Welcome to my blog on Borneo - Ecotourism Hub of Southeast Asia. Having travelled a fair bit in my travel blogging assignments, some of my best travel experiences are those that are least planned. This trip was essentially a photography project for three nature lodges that are owned by my former classmate, Alexander Yee, a socio-eco entrepreneur with a portfolio of tourism-related businesses.
Borneo is the 3rd largest island in the world and the largest in Asia....
Welcome to my article "Kompong Khleang - the only Fishing Village worth visiting in Tonle Sap". To most visitors in Siem Reap, after visiting the main temples in the Angkor heritage sites, the natural option is to check out the floating villages at the Tonle Sap. Travel guides will bring three main villages to your attention - Chong Kneas, Kompong Pluk and Kompong Khleang. My message in this short blog is to highlight why Kompong Khleang is the ONLY village that's worth your time...
Welcome to First-timer Road Trip to Okinawa - Part 2. This blog is a continuation of my earlier Okinawa travelogue (Part 1) which detailed my coastal phase of the road trip and marked the transition from the laid-back ambience of the northern part of the island to the hustle-bustle of Naha city in the south.
The itineraries flow from north to south is ideal as the airport is located at Naha in the south. Starting a vacation from the south and ending in the north...
Welcome to this my First-Timer Road Trip to Okinawa - Part 1. To most travellers, a trip to Japan is usually the mainstream cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, or the winterland Hokkaido. Unlike the key cities, Okinawa is less on the mind of most travellers heading to Japan. Personally, my interest in Okinawa was roused by pictures of Whale Sharks at the renowned Churaumi Aquarium. And being a military enthusiast, the happenings at Kadena Air Base, which is the largest and most active US Air...
Welcome to my travelogue on Mountain to Coast Adventure in New South Wales, Australia. When was the last time you truly love your vacation and missed it deeply after you returned? If you love long road trips with a scenic views, then this is one of the best there is. Just about an hour's drive from Sydney, this route is known as the Grand Pacific Drive and is one of Australia's most spectacular driving routes. Most visitors are familiar with the metropolitan capital city of Sydney or the...
Welcome to my article on Sydney South Coast Vintage Biplane Aerial Adventure. As a kid, I was always fascinated by all the things that fly, from birds to aeroplanes cruising high in the blue skies and marking contrails. I always wondered, how amazing it would be to pilot a plane. But as life would have it, my aerial ambition would remain a childhood dream.
Most of our encounters with aeroplanes are usually with the airliners we took on an overseas vacation. It gets you in comfort to your...
During my last trip to South Australia, I "stumbled" on a little piece of gem. Due to inclement weather, my travel mate and I chose to explore Hahndorf instead of the Pink Lake, as the dark overcast skies were threatening to open up. What we lost in our aborted plan, we gained by the visit to this little charming village that is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement which celebrated its 179 years as this...
In most of my travel overseas, a visit to the city or town main market is a must as it's the best place to get a feel and dynamism of the locale. A market tells a lot about the country that you are visiting. In Adelaide, a visit to the Central Market is a definite must-do. It has been described as a "multicultural hub with fresh produce, gourmet goods and lots of heart" in the South Australia Travel Idea Travel Ideas...
Beautiful coastal views, fabulous scenic drive routes, great dining and adventure pit-stops are some 'ingredients' necessary for a memorable road trip. Kangaroo Island in South Australia ticks all the boxes for a perfect laid-back yet exciting vacation. So it comes as a surprise to me that most people would think of this beautiful island as a day-trip or a 1-night stopover destination. I hope my travelogue based on my...
