From floating in the Dead Sea, to seeing the ancient ruins of Petra, and riding camels in Wadi Rum (where they shot the Martian), Jordan was pretty incredible. From the moment our plane landed, everything felt so surreal. Yes, we actually floated in the dead sea, and got to put the mud on our body and … Continue reading journey to jordan

a glimpse of 2016 through photos
This is a long overdue post, about 3 months late of my travel highlights from last year. 2016 was indeed full of adventures close and far from Singapore. I started off 2016 in Batam, Indonesia and then traveled to Hong Kong, Thailand, LA, NY, Iceland, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Melbourne throughout the year. I loved being … Continue reading a glimpse of 2016 through photos
melbourne: a stroll through the park
My friend, Melody, just happened to literally live across from the Shrine of Remembrance and the Botanic Garden. How convenient is that? Not only are these two places free to enter, but incredibly beautifully built and well managed. I loved being able to walk through the botanic gardens and see little kids on field trips … Continue reading melbourne: a stroll through the park
driving the great ocean road
By far one of my favorite parts of visiting Melbourne was seeing the great ocean road. I mean what can beat a beautiful scenic ocean drive along the Australian coast, with a road trip worthy Spotify playlist, and of course good food along the way. The route that we took as recommended by Melody's friend looked … Continue reading driving the great ocean road

It has been 8 years since I've left NY. I've never gone home for Christmas and instead during that time, I've celebrated Christmas in different countries including Korea, Thailand, and Singapore. Some of the memories I've made were volunteering and giving out gifts at an orphanage in Korea, relaxing on the beach in Thailand, or … Continue reading coming home for christmas
grand canyon- a name well earned
Two things that are true about my mom are: she gets her way, and she knows best. After I did some actual research about driving from LA to the Grand Canyon, I realized it was a good 8 hour drive. I originally just thought it would be like 4 hours from LA. Nope, a good … Continue reading grand canyon- a name well earned
the cali life
I finally made it to L.A. this summer. Yes, it was my first time in this beautiful city. I was expecting L.A. to be more of a "city" like NYC, but what I encountered was quite different. It kind of felt like the suburbs because everything was so spread out, there were big houses, but … Continue reading the cali life
city life @ reykjavik
During our stay we enjoyed some time to rest and rejuvenate in Reykjavik, which was much needed at times. Some of the highlights (in no particular order) in the city were: Lunch at bergsson mathus- Delicious local food, place to people watch, and wifi View of the city from the tower at the hallgrímskirkja church. Waffles … Continue reading city life @ reykjavik
