The Only Bali Itinerary You’ll Need in 2023 With Ubud, Nusa Penida, Northern & Southern Bali

July 12, 2023 by Bino 2 Comments

Bali is often considered one of the quintessential places to visit in Asia. So strong is its draw that nearly 40% of all foreign tourists to Indonesia make their way to the mellifluous sounding island famous for its unique style of Hinduism, beach clubs, rice paddies and luxury resorts. 

Many visitors who hail from nearby countries swear by the allure of its charms. They come to Bali not once or twice but make it an annual affair (or even more often than that). Whether you are into beaches or culture or nature, there is something for everyone here in Bali. In this suggested itinerary, I show you how you can visit Bali for up to a week’s duration. You can easily trim this down, depending on the length of your stay – picking activities here and there dependent on where you are staying.

If you are visiting Bali and contemplating how long you need to spend in the island, I would suggest you go for 5 days / 4 nights minimally if it’s your first time and you intend to explore a bit. While it’s easy to do day trips to various parts of the island, the lack of major highways could mean that you could be facing traffic jams especially in places frequented by tourists.

The Perfect Cambodia Itinerary With Phnom Penh, Siem Reap & Battambang – One Week Travel Guide

June 20, 2023 by Bino 1 Comment

Cambodia has perhaps been squarely identified with Angkor Wat that those who have not visited are hard pressed to find a different reason to come. For someone who used to be stuck with this mindset, it took me six long years before I made my second visit to Cambodia (my first one was to see the temples of Angkor).  What I discover during my subsequent visits (there have been 7 as of this writing) have always left me eager to uncover more. There are a lot of things that have kept me coming back, including the delicious food, the multifaceted architecture as well as friendly people. For folks who have yet to visit or are deciding whether to do so, I hope my suggested Cambodia itinerary which runs through Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Battambang will be of help!

The Perfect Itinerary for Uzbekistan & Tracing the Ancient Silk Road From Tashkent to Khiva

June 12, 2023 by Bino Leave a Comment

Mention the word Uzbekistan and thoughts of the ancient silk road immediately comes up. Cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand have been etched into many a wanderluster’s minds as being synonymous to adventure and the exotic. These days, Uzbekistan is a frequently touristed destination, though nowhere near popular places such as Thailand or even India. This particular itinerary shows you how you can do the main silk road cities of Uzbekistan in just one week.

Tip: When entering Uzbekistan, you will need to declare exactly how much cash and valuables with you. The key is that after your trip, you should not leave the country with more foreign currency or precious metals than what you came in with. It may be quite a hassle upon arrival as it causes a bit of a queue at customs.

June 9, 2023 by Bino Leave a Comment

Within two decades, South Korea transformed itself from a developing country to a first world country. Today, millions of visitors head to Korea to experience the Korean culture that has been propagated so much through their local TV shows and movies.

Seoul’s metropolitan area is home to more than 25 million people and there’s always something happening at any given time of day. Contrary to perception, there is so much more to Seoul than just Korean drama filming spots, cafes and shopping centers filled with cosmetics shops and clothing stores. With how Seoul is often portrayed in the media, its rich heritage and natural landscape can easily be overshadowed. Set between mountains and a river, the capital of South Korea provides a wonderful experience for every traveler.

Seoul is the country’s window to its past, present, and future. From monuments, ancient palaces, temples, culinary delights to outdoor recreation, Seoul has it all.

May 17, 2023 by Bino Leave a Comment

Batu Pahat and Muar are two cities in the Johor state of Malaysia that are known for their rich heritage, delicious food and friendly locals. With only two days to explore both cities, visitors can experience the best of what each city has to offer with a short Batu Pahat and Muar itinerary. If you don’t have enough time to spare for an overnight trip, you can also use this itinerary for a Batu Pahat day trip or Muar day trip.

In Batu Pahat, visitors can go cafe-hopping and check out the local museum. Moving on to Muar, visitors can take a stroll along the river and admire the stunning views of the city’s short but distinctive skyline. They can also visit the parks for picnics and outdoor activities or go for a cultural walk.

The PERFECT Ho Chi Minh City Itinerary – Saigon Travel Guide

May 15, 2023 by Bino Leave a Comment

Ho Chi Minh City is the commercial hub of Vietnam. Although less traditional than the capital, Hanoi, and possessing less potential in terms of outdoor activities compared to Central Vietnam; the city which is also still called Saigon to this day offers a lot of diversions to keep the traveler busy in what could be a fun-filled Ho Chi Ming City itinerary. From quirky concept cafes to marvelous architecture as well as ultra-happening rooftop bars, Ho Chi Minh City is perhaps better thought of as the place to go in order to experience modern pleasures. If you are making your way around the country, this city is a nice complement to the other parts and personally, I would think of Ho Chi Minh City as the best place to end a trip around Vietnam.

Other than that, if you are here just for a short getaway, Ho Chi Minh City also has plenty of activities to keep you preoccupied for 2 or 3 days. This Ho Chi Minh City itinerary shows you where to go and the places to eat during that jaunt.

5 Unforgettable Trip Ideas Under S$10,000 For Your Next Vacation

May 1, 2023 by Bino Leave a Comment

5 Trip Ideas to Let Your Travel Desires Run Wild

One of the main considerations when planning for a trip, aside from deciding where to go, is the budget to allocate for the whole journey. The dollar amount varies greatly and differs from person to person. Some may not set any budget at all and only have the destination in mind.

Regardless which of the two categories you fall under, it is safe to say that spending S$10,000 for a trip would allow for something rather comfortable, or even luxurious. Depending on the duration as well, one can squeeze in business class flights, stays in high-end hotels and resorts, degustation meals and perhaps even personal guides to show you around. Here are some of my top picks for that once in a lifetime trip.
