My Favorite Travel Buddy!
People sometimes ask me who my favorite travel buddy is and without hesitation, of course I say it’s my husband! With my immense love for traveling the world, I was already expecting (a.k.a. claiming by faith, haha!) that God would give me a husband who shares my enthusiasm. And ta-da, God really did! Mor loves traveling as much as I do (or almost!), but as ironic as it sounds,...

Kelowna Love! (Kelowna, BC)
I realized that I wasn’t able yet to share about this place that we visited during our honeymoon last year so here’s an attempt at showing you guys the beauty of Kelowna! If you like quaint towns and are very outdoorsy, you’ll enjoy this place! The highlight of our daytrip to Kelowna was a visit to Summerhill Winery. Kelowna is famous for having a lot of...

I Ate My Way Through Spain
To be honest, I am the worst food critique. I will only say it’s bad if it tastes really really awful and everything else that’s edible, I eat. :| Whenever it’s time to order, I ask the people to order for me instead (unless there’s pasta, then I order white sauce pasta!) In Spain though, I kept on taking lots of food photos, which is also unlike me, and I kept on raving...

Finding it hard to read your Bible?
Reading some of the Old Testament books isn’t exactly a walk in the park. If you’ve tried reading Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy (and if you’re a regular human being like me,) you know what I mean! Here are some tips that I’ve gathered and learned along the way and I hope it can help you one way or another. Good luck to you and your goal of finishing the Bible this...

The Ultimate Travel Bag
It took me a while to find the “perfect” travel bag (slash proof, light and with enough compartments for organization purposes) but I think I’ve finally found it! Presenting my favorite travel bag thus far: the Travelon Messenger Bag! My first criteria when choosing a travel bag is that it’s anti-theft. Sorry that’s such a corny/practical/paranoid condition but I...

On Seeing Art Pieces Up Close
Seeing the actual paintings of artists I admire always makes me feel like I’m sharing something very personal with the artists themselves. It also makes me feel as though I’m taken back in time as I try to understand the reason and meaning behind the artworks. That’s why one of my favorite things to do when traveling is visiting museums where artworks of my favorite artists...

The Cameras I Use
A lot of people ask me which camera I use on my trips so I decided to make an entry about that. But in a sentence, this is my summary: I used to lug around my Nikon D60 but eventually I decided to travel light and have been using my S100 solely ever since. Another thing you might need to consider is: I post process all my photos. I get asked this a lot too, and for those asking which programs...

The Geography of Bliss
You all know I’m biased towards travelogues and travel-related books so it should come as no surprise that The Geography of Bliss is one of my favorites! Here, Eric Weiner travels to different places and tries to find out what makes them so happy (or unhappy) compared to the rest of the world. Charming, witty and definitely funny. I can read it over and over and still find new gems for me...

Glass Bottom Boat: Boracay
In one of my earlier posts, I promised to write more about our Boracay trip but I totally forgot about it and for that I’m sorry! I’ve been wanting to share about this tour that we tried: it’s called the Glass Bottom Boat tour! What it’s called says it all: it’s a boat with a glass bottom so you can see what’s going on underwater without leaving the...

The Gorgeous Taj Mahal
I’ve blogged about where to go in India aside from the Taj Mahal, but I haven’t blogged about India’s most famous site itself! So while I’m away on a trip (all these posts until I return are all queued!), let me share with you something from my last one! In reality, The Taj is a beautiful mausoleum built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his third wife. Legend says...
