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? Bangkok’s nights grabbed me by the collar, shook me around, and I basically said “yes please, more.” It ruined my sleep schedule, my…

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…
Introduction With an open mind and absolutely no fixed expectations, I traveled to Thailand. All I had was the hearsay about the beaches, the food, and the culture, but for me, it was a must to see and experience it myself. The journey felt so authentic, untouched, and it was full of contrasts right from…
I fell in love with travelling the world, especially Asia, at a very young age, and have been pursuing it ever since.
