Bavaria Trip | Nuremberg
One of the perks of staying in Regensburg was, it’s conveniently located in the center of Bavaria, making a day trip to nearby cities wasn’t so much of a hassle. Marion had a few places lined up for me, and the first was… Nuremberg! Being a HUGE fan of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King…

Bavaria Trip | Danube Narrows and Weltenburg Abbey
My Bavaria trip began with an interesting start: a sleepless night. I’d never been the one who could successfully pull an all-nighter, so getting a 2-am bus from Southampton to Gatwick Airport was quite a struggle for me. The waiting at Gatwick was tiresome, I couldn’t sleep as I was worried I’d miss the flight,…

Bavaria Trip | Prelude
This is a story that should have been told a long while ago. I had it written and re-written, but somehow it never felt right, like something was missing. I tried to put it into words, all the feelings and experiences and memories. But while most of the pieces were there, the puzzle was incomplete. I…

It’s been a while since the last time I traveled, and today I was overcome with a sudden longing to go somewhere far, alone. To wander aimlessly and be surprised at whatever things awaiting on the corner at every turn. To spend long hours on the train and airplane, and the solitude that comes with it.…

Some things along the way vol. 6: Words That Caught Your Eye
A couple of years ago, when I was sorting my traveling folders, I found a bunch of old photos that I thought were quite interesting. Those were the photos that didn’t fit into particular posts when I wrote about my travel, unlike the monuments or landmarks or even food. So I decided to gather those…

For the Love of Mosaic
Aside from bright walls and cute doors, I have another obsession: mosaic. I can’t quite explain my obsession with mosaic. I guess I just find them all beautiful, and imagining the hard work of creating and arranging tiny pieces to make a big piece of art has always amazed me. There are so many things…

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Everyone who’s heard of Singapore must have heard of Marina Bay Sands, most likely. Along with the Merlion, the three towers with a terrace on the roof has become Singapore’s most iconic landmark. Armed with a shopping mall, a hotel, restaurants, and a casino, this place screams nothing but luxury. It’s not my kind of…
