    Male Solo Travels: Sapa, Vietnam.

    28 May 2020 / No Comments

    Just to give you some insights, Sapa is a little mountainous town (think Fan Si Pan mountain, Vietnam’s highest peak) located in Lao Cai Province, far away from the buzz of the main city areas. It’s filled with greenery, and is the home to many different ethnic tribal groups.  Over the last few years, Sapa has definitely picked up more tourism, attracting visitors to their rice paddies, mountains, forest treks, and overall breathtaking scenery.  In today’s blog, our fellow solo male traveler, Desmond, gives you further insights from his trip covering Sapa.  We asked: Which place in Sapa Valley gave you the best solo experience? Desmond says:  1. The Fansipan…

    A guide to bungee jumping & skydiving in New Zealand

    22 May 2020 / No Comments

    New Zealand is known for bungee jumping and skydiving activities as they have the postcard-perfect scenery that comes with it — and since it’s an experienced industry, you have a variety to choose from (such as a package that includes a recorded video of your skydiving experience).   The difference between skydiving and bungee jumping is what you’re jumping off — you jump from an airplane wearing a parachute with skydiving, around 13,000 feet in altitude. With bungee jumping, you jump from a platform with your body attached to a bungee cord.  We’ve all added one of these to our ‘Bucket list’ at least once in our lives — especially when…

    Singapore introduces SG Clean Quality Mark to ensure your staycation is protected

    22 May 2020 / No Comments

    Singaporeans, rejoice! The Circuit Breaker is finally easing up and life can resume to (new) normal. The best thing is, you can now take a break from staying in the confines of your own home. While international travel is limited and most countries still have their borders closed, you can instead enjoy a getaway in your own city. However, as we learn to maneuver through this pandemic, new regulations are being put in place and to that end, hotels in Singapore are playing their part diligently to ensure that you have a safe, clean and enjoyable stay. To ease guests’ comfort, the Singapore Tourism Board has launched a new auditing…

    The best 4 road trips to take in New Zealand for an ad-van-ture

    19 May 2020 / No Comments

    There are many ways to experience the lush, ridiculous beauty of New Zealand, but we’d argue that the best way is on the road. In a country so sparsely populated for its size, you can expect to have unspoiled views of epic landscapes. Whether you’re traveling by car or living the campervan life, driving allows you to get off the beaten track and explore at your own pace. From rugged mountains, freezing glaciers, thermal hotspots to deserted beaches and active volcanoes, New Zealand will awaken your love for the great outdoors. There are many routes you can take to explore New Zealand and the choice is endless. Here are our…
