  • Lavender Farm near Lake Tekapo, NZ: 7 Things to Expect

    If you’re doing a South Island road trip and stopping by Lake Tekapo or Mount Cook, there’s a lavender farm nearby that’s worth adding as a quick detour. It’s calm and scenic. I think it could be a relaxing stop in between long drives! We visited NZ Alpine Lavender in…

    3 Things I Learned from Google Digital Garage – Fundamentals of Digital Marketing

    Why did I sign up? I took a digital marketing subject back at uni. The subject was sort of an introduction to digital marketing and how to go viral. While it was an interesting topic, I wasn’t able to ✨connect✨ with the prof’s teaching style and therefore couldn’t get a really good understanding of the subject (I know, my best luxury purchase in 2021- lol).

    4 Days in Secluded Tropical Paradise Derawan, Indonesia

    It’s been ~years~ since my last visit to Indonesia. Before Covid hits, I had the chance to explore the beauty of Derawan Islands. I wanted to visit this place because I thought it’s a hidden gem with beautiful clear blue water. So I gathered 3 of my friends and we started planning.

    Bali Trip – Places to Visit on a Quick Getaway

    A few months ago, I finally had the chance to visit my family in Indonesia and attended the most enchanting & beautiful by-the-sea wedding in Bali. It was the first time after 2++ years I last visited Bali, but I only had 3 days to spend in Bali. Yes, I had to schedule it well. I think I did a pretty good job. Here’s a list of places that I went to in that short Bali trip 1. Kintamani: Café HoppingIt feels that Kintamani area has grown really rapidly these past few years. It’s no surprise though, as the view…
