As Christmas displays are being taken down around Hong Kong, they are being quickly replaced by brilliant displays of red and gold. Yup, that’s right, Chinese New Year is almost here so it’s time to start preparing! I had really high hopes for this past Year of the Snake, I am a snake after all, but wouldn’t […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Masjid Jamek in Kuala Lumpur. Located at the birthplace of Kuala Lumpur, where the Klang and Gombak rivers meet, sits Masjid Jamek. As one of the oldest mosques in Malaysia, Masjid Jamek was established over 100 years ago and […]
As I embark on this one week trip to Malaysia, I’m about to face a whole new set of packing challenges. Challenge #1: Similarly to my trip to Singapore, I’ll be leaving 50-something degree Hong Kong to somewhere that is currently 90+ degrees, so I’ll have the joy of having to carry needless clothes for both seasons. Challenge […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the streets of Shanghai. Wandering around Shanghai, the streets were often narrow, dirty and filled with poor wire jobs. Buildings all looked the same, clad in red bricks. The ground level comprised of a variety of small shops with […]
Yup, that’s right. As this is being published, I’m probably flying somewhere over Thailand right now. Malaysia is someplace that had interested me, although I’m not sure why. There’s something about those impressive Petronas Towers that just calls me to see them in person, and now I’ll be staring at them for a whole week! […]

They recently returned to Europe, but haven’t stopped: this is just the […]
Last year, Johnny and I were finally able to take a short trip to Phuket, Thailand. Although our time there was short, we had a jam packed trip filled with eating delicious foods, snorkeling off the beach and unfortunately, elephant trekking. While I’m now ashamed to admit that I rode an elephant in Thailand– something so many […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the colorful rickshaws of Melaka. Situated half-way between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the state Melaka (Malacca) makes a great day trip from either city. Traces of its Portuguese and Dutch history can still be found throughout the city, making it […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza 2014 in Hong Kong. After being unsuccessful the past few years, I finally made it to this famous event in Hong Kong. On New Year’s Day we watched Dragons and Lions dancing their way […]
Planning a honeymoon is almost as important as planning the wedding– and equally stressful. There’s balancing budgets and bookings, not to mention picking the perfect destination. Your honeymoon will be the first time you are traveling together as a married couple, and after all the stress of the big day, you’ll certainly want a little relaxation. […]
