Here's Why Singaporeans Can't Afford A Vacation Every 3 Months
(Disclaimer: This post is obviously not refering to those who have to work a few jobs just to provide for their family or those who have to kids/elderly to care for; but rather, at those fortunate enough to be reading this through the latest Smartphone or own a wallet that cost more than the cash they have in it, and YET complain they need a holiday but they cant afford to.) Lake Bled, Slovenia I travel often. Every three months if I can find the time. No. I don't travel for

Impossible! Just 800 SGD? For 19 Days in Europe?
Well, obviously not Central Europe, but the part of Europe known as "The Balkans." In our previous post (18 Days Africa & Europe Under 2.2k SGD Nett!) we included the cost of the air ticket. This time round, we shall post like how most other bloggers do it and exclude the cost of the SIN-Europe MultiCity Ticket. Sounds a lot cooler this way! The lesser the cooler right? Singaporean style! But jokes aside, we didn't get a reasonable price this time round as we booked the ticke

18 Days Africa & Europe Under 2.2k SGD Nett! (Including Airtickets)
This is not a joke. This is however, something Singaporean's will struggle to comprehand given that their idea of a european holiday costs upwards of 8,000 SGD. (perhaps one day they may realize the idea of a holiday is to experience the country rather than live it up in a luxury hotel and shop for branded goods.) Now, we don't claim to be the most budget travellers on earth; because we aren't. (In fact, we know heaps of people who have done it cheaper than we have.) What we

Singaporeans Abroad - African Adventure Series (1.3) Chefchaouen - Africa's Answer To Santorini
We all know Santorini; that beautiful greek island decked out in blue and white buildings, the stuff of dreams for many a couple planning their honeymoon. Enter Chefchaouen, another city covered in blue; the absence of tourists giving it a more raw vibe. This isn't how Africa is supposed to look like. Well, very few places in the world are like Morocco; and even fewer, are like Chefchaouen. While it does get its fair share of visiters (mostly Europeans), it has yet to be cont

Singaporeans Abroad - African Adventure Series (1.2) Morocco - Atlas Mountains, Ouarzazarte, The Sah
While soaking up the atmosphere of Marrakech and Jemaa el-Fnaa is an experience of its own (in my previous post), there is another reason why people come all the way to this country in North Africa; The Sahara Desert. After a couple of days in Marrakech, we decided it was time to move on. With the help of our hostel(Waka Waka), we got ourselves a 3 days Sahara Desert experience with a local company. In addition to the Sahara, we got to have views from....... The Atlas Mountai
