I wanted to avoid the crowds by exploring the area early in the morning instead– and I’m so glad I made that decision by staying overnight in Arashiyama. The hotel I stayed in made my Arashiyama experience even better. MUNI Kyoto hotel was perfect and these are why I think you’ll like it too: 1. They have the best location! The hotel is located just by the Katsura River, a short walk to the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, the insta-famous %…

I live and work in the busy city of Jakarta, where everything seems to be moving so fast yet I can’t help but feeling empty inside. I wanted to find some serenity & a deeper meaning into life. And since I’ve also been interested in spirituality, I, along with a friend, then decided to embark on a ✨healing trip✨ to Ubud. We found a half-day Healing Retreat held by Pasraman Bali Eling Spirit.

3 Must-Visit Lakes in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada

Feeling very nostalgic as I’m typing this 🥲 I spent my early 20s living in Canada– the most beautiful place I’ve been so far when it comes to nature. Their turquoise lakes are just as pictured, or probably even better. So here’s my top 3 list (not in any particular order) of the most beautiful lakes in British Columbia (BC) and Alberta (AB). 1. Moraine Lake, AB I’m sure you’ve seen similar pictures like above before. I’ve seen it a couple times in meeting rooms- with motivational quotes underneath the picture 😀 This is Moraine Lake in Alberta. I went…

sometimes all you need is a slower day… in the mountains. in japan 🙂‍↕️

been to Uji 3 times, but this was my first time visiting Wazuka

found a peaceful little tea house in Uji 🍵

sometimes i like to be delusional about my potential 🔆

i can never stop talking about the lavender farm near lake tekapo. walking around the field while having a gooood sniff of lavender was a core memory for me. it’s definitely one of the highlights of the trip 🫶
