Each trip that I go out changes me in some shape or form that I never expected, be it in the busy metropolitan capital streets or in the solitude of the isolated village mountain. 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.

People often ask me how I plan my trips — what apps I use, what spreadsheets I make, how far in advance I book everything. The truth is, my planning process is surprisingly simple. I don’t use complicated tools, and I don’t try to control every detail. Over time, I’ve learned that good trips aren’t…
Thailand was the first country I ever visited alone. No friends, no family, no backup plan — just me, a backpack, and a one-way ticket.

When I planned my trip to the Philippines, I imagined island hopping, clear blue water, and postcard-perfect sunsets. What I didn’t plan for was the moment that stayed with me the most. Because it wasn’t on any itinerary. It happened on a regular day, in a place I almost skipped. It Started as an Ordinary…
