Tracing my Sacred Places

January 16, 2023 by Cecile RiphagenLeave a Comment

One of my long-lasting and still remaining dreams is to visit as many sacred places as I can so I can feel the earth vibrate. Vibrate not only with all the feet that have passed before me, but also with the energy gathered in those special places. People have prayed there, laid their head on the ground or just simply sat to let the special energy wash over them. You come back different with an enriched soul and a calmed mind in an otherwise fast … [Read more...]

Play Airline Puts Iceland Within Reach of Budget Travelers

November 23, 2022 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

It’s a courageous move for an airline to begin flying new transatlantic routes during a transitional time for the airline industry, but that’s exactly what PLAY has done. This Icelandic airline was founded in Reykjavik in 2019 by a team with significant experience in the aviation industry. They started flying to Reykjavik from the East Coast of the United States in 2022. I recently flew PLAY’s daily nonstop service to Keflavik, Reykjavik’s main … [Read more...]

Fatspatrol (Fathima) Mohiuddin, Artist and Muralist

June 10, 2022 by Teh Chin Liang1 Comment

Q1. You started your art journey by painting on your bedroom walls when you were 13. Does art run in your family? Did you ever imagine that one day you’d taking your painting from your bedroom’s wall to a building’s wall? My brother and I are both artists. He was more of a natural  showing real talent at a young age. As his younger sister, I kind of followed what he did. I read his comic books and copied drawings out of them and that started … [Read more...]

A heavenly Oasis at Plas Robin Rural Retreats in Wales

May 3, 2022 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

The word ‘luxury’ is overused – as are ‘tranquility’ and ‘unique.’ Yet, as I discovered at Plas Robin’s retreats in the heart of the rural Wales, sometimes justifiable. A picture, it is said, paints a thousand words and, to be honest, the breathtaking views from these two bespoke holiday homes perched atop the rolling Welsh hillside, do most of the talking! However, it’s only after staying in the Shepherd’s Rest lodge for three nights … [Read more...]

Boyd McCleary, Former Governor of the British Virgin Islands

December 1, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang6 Comments

Boyd was the British High Commissioner to Malaysia when I worked as Contact Database Officer at the High Commissioner Kuala Lumpur in 2009. Despite his high- profile status and prominent role, there was never a barrier between him and the rest of the staff.  He is a highly charismatic leader with a fun-loving sense of humor. He always dropped by our office and chatted us up, and the conversation always ended with a good hearty laugh. … [Read more...]

Often, travels morph into a list of things to see and do. Sounds boring, doesn’t it? There are ways to make it as diverse as 22Bet Nigeria.

Tom Waller: Producer, Director and Writer

September 3, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

In 2018, a group of young Thai football players and their coach found themselves stranded in the flooded Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand. The rescue mission that involved countless divers, military personnel and volunteers from many countries took over 2 weeks to safely pull every one of them out of the cave. The incident once sent a shock wave reverberating around the world. A year later, this nail-biting rescue event was made into a … [Read more...]
