Berlin: 5 museums on an island

Berlin was one of the first European cities I visited. I remember, as soon as I got off the Berlin Hbf (main train station), I was so excited with all the spaces, urban planning, architectures and colours of this vibrant city! Getting around Berlin (and Germany in general) has one of the best public transportation systems in Europe, albeit a bit pricey. Getting around Berlin, … Continue reading Berlin: 5 museums on an island

Melaka: Melting pot of cultures & culinary influences

Melaka is one of my favourite cities, … Continue reading Melaka: Melting pot of cultures & culinary influences

Kuantan: Sungai Pandan waterfall, an unexpected hidden gem

May 2018, I did a road trip, together with my uncle and aunt to Kuantan (East coast of Peninsular Malaysia). It was a really laid back holiday. And to be honest, there’s nothing much to discover in Kuantan. As we were leaving Kuantan back to Kuala Lumpur, we searched on Tripadvisor and found this not-so-secret Sungai Pandan waterfall (also called Panching waterfall). And it is on … Continue reading Kuantan: Sungai Pandan waterfall, an unexpected hidden gem

Kyoto: 5 Tips to taking the best portraits at Fushimi Inari (with the crowd)

I know there are already travel guides out there sharing on how to take incredible photos at Fushimi Inari. And they all will either tell you to beat the crowd by going there early in the morning, or to stay on after dark. However, I like to enjoy my holidays, and I cannot be bothered about heading there first thing after I woke up. I … Continue reading Kyoto: 5 Tips to taking the best portraits at Fushimi Inari (with the crowd)
