I will choose this photo: One of the most beautiful thing that I really love about Morocco, when it comes to its natural landscape is the oasis. A winding field of green that follows the natural contours of the river irrigating crops such as olive trees, date trees, and plants that grow almonds, onions, and... Continue Reading →
I just came back from my two week trip to Morocco and I am absolutely floored by the sheer beauty of the country. I took so many photos of Morocco on my iPhone and it has become a joy looking at it through again. My friends and I recently embarked on a two week trip... Continue Reading →
Things have been moving so fast in recent weeks, so fast in fact, that I didn't have time to write about it. A couple of weeks ago, I got back from New York, flew on the world's longest non-stop flight on Singapore Airlines and saw and bought many things in New York! It was a... Continue Reading →
Last year, my friends and I, the same group that went on a road trip around Iceland, were planning to go to Canada for our next great road trip holiday. However, I think I have to shelf that plan. It has come to my attention that my parents would like to go Iceland for their... Continue Reading →
So previously my family booked a couple of a AirBnB accommodation in New York. It was the most economical option available, considering that hotel stays in New York is crazy expensive. And with six of use travelling as a family, it makes sense to book our accommodation on AirBnB, where we can book an entire... Continue Reading →
Last week I borrowed a couple of travel books for both Morocco and New York. Last weekend however, I had some time to go through those books, especially the New York one and started taking down some notes and places of interested that I must visit on my upcoming vacation to New York. Things are... Continue Reading →
Our trip to Morocco (three of my colleagues and good friends, including myself) is starting to take shape. We have started to enquirer about desert tours and started finding cheap tickets to Morocco. Past couple of weeks, we have been trying to find out what is the cheapest (but not necessarily the slowest or most... Continue Reading →
November 7. The date of my thesis submission. November 8, the final assignment due. November 16. Presentation. Then, the end. The end of my 2-year journey as a postgraduate Masters student. It's been a harrowing journey. Working and studying at the same is a huge challenge. A challenge that I have overcome. A challenge that... Continue Reading →
Going to New York in 2019 wasn't exactly planned. But when a credit card promotion offers an all-in return ticket on a non-stop flight from Singapore to New York City on a premium economy seat, you cannot walk away from such a deal. SGD1425 for a premium economy ticket, on the world's longest flight, non-stop... Continue Reading →
I've worked hard. I have studied hard. Now, it's time to play harder. Much, much harder. One more week to my epic solo trip to Canada! My itinerary has been finalised, my tickets bought. Now it's left to print those and bring it for my trip.
Took me weeks to come up with the itinerary but the research definitely helps. I am looking forward to my trip to Vancouver in a little over a month's time. As I was doing my research, I discovered some pretty interesting hiking trails that I want to explore. This itinerary is more outdoors that I... Continue Reading →
It was time to drive. After collecting our white Ford Edge AWD car from Thrifty, a car rental company, we checked out from our hotel, loaded all our stuff, got ourselves comfortable and drove on Route 1, Iceland’s Ring Road. The car was just nice for a group of four and the boot could easily... Continue Reading →
Today, the real adventure begins. Our flight to Iceland was not until 1.20pm in the afternoon. We got up early and had a fulfilling American style breakfast at Mad Restaurant. We needed to have a heavy breakfast because we decided to skip lunch and have a nice dinner instead upon arrival in Reykjavik, Iceland. As... Continue Reading →
Thirty minutes into our flight, the captain of the aircraft spoke through the intercom. Singapore Airlines flight SQ352, bound for Copenhagen, Denmark was being diverted back to Changi Airport. The left engine of the Boeing 777-200ER began powering down due to a technical fault. We were now flying on only one engine. As we approached... Continue Reading →
Planning for this Grand Adventure began more than 6 months ago. Back then, we were throwing around ideas on our next big holiday. The Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Greenland) often came up during our almost weekly discussions over dinner meet ups. At that point of time, we weren’t very keen due... Continue Reading →
And boy! What an adventure! There is so much to share! Hopefully I will find the time to share all my stories of my adventures in The Land of Ice and Fire! But for now, I need some sleep. So jet lagged. And I have tons of photos to upload, convert and process which will... Continue Reading →
I was in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for a short weekend trip with a friend of mine. He wanted to visit a village that was on the outskirts of Phnom Penh that he had been to, while doing volunteer work. He was there for a few weeks previously, teaching the kids music, english and helping out... Continue Reading →
Picture of the week: This picture was taken during my travels to Japan in the month of November 2015. I was there to capture the autumn season. It was towards the end of November, and the autumn leaves were in full swing, with trees shedding their leaves, bursting with colours of oranges, yellows and reds.... Continue Reading →
For the past couple of months while planning our trip to Iceland, Nordic Visitor has been extremely helpful in giving us advice, tips and most importantly, assisting us in booking our accommodations, car rental and activities for our trip. Without them, planning our itinerary would have been much more difficult. They were extremely helpful in... Continue Reading →
The time is finally here. We are going to Iceland in 9 days time. After months of planning, booking flights, tours, deciding on the dates, the duration, buying insurance and the kinds of activities we want to do over there, we have finalised everything and are good to go. There is a certain level of... Continue Reading →
