My very first morning in Munich, I reached there pretty early in the morning. While waiting to check in at the Euro Youth Hotel where I was staying at, I decided to check out the city via the Sandeman’s New Munich walking tour. It’s free and happens twice a day (1045am and 1pm), so if…
More Munich stories! I know I’m pretty behind on my blogs, but since Munich (and a lot of Europe actually) is still under a cold spell, this is still relevant, yeah? Bali and Brisbane posts coming soon… 0nward! So while I didn’t go to the famed Schloss Neuchwanstein (I was persuaded towards Dachau instead), I…
Crossposted from Go! Girl Guides, where I’m a contributing blogger. Check out the site for more great articles from other freewheelin’ travellin’ girls that go! It is close to midnight in Dubai, the girlfriends and I were all back at our five-star hotel dressing up, ready to check out the local clubs and have a…
After our wonderful stay at Qasr Al Sarab at the edge of the Liwa Desert, we headed straight on to Dubai. I’d been to Dubai back in the summer of 2007, so I was curious to see how much it had changed in the last 5 years, though with just 1 night there I didn’t…
I loved Munich because being there was ridiculously festive, with the copious beer, gluhwein, Christmas markets and company, so when my travel companion S suggested heading up to Dachau to visit the concentration camp memorial, I was definitely not very keen, and put forth my suggestion to go up to see Neuschwanstein* Castle *You have…

A lot of times I get inspired to wanderlust by great pictures and quotes that I find on the Internet. I came across this really great quote and thought it really resonated with one of my recent pictures from my Abu Dhabi trip, so after fiddling around on Photoshop and Indesign for a bit, here’s…
Hope you’ve been enjoying the Unholies in UAE posts so far! KL took the girls out to Saadiyat Island for a little girly-time and R&R. When people hear ‘Abu Dhabi’, they tend to think of it as nothing more than a desert region and forget that beyond endless sand dunes, it’s actually home to other…
The one thing I loved about Munich more than the beer were the Christmas markets! In Singapore where it’s tropically hot and all you get are tinny Christmas carols in ridiculously crowded shopping malls, being in Munich made me feel like I was truly experiencing Christmas for the first time – sipping hot gluhwein in…
For my Munich trip, I had a great stay at the Euro Youth Hotel, a hostel with dormitories and private rooms near the central train station. I decided based on a rec that I read on Adventurous Kate and generally good reviews from the web; I had contemplated getting a hotel room, but I was…
