan of the book or the musical The…
Eiffel
I really wanted to see the Eiffel tower on my first day in Paris. It was the 8th of September last year, the day I turned 3x. 😛 It was a cold Friday when I arranged to meet with my friend Guill and as usual (🙄🙄🙄 you should know how stubborn he is by now…
Digital Detox
Connectivity as an afterthought. Have you ever considered this? Sometimes when we go on a holiday and appreciate a scenery, we’re so consumed with sharing it to the omnipresent social media (or maybe it’s just me that is so guilty of this oversharing behavior) that we take whatever that is infront of us for granted….
Mt Maculot
We could’ve very well just stayed at the rockies…but a summit is a summit! It was a little after 2am in the McDonald’s meeting place when we found our hike coordinator Karl among the sea of travellers in there. His face didn’t register to me when we met him but later in the conversation when…
Parc des Buttes Chaumont
Full disclosure: My idea to visit Paris only occurred to me probably two months before the departure. While it’s unlikely of me venturing out to Europe for the first time alone in such short notice, I was a bit confident because I have a friend in Paris who I know will help me out. Enter…
Chasing Falls in Cebu
Tip: Even if you think you’ve got your itinerary all figured out, it still wouldn’t hurt to consult locals for suggestions. Of course, this is pretty much standard practice (especially if you’re a nosy and talkative person, lol) but part of this tip is being flexible as well in your travel plans. Now the latter …
On Traveling Solo (feat Kalanggaman Island)
About two or three weeks ago, I received a newsletter from a travel agency (that up until now I don’t know how I started subscribing to) with some irresistible Asia tour promo packages. They’re incredibly cheap considering airfare, tour and accommodation already included. As I was just getting excited to send an email about details…
Kawasan Canyoneering
7 jumps guys, 7 jumps! If you have acrophobia, you should’ve conquered your fear by the end of the activity. Although the first question is, why would someone do canyoneering in the first place? Well, I decided to gather some facts to check if the activity is for you. Canyoneering or canyoning is the sport…
Cebu 2018: A Prologue
Whenever I talk to foreign people about Cebu, it now makes sense why they’d love to “properly” set a schedule of atleast two weeks minimum exploring this province that consists of more than a hundred islands and islets. My trip last month marked my fourth time in this island and let’s just say that by…
