A long weekend in Bangkok, Thailand

May 30, 2017 No Comments

This was our first time in Bangkok and it was a blast. We spent 4 days, 3 nights in the capital of Thailand and with little time, we tried to see all the city had to offer. The city is bustling with tuk-tuks, food stands, and the sheer volume of people everywhere. It’s the metropolitan city of the country and even though it may seem crowded and busy, the people are friendly to tourists and we felt completely safe! Read on for our list of must-see-must-do’s in Bangkok, Thailand.

3 Reasons an Expat Should Get VPN

February 2, 2017 No Comments

Wherever your next destination is, technology is advancing at a rapid rate. With countries around the world where internet traffic is monitored or in some cases, restricted, I recommend signing up for a VPN service. Here are 3 reasons an expat should get VPN.

But first, what is a VPN?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. In simple terms, it means that when you turn on your smartphone or laptop to access Facebook, you’re actually accessing Facebook from somewhere else in the world, not where you physically are (although that’s an option as well). With a VPN service, you first connect to a server that’s located anywhere in the world, as long as your VPN provider has a server there. Once enabled, any traffic that you’re sending, goes into that server and out of that server to hit wherever you initially wanted to go.

Read on to see how a VPN service can help you!

3 Days in Prague – Itinerary & Tips

October 24, 2016 No Comments

A beautiful city with a mix of historical buildings dating back to the medieval times and modern landmarks that bring the city to life at night. It was never on my list as a must-go destination but to be honest, I am so happy I got to visit the Bohemian gem. I found a great deal that had a 3-day layover from Toronto to Hong Kong back in 2014 and took advantage to see the Czech capital. After I booked my ticket, I started researching online on the must-sees and must-eats. After hours, I came up with my own itinerary for 3 days in Prague, which is hopefully helpful for you as well. If you’re looking for an itinerary that is not too packed but still enough to see the different things the city has to offer, look no further – just read on!
