Hong Kong was the final stop on my trip—and it arrived in a blaze of energy, skyline views, and unforgettable contrasts. Flying in from Hanoi, Vietnam, the shift was immediate. From Vietnam’s calm landscapes to Hong Kong’s towering skyscrapers and fast-paced rhythm, it felt like stepping into a completely different world. I checked into the Royal Garden Hotel, perfectly positioned in Kowloon, which made exploring both sides of the city incredibly easy. My first day took me ou

I flew from Singapore into Da Nang, the gateway to Hoi An, and from there made my way to the Bliss Resort & Spa. Tucked just outside the town and set right on the beach, it felt like an instant exhale—quiet, beautiful, and the perfect contrast to the energy I knew was waiting nearby. Hoi An itself was nothing short of magical. I spent the day wandering through the old town, where every street seemed to tell a story. Ochre-yellow buildings, wooden shutters, and lanterns hangin

I touched down in Singapore on February 18th, 2026, swapping London’s winter for the sticky humidity of SE Asia The timing couldn’t have been better—it was Chinese New Year, and the entire city felt alive with color, celebration, and energy. I checked into the Mondrian Singapore Duxton, perfectly located right on the edge of Chinatown. It turned out to be the ideal base: everything felt within reach, and the streets around the hotel were buzzing day and night with lanterns, m

There’s something special about hopping on the Eurostar in London knowing that just a couple of hours later, you’ll be stepping out into the heart of Paris. That’s exactly how my weekend began— rolling into Gare du Nord on Friday afternoon, ready for a quick escape filled with food, art, and a little bit of cabaret. Friday: Arrival, Snails, and the Moulin Rouge After navigating the bustle of the station, I headed straight to my Airbnb in Le Marais, one of my favorite Parisian

In September, I took on one of Europe’s most infamous adventures — the Caminito del Rey (King’s Little Pathway), a narrow walkway carved into the cliffs of the El Chorro gorge in Andalusia, Spain. Often called " Europe’s most dangerous hike" , it certainly lives up to its reputation, but also offers an unforgettable blend of adrenaline, history, and jaw-dropping scenery. The Setup: Safety First Despite its daring reputation, the Caminito del Rey has been fully restored and m

During my stay in Málaga, I decided to take a day trip to Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas — and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my time in Andalusia. Around 90 minutes away by bus, the journey itself was beautiful, winding through rolling hills and olive groves before arriving at one of Spain’s most dramatic towns. First Impressions of Ronda Perched high above a deep gorge, Ronda immediately feels different from anywhere else in southern Spain. The town is split

In September 2025, I found myself with a few free days before a work trip — the perfect excuse for a long weekend in Madrid . I’d always heard the city was a vibrant blend of history, food, and sunshine, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Where I Stayed: Riu Plaza España on Gran Vía I checked into the Riu Plaza España Hotel , right on the iconic Gran Vía . The location couldn’t have been better — central, lively, and within walking distance of most major sights. From the
