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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
Malacca: My Take
Even the hard-working aspiring writers find themselves struggling for words sometimes. I was almost tempted to simply post these recent photos and let the images speak for themselves. Besides, a picture paints a thousand words, right? Yeah right. But a part of me also believes that a thousand words paint a beautiful picture. If youContinue reading “Malacca: My Take”
