Diary of a solo female traveler
Madrid, Spain – I travelled to where the sun shines so bright and the people shine brighter. There’s just so much to see and experience in this vast metropolitan city. The assault of so many sceneries and cultures may be a bit overwhelming for some. The city and its people can be quite unpredictable; one [...]
Seriously this was massive. I was told when I got to the hostel that it was Songkran in a couple of day’s time. I had no idea what they were talking about. All I was told was to buy the biggest water pistol I could find. Why Songkran? Songkran is the celebration of the Thai [...]
Italy is a place I’ve been lucky to travel to a few times. And I have to admit…. I’m in love!! There’s no country like it: the culture, the flavors, the architecture and the beauty are unending. Let me tell you about a recent trip there. Venice It really does deserve all the tourism it [...]
Food and fashion define me, but it is travel that moves me. Experiencing new places and things is a necessity because it refreshes my perspective and rejuvenates my soul. My time in Seoul, South Korea is a great example of this. Seoul is a mega city full of beautiful and exciting things. The assault of [...]

Needless to say, this country possesses gorgeous natural sceneries and its people are some of the nicest I’ve met in my journeys.

I am a big fan of football (soccer), tennis and golf. Recently, I found new fascination in rugby and cricket when I came across them throughout my first visit to [...]
Istanbul, Turkey – I used to think of this place as a remote ancient city basically full of ruins and artifacts; much like the early Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Persia (Iran). But, out with the old and in with the new thinking, as they say; and with my interest boosted by Turkey-inspired television programs such as [...]
As a history major, the beauty and mystique that shrouds the past of a particular culture always fascinates me; none more so than that of the roman civilization. Roman mythology of gods and goddesses, roman technology, roman engineering and architecture, and the Roman way of life are just some of the things that make Rome [...]
I have always wondered what it would feel like to have lived during the samurai days. It’s no secret that I’m a Japanese culture aficionado, and the thought of those lavish old natural surroundings that you can only find now on postcards, simply keeps my imaginative juices rolling. I would like to think that I [...]
Switzerland is the perfect place to feel the winter season all year round because it snows there for almost all throughout the year. It’s simply a great place to chill out and chill down. The constant snow has contributed to the Alps, the European mountain range system, looking like a perfect ice cone. It’s actually [...]
