Falling in love, one destination at a time
My Dec 2019 wishlist is to see more of Singapore--my home for the last 5 years. In this spirit, I visited the Jurong Bird park today, on a particularly stormy afternoon! Thankfully, the thunder storms lasted about an hour and we could see a lot in the 3 hours we had. How to reach there:... Continue Reading →
Rome is an incredibly photogenic place. The city is filled with exquisite churches and building with immense architectural value. But even simple pictures of random streets turn out so charming. My phone is full of usual street scenes from this historic city! I spent better part of 4 days here walking through the streets and... Continue Reading →
Tuscany was absolutely amazing--the culture, the food and wine, the vineyards and the cute medieval towns. I think 5 days is not enough to see every thing but it does give you a chance to experience Italy at its best. I am sharing my itinerary from the trip. Day 1 & 2: Florence We spent...

The lovely Tuscan town of Siena was probably my favourite place during 2 weeks in Italy. Although I spent only one day here, 24 hours were enough to fall in love. We took the fast bus from Florence, and after a scenic 1 hour 15 minutes (take the fast bus to avoid stopping at every... Continue Reading →
Last year, I did a short stint in Hong Kong for two months. Luckily, I was there in September and October when the weather starts to cool down a bit and walking around this bustling metropolis is so much more enjoyable. This was my first trip to HK and I got a truly local experience... Continue Reading →
Seeing the Leaning tower of Pisa was a bucketlist item for me since I was a kid. We made a day trip from Florence to Pisa, which is a 1-1.5 hour journey by train. We were actually on our way to Riomaggiore so Pisa was a pit stop for us. Getting around Pisa is pretty... Continue Reading →
Struggling to decide between Italy's north and south coast? Same here! So, I included both on my 2-week trip to Italy. I spent 2 days with Riomaggiore, the farthest town on the Ligurian coast, as base and the only plan was to hike. Cinque Terre, literally translates to 5 villages, comprises of 5 cute seaside...

I had a day in Naples on my recent trip to South Italy. Honestly, after reading negative reviews online (mainly around petty crime, cleanliness and chaos) I was not keen on spending much time in Naples. In fact, I cut short my stay to one night instead of two. However, after a day of walking... Continue Reading →
I discovered the joys of hiking in Hong Kong after 3 weeks of landing in the city. Until one of my colleagues recommended this as a great weekend activity, Hong Kong for me was just food and shopping. Now, when I think about my time in HK, I always have a mental picture of the... Continue Reading →
This is my second trip to Bali and we stayed at Courtyard by Marriott, Nusa Dua this time. As usual, the plan was not to make it a hectic trip but enjoy the slow pace of life in Bali. We just chilled at the resort on our first day. Second day we went to Ubud.... Continue Reading →
