It’s been surreal you know, having found yourself in a place where atleast everyone and their grandmas have been referring to since the day I landed in South Australia. “Melbourne’s the place to be mate, it’s got the food, the looks, the art, the money.” I initially failed to grasp the suggestion, and misinterpreted it…

VoyagerZulu Year 2: Sydney’s Coasts and Sam Kolder
So there I was, making my way downtown (had to do it), all for a 9AM class on a rather dreary Monday morning, and what buzzed on my phone happened to be the greatest sight for sore eyes: LinkedIn congratulating me for a year’s worth of swashbuckling, a year’s worth of “where-to-next?”, a year’s worth of…
South Australian Stunner: DJI Phantom 4 vs. Adelaide
So I made the decision to advance to Tertiary Level education, as I figured an undergraduate degree was actually somewhat important. Who knew? This being the case, moving base was necessary, having accepted the offer to take the Bachelor of Aviation over at the University of South Australia. Ladies and gents, this is my sunset at Mawson…
Osaka Overnight: 12-Hour-Kyoto Temple Run
Hideyoshi Toyotomi against the Muromachi; perfect juxtaposition to a most physically taxing battle I was to have with sleep deprivation and fatigue, only to become what I’d simply describe to be a most refreshing immersion, leagues deep into the raw sights and sounds the sophisticated japanese culture had to offer. 1 AM flight onboard Cathay’s Airbus…
Swiss Splendour: Alps with a side of Movenpick
Day 2. Agenda? Titlis Gray Line Tours. Zurich – Kriens – Engelberg – Lucerne – Zurich. Three second google search of those places were lure to what’s simply put as eye-enchanting. For 156 francs per human (halfprice for halflings aged 6-16), the bus picked us up at the hotel, stopping over at Zurich Hauptbahnhof to pickup the rest…
Swiss Splendour: Schloss Laufen am Rheinefall
“On my behalf I want you to devour all the chocolate you see!”, suggestively quoted one of my close buddies upon news of my Shengen Visa approval and confirmed tickets to what’s singlehandedly one of the most aesthetically spectacular locations on the planet. CX383, a fully-loaded Boeing 777-300ER on premium economy, with a side of…
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. The Hundred Islands is a place I hold dear to my heart, not because of the undeniably great instagram-fodder, but…
Maldives Madness: Living It Local
“The island has its own prison!” says a fairly punctual Mr. Ali as he quotes us an agreeable 25 USD upon meeting us at the airport at 8 AM. Placed in a position of enthusiasm and confusion, a google search of Maafushi showed that it was once called “Leprosy Island”. For one I wasn’t too…
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…
