Cruising Alaska’s Inside Passage with Holland America

July 1, 2022 by Dave2 Comments

One of the great things about cruising is leaving the logistics to others. Certain destinations are ideally suited to cruises including Alaska, due to its vast geographical distances, remote landscapes and rugged coastal beauty. Our Alaskan Inside Passage cruise was on the Holland America Eurodam, a ship whose inaugural sail was in 2008. We first cruised on this particular ship in 2015 in the Caribbean. One certainly becomes spoiled, merely … [Read more...]

A Beautiful Day in Kundasang, Sabah

June 20, 2022 by Teh Chin Liang3 Comments

My worn slippers scuffed against the rock-strewn path, crunching gravel and pebbles underneath the thin sole. The peak of Mount Kinabalu was clearly visible miles ahead of me. The horizon was painted in flaming red as the sun began to penetrate the mist and brighten up the sleepy green valley down below. A brisk morning stroll took me to a war memorial on a hill. Standing at the top of the staircase, I watched the quiet town slowly come to … [Read more...]

My Highlights of a Visit to Cap Haitien, Haiti

June 1, 2022 by Dave2 Comments

Nonstop flights leave from Miami to Cap Haitien daily (only about an hour and 45 minutes) and the small airport is located only about 20 minutes from town. Arriving in the heat of the day it was a short walk to the entrance to the airport where musicians were jamming some local flavors. A quick breeze through customs (helped by the fact I was the first one off the plane), no luggage to pickup and I was soon outside of the airport where my … [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...]

Isabel Leong Travel Blogger

April 12, 2022 by DaveLeave a Comment

You started your blog in 2015. What or who inspired you to become a travel blogger? You're right - my blog was launched in 2015, when I began my first solo international journey around Europe. The blog was meant to be a platform for me to catalogue my travels and share travel tips, itineraries and budget hacks.
