Planning a relaxing getaway? Here’s my 8 Days Langkawi Itinerary where you’ll see me cover most corners of the northern Malaysian island. You’ll see me exploring beaches, mountains, and waterfalls. I’ll also join some island hopping tours and visit popular tourist attractions. If you think 8 days are too long to spend on the island, you’ll be surprised to see
Where should you stay in Melaka? How about setting base at an upscale neighborhood that offers an amazing view of the Strait of Melaka? You can be neighbor to a 5-star hotel and swim at an instagram-worthy infinity pool, which in my opinion, qualifies as an attraction on its own. All for a very affordable price, ya know? :) Today’s

At time of writing (a full seven weeks prior to New Year 2019), many good accommodations are already fully booked. Even Airbnb units
Who knew I’ll be spending time writing my first Singapore Airbnb Review when I still have a huge backlog of travel posts to churn out. Sorry guys, those have to wait because I feel a strong need to do the community a service, i.e. to share about how horrible my first Airbnb Stay in Singapore was. The sooner this goes
Hey there, How’s your weekend been? I just came back from a staycation in Singapore and sadly, it was one horrible experience. That Airbnb stay affected my mood so much I actually couldn’t sleep at all on their comfy and luxurious mattress. And I couldn’t write for a few days even though my intention was to do full-scale writing at
As usual, we were feeling so bored in tiny Singapore that we decided on a whim to go for a Weekend Getaway to Melaka. This is my second visit to the historical Malaysia town that is located about 3.5 hours’ drive from Singapore. I thought it’ll be a relaxing trip because I’d been there, done that (erm about a decade
