A tad bitter?

“If you’re in love then you are the lucky one because most of us are bitter over someone.“ I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve listened to this song today**. For some reason whenever I’m busy with work, I somehow get lost in music that I’ve never heard before. More often than not, […]

Pen On Pen // Phnom Penh

Roadtrips have a strange beauty to them.. It is very rare that travelers who venture to South East Asia get to experience the open roads within each country let alone the ones that connect to their neighbours. Admittedly, I understood why. Vietnam-Cambodia buses are by no means the quickest mode of transport. The routes are […]

Ho Chi Minh City // Saigon

After our final Skype, we worked out that I would be arriving in Vietnam a whole 10 hours before Sharzy did. Essentially I won the pleasure of spending an extra day of wondering around, making friends and dying of heat. As I said, I really didn’t have any expectations of Ho Chi Minh City. I […]

Ooty to Coonoor to Ooty

Adventure? Of course! That nine letter word pretty much dictates my life. South India is definitely place for a little wanderer like me to do a bit of adventuring. A random decision one Sunday to part-take in some local sight-seeing, tea picking and trekking ended up being one of my favourite days. I would definitely […]

Visiting a new place is like seeing the world for the first time. Your eyes search high and low following the natural lines and movement, your heart beats a little faster everytime you feel a new vibe and your nose, hands and taste are in pretty much sensory overload for the entire duration of exploration.

Roadtrippin’

My goal to do more adventuring came around sooner than expected. A spontaneous little roadtrip adventure yesterday to Nelspruit with the best friend-ship turned out to be my first adventure of 2016. Those who know me well enough, know that I will never, and I mean never pass up the opportunity to be driven around. […]

Two Zero One Six

To see the world, things dangerous to come, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty As we coast through into the new year, the question to always come up over conversation coupled with cocktails and scrumptious cuisines is “what […]

The Actual Museum

With all my excitement of reliving some of my Polish memories, I forgot to write about my actual experience at the Polish Aviation Museum in Krakow (Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego w Krakowie). It was the second trip to the bustling student city of Krakow during my two month stay in the homelands. During my first visit, […]

Planes, planes, planes. . . in Poland.

This last summer, I had the opportunity to experience a winter like no other. Landing in Poland, I found another part of the world to truly call my home and just like my other travels. . . I know that a part of me was claimed by the historically beautiful land, so naturally I came home […]
