Your Free, Self Guided Walking Tour In Melbourne
Some of the best things to do in life come free. It doesn’t take a lot for a place to please me. Just as long as I can capture moments and certain feelings, I’m good to go. And most times they don’t cost much and who knows maybe that’s how you roll too. So if…
How To Travel Using Less Plastic
One of my biggest regret in my time travelling is not because I didn’t visit Europe more, or the islands in Bali or sticking to a tight budget a little too strictly. Nowh!

Staying Healthy While Traveling, Naturally
While traveling, your body can get into all sorts of crazy. Different air, different time-zones, different water, different atmosphere, different food. Throw in too much street food, and too much sun, long-haul flights and long days, it’s no wonder people get sick easily. Despite it all, it doesn’t mean we start packing and dismiss our…

Edgewater, Te Anau: A Modish Budget Motel
I have a new found appreciation for motels now. Truth be told, I’ve been obsessing over camping out in tents and sleeping in a Kombi lately. If given the choice to camp out or sleep on a bed, I’d pick camping anytime. And it’s not because I’ve been staying at hotels or Couchsurfing too much…

Poignant Quotes From “Endurance” A Year In Space, A Lifetime of Discovery by Scott Kelly
Last November was the first time I started reading again in months. Prior to that, I had been swamped with a lot of work and I could feel that I was beginning to neglect one of my many guilty pleasures— reading. It was a clear case of burn out and I needed to read a…
2 Year Gallivanting: 2016/2017 Review in Photos
My gallivanting isn’t about going around the globe and staying on the road hopping from one city to the other. It is about the things that I had set out to do and who I did them with. I remember the first time I had a really long talk with myself. I was 26. I…

Roughing It Out In The Grampians, Australia
I’m writing this now 2 days after I arrived back in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, I meant to be back 3 days ago (12th October) but I missed my return flight. There’s really no other explanation other than I totally neglected the date and time. Perhaps, the strong inertia from living out in a tent for…
