Reflect, take action…live!
Briefing on the night before the trek (2nd Dec): This was when I was told I'm the only one who will be on the trek and I was given the option to join a local tour group or go on my own. It was an easy and difficult decision at the time since I'm happy... Continue Reading →
Altitude sickness...no. Lack of sleep...yes! Chilling out for the day...absolutely yes! I'm getting the hang of these night bus travels, I think. Cusco is a stunning little place with everything at one's reach and I can see why some of the people ended up staying for an extended time or just move here because I'm... Continue Reading →
The highlights in Arequipa are people, food and the Colca Canyon trek. Here is where I met the lovely chocolate covered inside out Hilary and the foodie James. Both of them from the States and lived elsewhere for a very long time. Hilary, from Delaware, was in China for four years, studying and teaching plus... Continue Reading →
After two transfers and sleepless night, I arrived in Lima. Anxious as I am with Peru with all the talks about how unsafe it is for a single female to travel around, I choose an airport bus transfer (way cheaper) than a taxi/transfer offered by the hostel. From my experiences in the past month, it's... Continue Reading →
Crossing the border over to Costa Rica was a breeze, it's a matter of just following the crowd and the TicaBus' services were commendable. Upon arrival at San JosĂ©, I was whisked out of the city to EscazĂș. Nine nights stay means I get to add a little bit of stability into this life of... Continue Reading →
I thought that the last four countries in this first leg could be written all in one post, scrap that! Why?! Nicaragua...I have too many thoughts to put down on written words. After leaving Guatemala, I was rather on a high because of all the familiarities to Malaysia and it's almost reminded me of my... Continue Reading →
Guatemala reminds me of Malaysia with its tropical rainforests and rural culture. The border crossing and the ride into Flores was simple enough but under no circumstances thinking to exchange money here cos the rates are very bad. Most places take cash only in the country, so ATM is the best option. On the bus,... Continue Reading →
A little apprehensive with the unknown and at the same time excited that it's finally happening. The flight to Cancun via Mexico City went well with plenty of time for the connection especially with the extra bit added in to collect baggage and re-check it in. I must have been travelling for at least 36... Continue Reading →
After a last minute planning and organising, my sister and I managed to put together a short trip to Canada. Trying to figure out the balance between city and nature is hard but I think we made it worked. The destinations, city will be Montreal and for nature we'll be spending some time in Gatineau....

She might not know but she's always been like a second mom to me, being the eldest and all. She left home very early in her life, in a bid to help the family and to make something of herself. She's the epitome of the strong intelligent woman that I aspire to be, adaptable and... Continue Reading →
