A Little Cabin in the Arctic Wilderness: The Journey of a Girl in Pursuit of Happiness in the Northernmost Permanent Settlement on the Planet

February 1, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

October has always been one of Cecilia's favorite months. The sky over Longyearbyen, Norway (78.2232° N, 15.6267° E) is painted in incredible shades of blue. Wisps of thick clouds roll over the awe-inspiring mountains, putting a mysterious veil over the peaks. Her mood is immediately elevated to a new height in this picture-perfect weather. It is the last month of the year she gets to soak up the sun before the two-and-a-half-month polar night … [Read more...]

Bern’s Steakhouse, Tampa Florida

February 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

One should wander into Bern's Steakhouse with a singular focus - in search of an experience. Whatever that experience is - it will differ from person to person - but it must involve enjoying an antiquity. An old bottle of wine, to be purchased and shared with strangers. New friends immediately found. Only open for dinner. No reservations? Come a few minutes before 430pm for their soft opening and hopefully catch a seat at the bar or a few … [Read more...]

A Visit to Muckross House and Killarney National Park, Ireland

January 29, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first trip to Ireland was somewhat of a blur. I stayed in Dublin recalling that most of my time was spent hanging out in pubs and drinking - because that is what one does when visiting this city! However, my most recent trip to Ireland was a bit was not about 'drinking' tourism, rather more about heritage and exploration away from the bigger cities. My travel buddy and I landed in Cork (the southern part of Ireland); we were immediately … [Read more...]

I was priveledged to visit Qatar several years ago on a several day stop over between some other countries in the region. I flew … [Read more...]

My Visit to Singapore

January 29, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

My first visit to Singapore was about 10 years ago - it was just a weekend stop therefore despite being such a small country, I did not have time to fully explore the country.

January 27, 2021 by Dream Big, Travel FarLeave a Comment

waterfall on The Isle Of Skye

In the summer months of 2020, we decided to embark on a crazy adventure. But rather than being thousands of miles around the world, this one took place on a friend’s front lawn … we decided to convert our own campervan! In recent years we have been lucky enough to backpack and road trip more than 40 countries all around the world, so adjusting to life in one place had been tough. VERY tough! So we decided we may as well make use of … [Read more...]
