When you’re travelling for work, easy access to the Internet is essential. How do you do that in Kuala Lumpur?

Yes, language barrier can be daunting, but sometimes it’s better to be lost in translation than sitting at home admiring at your friend’s travel photos on Facebook.

The trick to having an adventure of your lifetime doesn’t require you to purchase expensive flight tickets to obscure places nor to put yourself into dangerous situations where only luck could get you out off.

These countries may be a tad bit pricier than your third-world favourites, but you can never put a price on safety.

When it comes to creature comforts, I would list toiletries as essential companions wherever I go.

No Miss Nice or Miss Trusting when you are in a foreign land alone. If you have been known to be an overly trusting person, stop that. If you are a helpless naive, maybe solo travel isn’t for you.

Nothing gets my pulse racing faster than the sound of a train whistle. I may not know where the train is headed, but knowing that it’s nearby and about to leave soon for wherever gets me excited.

When you think about it, it makes sense people are far more afraid of being in an aircraft than say, driving a car.

An honest observation of Egypt, from fresh Malaysian eyes.

I had an interesting experience while speaking on a panel recently. The panel was about travelling solo and I think there was a bit of a miscommunication as I'd thought it was a more serious panel but the audience was expecting something on the lines of "How to have fun while travelling solo."

There are some things we take for granted when travelling abroad, especially to first world countries. One is that our luggage won’t get lost.

Every year on March 8, I get the same cynical question from men. “Why,” they ask, “should women have a day all to themselves?”
