Monthly Breakdown for Early Travellers, Risotto Dreamers, and Budget-Conscious Nomads This one’s gonna be short — it was during my early travel years, and let’s just say… my memory of it is about as patchy as my travel insurance back then. But I do remember one thing clearly: the duck risotto. And maybe some regrets…

Monthly Breakdown for Solo Travellers, Sweet Tooths, and Slow Explorers The main reason I wanted to visit Istanbul was the Grand Bazaar — all the videos made it look like a dream. But in the end, the real highlight wasn’t the shopping. It was the vibe. Wandering through neighbourhoods on the Asian side, hopping ferries,…

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, 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 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). I’ve also explored Taiwan solo and with friends, but mostly in Taipei. So this…

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…
