One of the best things about living in Singapore is the island’s proximity to beautiful, vibrant Southeast Asian cities! You can fly to Phuket, Langkawi, Bali and other Asian locales like Taipei for a quick weekend trip for less than a restaurant meal in Singapore. And so when I had a free weekend end 2019, […]

Review: Hotel Relax in Taipei, Taiwan
I love Taipei in autumn 🍂 Piping hot street food, endless shopping & cool breezy winds – the best getaway from the haze and heat in Singapore. Even though Taipei is relatively small and transport is cheap, I always need a conveniently located hotel so that I can make regular trips back to dump all […]
Review: KKDay Budget Car Rental – Hokkaido Self-Drive Road Trip Itinerary Day 3 & 4 Hakodate > Sapporo
From where we left off from our road trip around Hokkaido… We were on the way from Lake Toya to Hakodate, which is the longest part of our journey and so we took a minute to stop at this organic farm with the most beautiful views! And to top myself up with more Shiroi Koi […]
Review: KKDay Budget Car Rental – Hokkaido Self-Drive Road Trip Itinerary Day 2 & 3 Sapporo > Noboribetsu > Lake Toya
Continuing from my previous itinerary post HERE… We set off from Sapporo bright and early towards Jigokudani, Noboribetsu to conquer the Hell Valley! 👹 Jigokudani (地獄谷) or “Hell Valley” is a glorious, aptly named ravine just above the town of Noboribetsu, which exhibits hot steam vents, sulfurous streams and other volcanic activity. It is a […]

Review: Sapporo Tokyu REI Hotel in Hokkaido, Japan
Did you know that Susukino (すすきの) in Sapporo, Hokkaido is Japan’s largest entertainment district north of Tokyo? 🍻🌈👫 I have never been to Hokkaido in Autumn and have always thought that Hokkaid is just a powdery snow-covered wonderland famous for ski slopes and Hokkaido milk icecream. Turns out Hokkaido in Autumn is gorgeous as well, […]
Review: Lyf Funan in Singapore – Southeast Asia’s Largest Coliving Property
“Coliving.” When I first heard the term, my first reaction was huh?? I briefly wondered if it had anything to do with the buzz around coworking and if people were just tagging the prefix ‘co’ onto everything now. But as a true blue millennial and remote worker myself, I was irresistibly drawn to the co-ncept. […]
Review: Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa in Bali, Indonesia
When it comes to Bali, I am annoyingly biased towards the Seminyak area. My first trip there was 4 days based in a quiet little pool villa along Jalan Batu Belig just outside of the main Seminyak area and 4 days was all I needed to fall in love with the food & the beach […]
Review: Doubletree by Hilton Resort in Penang, Malaysia
I don’t know why it took me so long to finaaaaally visit Penang! Like Langkawi (which is one of my all time favourite beach vacay locations thanks to cross island jet skis), Penang Island is just barely an hour and a half away via plane and with incredibly cheap budget flights available, we hopped over […]
