Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Solo Travellers, and Sweet Tooths in the Desert I honestly thought I’d enjoy Dubai more… but I didn’t. It felt like a luxury showroom built for the rich — flashy, curated, and not super liveable once you’re a few blocks away from the Dubai Mall. That said, I had my…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Solo Travellers, and Reset Seekers I never really got the appeal of Busan. My cousin once said it was the one place in Korea he’d go back to, so I was intrigued. I always thought I was more of a city girl — but Busan proved me wrong. This coastal…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Hybrid Workers, and Solo Wanderers A lot of my friends asked — why on earth did I go to Alaska? And honestly, I’m not even sure. Back then, I was working remotely and figured I might as well travel to places I’d never been, popularity be damned. I also had…

Monthly Breakdown for Solo Female Travelers, Remote Workers, and Slow Movers India was always on my list. But like many solo female travellers, I had safety on my mind. There’s no shortage of stories online about harassment or discomfort, and I wanted my first experience to be one that allowed me to be cautious without…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Solo Travellers, and Hybrid Workers I have been to Kaohsiung before but that was when I was still a student travelling with my family (which, if you’re from an Asian household, you know means zero freedom).

The math ain’t mathing — and I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. RM13 for bubble tea. RM199.90 for a Uniqlo jacket (on offer). RM230 for a thrifted coat. RM66 for a keychain. And let’s not forget food — RM22 for a chicken chop. All this while advertised salaries for sales associates still…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Remote Workers, and Realists Seattle had a lot of charm I didn’t expect — Pike Place Market, Lumen Field, and ferry rides to quiet island towns were absolutely worth it. But alongside the beauty, there were moments I couldn’t overlook. The drug and homelessness crisis? Real. I got home by…

Monthly Breakdown for Solo Female Travellers, Remote Workers, and Slow Movers Sri Lanka wasn’t a country I expected to feel uneasy in. I had always heard about its stunning coastlines and rich culture — and while that still holds true, my experience as a solo female traveller was different. I didn’t feel unsafe in the…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Hybrid Workers, and Travellers. Ah, Singapore — my home country. A clean, efficient, and incredibly safe city that’s perfect for families, solo travellers, and digital nomads alike. While many locals dream of traveling abroad, I found unexpected joy in rediscovering the city I grew up in. I spent a month…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Hybrid Workers, and Travellers. I’ll be honest — my last trip to Europe wasn’t great. But this time, I came to Paris for a friend’s wedding and decided to stay for a full month as a solo traveler. And… surprise – I really enjoyed it. From the walkable streets to…
