Travel Tales

We were disappointed when we found out that Phi Phi island is temporarily closed for coral reef and sea life recovery. But since we had a free day, we decided to pay Railay Beach a visit.

I found myself in a tiny cottage in the Himalayas, overlooking the lake at the edge of Happy Village.

Having lived in Ireland for the last 10 years, a country that’s seemingly quiet with a population size of just about 4.7 million, I couldn’t contain my excitement upon knowing that I’d be going to China for a month on a work assignment.

The new 7 Wonders of the World was announced after over 100 million people voted from a selection of existing monuments.

Gili Meno offered me valuable life lessons in being open, in being able to love and be loved, and in savouring every moment.

Personally, I don’t particularly like big cities. In fact, I’d rather live in remote and secluded places, where I can spend lazy days out in nature.

The ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trekking route is a fair choice even for amateur hikers.

“What do you suppose is that expression in his eyes?” The female, British-accented English caught my attention as I finished dinner.

At the tail end of my trip along the pancake trail, I visited Myanmar, a country’s known for being relatively off-the-beaten-track.

There's a kind of natural magic that only exists at Vulcan Point Island, Taal Volcano in the Philippines.

I didn't choose to dive in Barracuda Lake, but it’s become one of the most memorable dives to date.

My journey into the self lasted only four days, but do note that the recommended length of stay for the meditation retreat is at least 10 days.
