This video shows some clips from our first stop in the Philippines: a visit at one of the most idyllic islands in the country, El Nido, Palawan.
Read MoreIn December 2019, I spent one week in Paris (during the nationwide transport strike) and one week in the quiet French countryside to celebrate and experience French holidays with my partner’s family.
Read MoreWith my friend Lea, who flew in from London, we were able to visit several areas along the French (and Italian) Riviera. Our main mission, however, was to make our dream come true: chase lavender fields.
Read MoreI once prepared this day-trip itinerary for a colleague-turned-friend for her trip to Paris in 2018. I hope it will serve you as well. Rouen is a small city 100 km away from Paris and can be visited for an entire day. Regardless of its smaller size, I hope you can spare two-three days in Rouen to appreciate its beauty.
Read MoreSince I've been missing the outdoors and traveling abroad doesn't seem to be possible in the near future, I look back at my files to see if there's anything productive I can do with my archives.
I have had these clips for a year now. I didn't think I'll make a whole video out of it considering how random the videos I took were.
We have more similarities than we think. I found myself oddly, surprisingly yet pleasantly identifying with the Lithuanian language, belief system and culture.
Read MoreWhat I do remember from this trip is meeting Martinas. Martinas is a solo Lithuanian traveler from our group. At one point, Martinas was standing right beside me and so I took the courage and talked to him in Lithuanian. He looked stunned and confused, later, amused, that an Asian like me was speaking to him in his native tongue. We found ourselves having our own little bubble as we moved along the tour.
Read MoreI wasn’t feeling adventurous during the first day. Too tired from the trips from Nice, to Klaipeda to Riga in all in two weeks and jetlagged. I could just hope that the next full day would be better for another thorough visit.
Read MoreOverall, will definitely go back here. I’m even debating it it’s the best island there is! Yes, even El Nido and Coron are in danger of only coming in second and third on my list. Boracay doesn’t even come close. Camiguin might just be my top Philippine destination!
Read MoreYesterday, Lea and I drove all the way up to Valensole in search of the lavender fields. The day before that, we had a dip in the sea and the day before that, we went to Monaco and impulsively decided to go to Ventimiglia, Italy where we almost missed our train. Classic Italian story. Today, I managed to make it to the laundry shop (Ma Laverie Shop) in Borriglione, just down the street at 7 AM - opening time.
Read MoreWhether or not you’re in Paris for a couple of days, three or maybe a week, I hope these recommended destinations would help future visitors/travelers/tourists.
Read MoreHow is it welcoming and showing a first-timer-foreign-non-English/Filipino-speaker partner in the Philippines? Let's just say that it wasn't a stroll in the park.
