So the borders are open… now what?
So, the borders are open… Let me tell you, it’s one thing to pine, wish and hope for something and another thing entirely to have that something in your grasp and be confronted by the realities of using it. That was me and our border reopening. Before the pandemic I would travel every other month…

Should you get a Priority Pass?
Anyone who’s ever had to spend more than half an hour in an airport departure lounge, you know, it can be…uncomfortable. My earliest memory of an airport layover was going to The Netherlands with my mom and cousin when I was around 7 years old. We made our home on the floor of London’s Heathrow…

Thoughts in transit: Did I come to Malaysia for the wrong reason?
I’ve made a New Year’s resolution (not really) to try to be a better blogger. And in my head, being a better blogger means writing while I am on a trip, and not attempting to do it three years later when I can barely remember anything. Anyway, I’m three days into my trip to Malaysia…

Travel gadgets on my radar in 2019
The year has just begun and for most people travel is on the brain. I’m no different really. I’ve been planning my trips for this year since the latter half of 2018 and while nothing is confirmed just yet, it looks like I have a pretty decent lineup so far. I had originally wanted to…

Cenote-hopping in Mexico
I can’t remember exactly when my fascination with cenotes began. Actually, that’s a lie. It was when my friend Veesha went to Mexico in 2015 and posted the wildest photos of these underground water-filled lairs that looked like something out of a Guillermo del Toro flick. Since then, I knew that if I ever went…

What Bali cost me
I don’t sell drugs. I fund all of my trips myself (no sugar daddy in sight). I am not SUPER rich (God I wish). While I’m not a “budget” traveler per se, and I don’t always adhere to my budget, one thing I try to stick to is visiting places that are either 1) relatively…

The case for taking a break
I need a break. At the beginning of this year, I was working out every single day. Work was demanding – juggling a schedule with limited resources and an abundance of coverage to be done (I work in the media, for those of you who don’t know). I got sick on Carnival Friday and it…

My not-so-obvious travel check list
So you’re getting ready for a trip! Maybe it’s solo, maybe it’s with a group, but regardless there are a few things you need to check before you go, especially if you’re going somewhere that lies off the beaten path of the US or Europe. I got the idea for this blog after my friend…

7 things I learned (so far) travelling in South America
It’s only been two years now that I’ve been dipping a toe in the ocean of experiences on offer in our closest neighbouring continent. On my own I’ve only visited Colombia, Peru and now Chile but I’ve learned a few valuable lessons along the way that I think can be applied to most travelling situations.…

Thoughts in Transit // Go Alone
Current location: Gate A6, Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok, en route to Chiang Mai. I figure the only time I may have to write on this trip is while I’m in transit. My days have been packed to capacity with tours, dinner outings and roaming the streets. Since I began planning this vacation, people have expressed…
