I always wanted to visit uncommon travel destinations but always find planning trips to these places very challenging. It is easier to go to countries where there are trains that make it convenient to move from one tourist attraction to another. That said, I always end up with big city tours over nature trails andContinue reading “Scurrying Through Sri Lanka”

Manila on My Mind
I am finding it hard to write again after a five-year hiatus, so I will restart with this post. I did not really take a break from traveling and photography during this period of silence. In fact, I visited a number of new countries and revisited some of my favorite cities to take photos ofContinue reading “Manila on My Mind”
Anything Under The Sun
Anything under the sun. Well at least that is how I remember or describe Abu Dhabi. It seems like anything is possible here. Dubai may be the most popular of all the Emirates in the UAE but Abu Dhabi is still the capital; and it has several reasons for being so. As one travel guideContinue reading “Anything Under The Sun”
From Tokyo to the Bay
“…a thousand miles from comfort…there’s no place I’d rather be…”–Clean BanditThis is where it all started. The first time I visited Japan was way back in November 2013. I was invited by a major Japanese furniture manufacturer to attend a convention in Tokyo. It was a 3-day event with a 2-day extension for us toContinue reading “From Tokyo to the Bay”

Do check her wonderful blog. This is my second award from her, with the first award causing me to earn aContinue reading “One Lovely Blog Award 2017”
Silence is Golden
This write-up should have been posted more than a month ago. I actually forgot I have these photos from our recent Club Med Bintan retreat; and I was only reminded of having them when I was looking at my passport while on queue at the renewal section of the embassy a few days ago. IContinue reading “Silence is Golden”
The Seoul I Love
You know what? It’s a good thing we will have our company retreat next week. It will give me enough time to shake off this overwhelming feeling I had from my last trip. I just came back from Seoul and obviously still in a daze; my body already here but my mind still back thereContinue reading “The Seoul I Love”
A Year in Postcards
I could have called this post “A Year in Review” or “My 2015 Travels” but I thought it would be a cliche. We always do this year-end post or write-up where we cross out a few items in our travel bucket list (or any bucket list for that matter) and admittedly, this post is inContinue reading “A Year in Postcards”
Experiencing Thainess
“Travelling: It leaves you speechless, then it turns you into a storyteller.”– Ibn Battuta Finally, I ran out of sensible things to say except maybe to tell you about the series of crazy and unbelievable events that led me to this place and made me love it. Bangkok was one of the last cities IContinue reading “Experiencing Thainess”
A New Orient
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us”– Anonymous This fascination with the east has been going on for quite some time now. Well obviously, I grew up in this neighborhood. And if you are here, you are spot on. Now is the perfect time to be living, thriving, andContinue reading “A New Orient”
