5 Reasons Why I Keep Going Back to Bangkok
Bangkok is my first trip of 2012. This would be my fifth trip to the Thai capital since I first visited in February 2010. Here are some reasons why I keep going back to this city.
One Night in Shanghai
The temptation of taking off to Shanghai for even a short trip was too great for me to ignore. With the new high-speed train in operation, it would be very easy to hop on a train, see a bit of Shanghai, then head back to Beijing.
7 Awesome Things I Did in Beijing (and 1 I Passed On)
I’d previously come up with a list of things I wanted to do in Beijing. I’m happy to say that I did most of those things on the list, but with one notable exception.
8 Things I Want to Do in Beijing
On Wednesday morning, I’ll be flying to Beijing. This will be my first ever trip to China, so naturally I’m more than a little excited. It seems like there’s so much to do in Beijing. Here are some things I definitely want to do while I’m actually there.
The Three-Hour China Visa
Last Thursday, I woke up hungover shortly before 11am. Upon gathering my senses, I decided I was going to China on the following week. Three hours after waking up and making that decision, I got my Chinese visa approved. Incredible? Sort of.
Greetings from Georgetown
I have touched down in Penang, Malaysia! After trouble getting out of the airport, I made a new friend and tried some delicious curry mee!
Watching Theatre in Foreign Languages
Apart from travel, theatre is one of my passions. I've been involved with theatre since 2003, and I do my best to watch plays and musicals when I get the chance. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that I watched three shows during my two weeks in Europe.

In just a few hours, I will be boarding Lufthansa flight LH 791 from Singapore to Munich. And for two weeks, I’ll be living out one of my personal travel goals and dreams.
Cleansing My Travel Karma
In less than a week, I will be taking my first ever long-haul flight, taking me from Singapore to Munich, Germany. It has been a frantic six or so months preparing for this trip, from securing the necessary funds to procuring a visa, and even figuring out what clothes to pack (still not done, by...
Bali, Hai!
If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you know by now that I’m back in Bali. It was quite a spontaneous decision, and once again, it will be a short trip for me; I arrived here tonight (Wednesday night) and I’m leaving Friday morning. I intend to relax and chill by the beach on my...
