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”
Taipei in Postcards
Hi there. Like everyone these days, I take the time to rekindle the flames of inspiration and remember why we love doing the things that we do. If you’re like me who loves to move around and take photos, then you are stuck at the moment. One of my favorite photographers (Joe McNally) suggested thatContinue reading “Taipei in Postcards”
South Korea: Season 2
I am about to experience my second winter this year. This time (that’s next week) in Melbourne, Australia and probably a third one this December in Taipei, Taiwan. I was just thinking of how the world is so amazing that you can experience the same beautiful season more than once in a year and inContinue reading “South Korea: Season 2”
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”

Dubai Retrospective
I got this idea from one spontaneous traveler. He would spin a globe and stop it with his index finger. He will look at the place where his finger had landed and then pack his bags or suitcase quickly to go to that place. I did the same thing. My finger landed somewhere in theContinue reading “Dubai Retrospective”
Macau Musings
This wanderlust has been an effective family therapy for us. I’ve been writing here for a while but I forgot to mention that I work abroad (currently based in Singapore) and away from my family. Like most overseas worker, I made it a point to go back to my hometown every 6 months and spendContinue reading “Macau Musings”
About Anniversaries
It’s been a while since my last write-up (or to be more accurate, since I last travelled). Honestly, I have maxed out my paid leave for the first three quarters of the year and have to wait for a few more weeks to be able to make use of the available balance. But that mayContinue reading “About Anniversaries”
