Malta is probably the most colorful island I have visited on my world travels. I was mesmerized by the bold and bright colors against the white limestone. If you are a budding photographer or if photography is your passion, then I’d love to suggest you book a trip to Malta. We’ve just spent one whole […]

The Travelling Stranger In Istanbul Turkey or An Angel In Istanbul? I drove into Istanbul for the first time in my life at peak hour – guided by a GPS that could not be trusted. Dusk was creeping into the afternoon sky, and the voice that guided me from this device instructed me to turn […]

We’ve just spent the best part of ten hours on buses coming from Melaka to Penang. Not one bus, but three buses! And not just driving, there seemed to be long waits where we sat for what seemed forever. On a positive note, the buses improved with each swap, with the last bus being executive plush […]
We have just had the most incredible time in Singapore. We have been here writing the Top Ten Things to Do for Kids and finished off with a great stay at the iconic Raffles Hotel. We wake to a rather smoggy day and the air is thick from the fires and burn-off of Indonesian fields. […]
Singapore is amazing and is an ideal location for families. From little toddlers to teenage kids, you’ll find Singapore jam-packed with exciting activities that will keep your kids off their phones and technology, and out of the hotel room exploring this amazing city. We first booked only four nights here in Singapore, but soon found we […]

This morning we sadly left our resort behind on Batam Island and headed by taxi to a rather remote local ferry terminal on the far side of the island. Not speaking Indonesian and looking very ‘touristy’, we found all eyes were on us as we paddled through muddy puddles with our new Samsonite luggage. We buy […]
