The town of Yangshuo in southern China is packed with tourists — but if you know where to look, you can still find some peace and quiet to admire the beauty people flock to see.
Guangxi, China: Two Days in Yangshuo
A Half Day Transit in Amsterdam
I had a 10-hour transit in Amsterdam; and decided to make the most of my time in the city. I walked along the canals, visited a museum, and even had a traditional Dutch meal.
A Winter Weekend in Oslo, Norway
During my visit to Norway, I spent a cold winter’s weekend in the capital city, Oslo. 2 days was just enough time to have an easy-going introduction to this charming city.
3 Days in Luang Prabang, Laos
My trip to Luang Prabang was a quick getaway, and I had 3 days to get to know the city. It was a little rushed, but I still had time to do lots of fun (and relaxing) stuff! This was the itinerary.
A Day Through Time in Hoi An, Vietnam
Hoi An is a picturesque little Southeast Asian town with old traditional Vietnamese houses lining the narrow lanes; lanterns hanging from across the streets, and fishing nets and small boats floating along the river. Here’s an account of my day in the historic old town.
5 Days in Bangkok
It has been more than a decade since I last visited Bangkok– and it’s time to take on the heat, the traffic and the hectic craziness. Here’s my 5 days itinerary for Bangkok.
A Half Day Stopover in Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Banda Aceh suffered major devastation from the 2004 tsunami, but has since been rebuilt. However, remnants of the disaster are still visible– and I spend half a day exploring the city, and learning more about it.
Hokkaido, Japan: My Day in Sapporo
Sapporo is modern, dynamic and compelling; and during my visit in autumn, beautiful. I only had one day in the city, so I made use of my time to sample what Sapporo is famous for; the beer, the food and the shopping.
A Day in Singapore’s Chinatown
On my short one day visit to the Lion City of Singapore, I decided to stay put in one place and explore the area– Chinatown.
Exploring Newcastle in 24 Hours
A mix of old and new, medieval and urban; the city of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne exudes elegance and strength. With only 24 hours to explore the city, I wanted to take a walk into its olden times, while exploring its modern elements.
My Day in Liverpool
Looking beneath its aging exterior, Liverpool is a vibrant city that is filled with cultural heritage; known for its strong love of football and for being the home of the world-wide sensation, the Beatles.
Alicante in One Day
Alicante was the last stop of my eastern Spain tour, and my sister and I chose to stop by this city because we were mesmerized by the pictures we saw of it– especially the ancient castle on top of the hill. This was our one day itinerary.
Two Days in Valencia
Valencia means strength and valor in Latin, and that is apparent in its strong culture and constant innovation. I allocated 2 days to explore the city.
A Winter’s Day in Bruges
If you want a picture postcard-perfect picture, there’s no better place to get one than in Bruges. The town is so pretty that it gives you the feeling of walking into a real life fairy-tale town.
Road Trip: The Cotswolds and the English Countryside
I love road trips! So while spending my summer in the UK, I went on a road trip of the English countryside with my family. We chose to explore the rolling fields, green meadows and farm fields of the Cotswolds.
The Home of Shakespeare
Stratford-Upon-Avon is often associated with William Shakespeare. It was his birthplace, so the town is practically dedicated to him. We spent 2 days exploring Stratford-Upon-Avon, learning and getting to know his true genius.
