Okay, hear me out. I know what you’re thinking. “A capybara cafe? Like… the giant rodents?” Yeah. The giant rodents. The ones that look like they’ve achieved a level of inner peace most monks spend decades chasing. And somehow, sitting next to one in a garden in Bangkok, feeding it grass while sipping iced coffee,…
I’ve stayed in hundreds of hostels and Airbnbs around the world. Some were awesome, cheap, fun, clean, good vibes. Others? Absolute nightmares that left me itchy, broke, or just plain pissed off. The worst part? Most of the disasters had screaming red flags in the photos, reviews, or description that I straight-up ignored because “it’s…
Landing in a brand-new city feels exciting… until it doesn’t. You’re tired, confused, dragging a suitcase that’s suddenly way too heavy, and everyone around you seems to know exactly where they’re going. I’ve been that sweaty, wide-eyed idiot more times than I care to admit. The good news? You don’t have to be. Here’s the…
I went to Bangkok thinking I’d dip my toes into the nightlife. You know, a couple beers on Khao San Road, maybe a rooftop cocktail, call it a night. Cute plan. Reality?

The first person point of view of travelling enables me to present real experiences, emotional attachment and personal revelation of discoveries…
When most peoples’ vision of Thailand includes vibrant night life, packed tourist streets, and/or crowded beaches, that is precisely what I wanted to avoid on my recent trip. For my latest journey to Thailand, I chose to approach it at a more measured pace focusing on day-to-day living, serene communities, and those intimate aspects of…
Introduction Travelling through Thailand was far from being just another trip to a new country. I felt like I was going into a different world which seemed to be going at its own slow pace but was still very tempting. The whole stretch from the airport to the hotel that I had tried was the…
Introduction My first trip to Thailand was a roller coaster ride of my emotions excited, overwhelmed, and touched just to mention a few. Since it was the first time I traveled abroad everything seemed new to me from airport procedures to the culture which is completely different. I have always wanted to go to Thailand…
Why Thailand? Thailand was high up on my list of places to visit for a very long time. I was intent on going somewhere that would be vibrant yet calm at the same time, where I could immerse myself in culture, eat deliciously, and rest as well. When I got to Thailand at last, I…
I fell in love with travelling the world, especially Asia, at a very young age, and have been pursuing it ever since.
