We had a 5am pickup so woke up at 4am to get ready. When I woke up, my body was feeling heavy. And when I was moving around in my room, my heart was beating fasting than normal. Is this altitude sickness? So just in case, I took some pills. I also packed too light. […]

August 28, 2019.Reading time 10 minutes.

I love being on schedule and planning everything accordingly. But what is a vacation without sleeping in? I purposefully booked a flight flight to Cusco so I get catch up on some zzz’s. And it was so worth it. The hotel did not provide free breakfast but my travel companion, Nina, brought cup noodles with […]

I dubbed my last day in Lima, a eating day. This day was full of food and I travel to eat, so what a perfect day 🙂 My accommodation was nice enough to let me keep my luggage there so I packed up, placed my bags in the corner, and headed over to grab some […]

[Day 3] Day trip to Huacachina

August 7, 2019.Reading time 15 minutes.

One of the reason why I picked Hola Peru as my accomodation was the fact that they offered a day trip to Huacachina from their hostel. This would include pick up and drop off. And of course, since it was a private tour, I was able to negotiate my schedule a bit. I looked at […]

I love traveling and seeing the world. And because I love traveling, I also like to collect points/mileages!

Cancelled trip

I haven’t been to Grand Canyon in over a year so needless to say, I was excited to visit the place with my friend. Unfortunately, my friend had to cancel her trip to the US and we had to cancel all the subsequent trips. She had a sudden surgery and was bedridden. She thought about […]

Busan: the Port City

April 10, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

Busan. I love this city. It’s the second largest city in South Korea and although it doesn’t have the old and new feel of Seoul, it does have it’s own charms. Also, Busan contains the word for mountain but the city is also surrounded by water. So if you are looking to vacation, this could […]

California has been getting excessive […]
