About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love hiking, spending hours with nature. Just walking aimlessly in the city but definitely perfect scenic more than the urban lifestyle, A heart to see what's awaiting me to discover about this amazing planet elsewhere out of my comfort zone =)

ABOUT ME

I have been working in the corporate world for about two years and always looking forward to take time off whenever possible to explore the world. Flexibility in itinerary changes allow me to take life easy as i learn to pace myself and leave room for breathing. Being haste doesn't necessary solve problems and i believe in exploring =) It widen my horizon out of the urban landscape i am in.

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the present, with absolutely no regrets. Life's short while everyone strive for their best in all their own define "aspect" as successful, I have no wish to pursue the same lifestyle as everyone (where right here in Singapore, everyone driven to buy their own house,car, getting rich etc). Travel is currently my priority ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Been to these countries

Australia- Darwin : Great way to road trip, attractions are mostly accessible by the road. Caravan campsite are perfect to interact with locals.

UK: London (Solo) : Easily accessible and local are English which makes interaction flawless. Bus drivers will ask question if you appear lost (helpful if you are boarding from the wrong direction). Tube gets you to everywhere ;)

Japan: Respectful society, people are very organized and cheerful. Though English may not be their first language but if you try to incorporate some Japanese in your sentence, smile will always be noticed on their kawaii face =). Train gets you to everywhere

Bangkok/Phuket/Krabi : Train is accessible if you are in bangkok and taxi running on meter are fairly cheap if you are lost in phuket/Krabi. For the sun/sea/sands lover, Phuket or Krabi is your best bet for a sunny vacation =)

Taiwan, Taipei: Lots of street food and attraction awaits =) Incredible friendly local and food!

Hongkong: Accommodation is generally small, if you want to travel the backpacker style. Food, food endless food for you to conquer!

China, Xiamen-Guangzhou: Lots of readily accommodation for walk in and esquire. Local driver is advisable if you wish to explore the provinces in the area and lots of sightseeing too.

Norway: Little wonder why it is rated the most expensive country in the world. But the hiking offers amazing view!! People are generally friendly and its easy to get around with train service /public bus. Had to spend a night in the bus terminal because we missed the last bus from odda to stravanger!

Iceland: Bus route practically covered the fascinating island! With pick up coach (chargeable) from the airport into the city. You be left to explore the very well preserve state of each little charming town. I find the weather a bit harsh (coming from a sunny island) but bearable, its a safe country definitely with so much to see!!
