Hiking the Parc national des Calanques was definitely one of the highlights of my trip.
It was also one of the most gruelling activities I've ever done. But it was oh, so worth it!

Postcards from Cassis, France

I’ve never been more thrilled to have found Cassis when I was researching for my trip. After seeing photos of the Calanques, I just had to see make my way there. Cassis is only a 30-minute ride from the Marseille Saint-Charles station, and once you’ve alighted, you will have to get on a bus to […]

FacebookTwitterGooglePinterestMail Aix-en-Provence is a charming little city about 3-hour train ride from Nice. To be honest, getting to the city centre wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. You’ll have to get yourself to the Gare d’Aix-en-Provence TGV, their high speed train station, then take the bus to the city centre, which is 20km away. The […]

FacebookTwitterGooglePinterestMail Nice is a great transit point in the South of France, with easy access to the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport by tram (from the Jean Médicin station) and its comprehensive train network. It was my stopover city before venturing further west to Aix-en-Provence and Cassis, and again before my flight home from Nice. The […]

Postcards from Florence, Italy

Agnes — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 17:14:16 +0000

Too many postcards from 4 days in Florence back in August? Not at all! The millennial version of these postcards can be found in my Instagram Stories (includes a painting of Keanu Reeves). Florence, or Firenze in Italian, just oozes with history at every corner. The heart of the Renaissance era is still remarkably preserved, […]

Pura Tirta Empul

Agnes — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 14:26:06 +0000

Pura Tirta Empul is one of the most beautiful temples in Bali, hands down. Located in Tampaksiring, about an hour’s drive from Ubud (blog post here), this Balinese Hindu temple is a must-visit. After my flight booking was confirmed, Pura Tirta Empul was the first destination that I researched. After a couple of hours in […]

Postcards from Ubud

Last week, Yen and I embarked on a 5-day getaway to Bali for a much-needed break. We headed to Ubud, the cultural heart of the Hindu-majority island. The people are warm and friendly, not to mention there are rice fields aplenty! Located about an hour’s drive from the airport, I highly recommend visiting Ubud for […]

FacebookTwitterGooglePinterestMail Ah, Bangkok! Cheryl, Saran and I spent 4 days (or was it 5?) in Chinatown to source for supplies for DIYKL (sign up for our workshops here!). No trip to Bangkok would be complete without a trip to Pratunam Market and Platinum Mall. Trendy and high-quality clothes for an average of 200 baht each […]
