About Me
Hello! Welcome to my blog.
✈️⛰️🐟
Travelling the world is my dream, but I do not envision myself as a full-time traveller.
The purpose of this blog is to jot down my travels so that I have something to reminisce about and share with friends. It is a lifelong passion project of mine and doubles as a way for me to practise writing. Writing is meditative and expands the mind and my perspectives.
I am not into touristy places, mega-malls or picture-perfect summer beaches. Rather, I am into nature – the mountains, the sea, and the countryside.
I try to go the unbeaten path, and I like to travel as a pair. Solo-travelling does not work well for me as I enjoy sharing real-time experiences with someone.
The travel bug bit me when I was a student in 2014.
I was on a semester-long university exchange at Innsbruck, Austria and took the opportunity to travel to Western Europe extensively while on a shoestring budget.
That blessed episode was life-changing and affected how I perceive life.
I began my career soon after but continued to explore the world as much as my annual leaves, weekends, and wallet permit.
It was then that I started hiking, and later, scuba diving.
Fast forward to December 2019: I left my comfortable workplace and stable income to visit New Zealand on a Working Holiday visa, intending to learn more about the primary agriculture industry and experience life overseas from scratch.
That chapter lasted for two years due to the pandemic. You can read more about it under my posts on New Zealand.
I am now back in Singapore, planning, writing and backpacking whenever I can.
And that’s all for now.
