#DiscoverHK: Grass Island’s Picturesque Panorama

Previously, we explored the numerous transport interchanges necessary to reach our destination, “Hong Kong’s biggest lawn”, the Grass Island, and in this particular entry, we embark on the thrill to find out what makes this island as coveted in the aspects of its picturesque wonder.

#DiscoverHK: Harbourfronts and the Grass Island

Status? Sponsored. For any travel writer the big “S” is a step up not only in the questionable self-esteem, but also a distinction in the harsh world of online writing where everyone seems to be a critic. Brownie points, a pat on the back, and honor to the family; we’ve done it ladies and gents….

Queensland Quintessence: The Great Barrier and Bare Feet

Kerns? ‘nah mate it’s more like Cans’. Quick look at the flight roster and behold I’m chucked in a city with a name I cannot pronounce to save my life. Square one problem was getting there in the first place. Like most of the passengers on Isle A of Hong Kong International, we live on…

The Philippine Getaway: A Hundred Islands in a Day

or so we tried. THE PEARL OF THE ORIENT SEAS! Being a fullbred filipino with Level 99 #PinoyPride it brings me much excitement to showcase one of the National Geological Monuments of my home country.

Maldives Madness: Island Life for a Day

So the postcards were right. CX flight 601 was the best thing I’ve heard since microwave popcorn, pancake mix, and cookie butter. Mum, being a flight attendant for Cathay Pacific for 24 years now, was rostered on a blessed 5-day pattern with the unreal-tinted archipelago of 1,190 islands. It didn’t take long before I maxed out the bank…

Hong Kong Exposure: Wong Lung Hang Falls

Legend has it Hong Kong experienced a time of peace, where its natives enjoyed what the land had to offer without the smell of Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch, Lush’s organic handmade soap, or the stench of the Central to Admiralty train at rush hour. This is Hong Kong, and as much as I prefer my trees, decent…

Sydney Excursion: Wentworth Falls and a couple beers

Exhibit A of the study holiday turned impulsive excursion scenario. (I did study everyday, honest, this was just “field work”) Yep. The decision to head down under was made under the irresistible influence of sleep deprivation, anxiety, and the reassuring presence of caffeine on the breakfast table. “Oh yeah, you’re heading over to Sydney to…
