I had the lovely pleasure of meeting some of the folk from travelmob, a social-stay website where you can host and book alternative accommodation in various countries around Asia Pacific.

They invited me to share one of the places on my Travel Bucket List, and it got me thinking about the places that I want to head to. There are so many countries, but check out why China is on my bucket list here!

Besides that, I also had the chance to speak to CEO Turochas 'T' Fuad in an interview, find that hereMore »

I was asked by TMTT to contribute an article as a featured blogger on their website. After some brain wrecking, I dug up my old journals and did a little feature on Gaudi's major works in Barcelona. His colourful and unique pieces are still firmly etched in my memory as one of my favourite architects/artists today.

I was interviewed in February by The Upcoming, a London based daily online publication and featured in their Lifestyle and Fashion section! Several TOTshop items were highlighted, including the Plastique* accessories and the Scratch Maps. TOTshop is also described as 'a place of complete idiosyncratic and significant character', which is kinda cool =)

Hajar Ali, who also runs Urbane Nomads invited me to submit a postcard anecdote of a favourite travel moment. I took quite awhile to ponder upon this, and there are many moments, but this one has a pretty nice picture to go along with the story

This little snippet about Chipiona and my journey with R got me flipping through my Spain journal and reminded me that I still have a LOT more old journal content to put up here!

The lovely Anne from Prêt-à-Voyager did a feature on me and The Occasional Traveller in her iconic Boarding Pass series!

in 2007, I took part in this Moleskine x Air France competition to promote the Moleskine City notebooks by submitting my Taiwan graduation trip account, rewritten in a Moleskine Cahier (the original on-trip copy was written in a journal TKL gave me from India and had all my bits and pieces stuck in it.)

I made it to the Top 50 Journals, won myself 3 Moleskines, and my Travel Journal Moleskine went on an exhibition tour to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, check out the exhibition pix here!

I'm gradually recounting my Taiwan journey from my journal, you can follow those posts hereMore »
