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…

This isn’t a fear-mongering piece. I’ve travelled solo across more than 30 countries — but some places left me feeling far too watched, followed, or worse. No dramatic clickbait here. Just stories from someone who still refuses to carry pepper spray (despite multiple well-meaning lectures from friends). 🐻 Anchorage, Alaska, USA I didn’t realise how…

I went with half-expectations — the grounds looked small on the map — but halfway there on the BTS, I caught sight of the giant three-headed copper elephant statue towering above the surrounding buildings. That alone raised my hopes. The museum may be compact, but it’s thoughtfully curated. On the ground floor, you’ll find intricate…

If food is the love-of-your-life (hi, same), Osaka will spoil you. Here’s one food combo I’d happily fly back for: 🥩 Gyukatsu Motomura (Namba branch)This crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside beef cutlet hits differently.The meat arrives rare on the inside, and you grill it yourself on a mini hot plate.Be prepared to queue, but trust me — it’s…

Monthly Breakdown for Digital Nomads, Hybrid Workers, and Travellers. Osaka, Japan often sits in Tokyo’s shadow — but don’t be fooled. This city packs a punch with vibrant food streets, easy access to Kyoto, and a more relaxed energy. I spent a month here on a mid-range budget, and spoiler alert: I still think about…

If you only have time for one full-day activity from Ho Chi Minh, this might be it. For SGD60 (transport included), I went on a Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta combo tour — and I still think about it. ✔️ Cu Chi Tunnels: Learn about the underground traps and tactics used during the war…
