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.

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.

A…

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…

Paris is expensive, yes. But it also rewards those who know how to navigate it. My top food tip? Skip dinner (just kidding) — eat like royalty at lunch. 💡 What’s a prix-fixe lunch? A weekday lunch set (usually 2–3 courses) offered at many Parisian restaurants. It’s often half the price of dinner and just…
