Monthly Breakdown for Visa Sufferers, Temple Wanderers, and Unexpectedly Charmed Souls I came in with zero expectations and left feeling… oddly healed. There’s something about Kathmandu that feels untouched by time. But make no mistake — it’s not all mystical alleyways and spiritual cafes. It’s also cash-only, credit-card-rejecting, visa-line chaos. I learned the hard way,…

Monthly Breakdown for Food Chasers, Chill Walkers, and Ximending Addicts Taipei is still one of my top picks in Asia. Night markets? Elite. Shopping? Dangerous. Weather? Perfect for late-night strolls with fried chicken in hand. I stayed in Tamsui this time — quiet and by the water — but trust me, the city never feels…

Monthly Breakdown for Beach Lovers, Return Visitors, and Travellers Who Miss the Quiet I used to love Da Nang — the quiet beaches, the low-key charm, the way everything felt just a little slower. But coming back after two years… it’s changed. The rise in tourism is great for the locals (and they deserve that…

Monthly Breakdown for Surprise City Crushes, Cafe Crawlers, and Wedding Weekenders I was only in Malacca for a week — came for a friend’s wedding, stayed for the food and weekend energy. I didn’t think much of it before the trip, but I ended up enjoying the slow pace, good eats, and charming little cafes…

It was the first country in Asia that didn’t require tests or quarantine when borders were still closed — so I booked a one-way flight and started my full-time remote travel life here. It turned out to…

Monthly Breakdown for Singapore Escapees, Practical Shoppers, and Banana Leaf Addicts Originally, I booked KL as a convenient hub — lots of flights in and out, easy transit to other countries. But somewhere between the local eats, shopping deals, and day-to-day ease, I kinda fell in love with it. It has a Singapore-adjacent vibe, but…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Solo Travellers, and Sunrise Chasers This trip was a gamble — I picked it mostly for the view from the apartment. And it paid off. Nha Trang ended up being more fun than expected. It was my first solo trip in Vietnam (the first time I visited was on a…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Hybrid Workers, and Travellers. Chiang Mai, Thailand is often praised as a budget destination, but what if you’re looking for a comfortable mid-range lifestyle as a digital nomad or hybrid worker? I spent a month here, living in a central Airbnb, enjoying great food, and experiencing local attractions—and here’s how…
