Travelling is harder for me now because I can’t carry heavy things anymore. I already have to bring my walking stick, a water bottle, umbrella, jacket, hat, sketchbook, pens, watercolour, sunscreen, and sunglasses … the list never ends. So I decided to stop bringing my camera whenever I travel. My phone is my travel companion…

A walk by the sea
Anne’s challenge this week is to post something about relaxation — and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. I’ve just come back from a wonderfully relaxing escape in Dauin, Dumaguete, Philippines. Dauin is a lovely spot in the Visayas region with a population of just over 30,000, I found the town to be peaceful and…
Snippets of my first week in Vietnam
First week in Vietnam 🇻🇳 and my senses are still catching up. Hanoi streets buzzing with fast-moving tuk-tuks, horns everywhere, and energy that never seems to slow down. From the calm, misty waters of Ha Long Bay to the exciting buzz of Hanoi Train Street. Peaceful views one day, coffee by the tracks the next….
