by Leticia Espinosa and Ralf Kies So, we are declared #MebasGroupies, and it was just a matter of time for us to find an excuse to visit them at their newest postcode: Sao Paulo! What better excuse to plan a two weeks holiday in Brazil during Carnival, than the arrival of #AlexiaRocks and the Meba’s …
Ramen… one of my favorite Japanese foods… I am certainly not an expert in the topic, but I am definitely a fan. Maybe even a little obsessed! Its a very popular dish, normally a broth that can be made from pork, chicken, fish… together with noodles. These vary in thickness and texture dependent on the…
In March 2015, my mom came to visit us in Singapore. We had a fantastic time here, and got a chance to show her what our life is like. As part of her visit, we planned a visit to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Our previous experience in the country (Ho Chi Minh) convinced us this…
Sorry for the delay in posting this! This trip was done in August 2015, during the Singaporean National Day Holiday. We haven’t done a guest post for a while so this will be a special one. We traveled to Manado in North Sulawesi- Indonesia with a couple of friends (Leti & Peter) and their…
We had our eyes on this trip since we moved to Asia and this last December we finally managed to find the days and company to do it. It required some courage from our dear Mario and Israel to accept doing this “out of the beaten path tour ” but we were happy they accepted…
Living in Singapore is like living inside a dream bubble – it’s the life of friends from all around the world, lush nature, champagne brunches, fireworks and private islands. Now, imagine having all of that packed into one weekend – that was our Pangkil weekend! http://www.pangkil.com/ The concept: Pangkil is a private island available for…

In this post, we will tell you a bit about the place and what it took to get there, with a subsequent post on the places themselves. — Bhutan… we had been eyeing this remote Himalayan Kingdom for over a year, and actually planning the trip for over 8 months… This is one remote place!…
Penang is not even a couple of hours away from Singapore by plane so it is a very common destination for people looking for ‘cheap’ food and a little bit of culture. I am sure there is more to see on the island than what we experience but we too decided to focus on food…
What was supposed to be a relaxing Easter break in Singapore become a very exciting but yet chilled out holiday in Redang. We decided that it was a good time to take our open water diving certification so after a little bit of research we chose this island in the north east of Malaysia to…
For this trip, we had one thing in our mind and one thing only: climb Kota Kinabalu all the way to the top and come back in one piece. Our adventure partners were Richard and Hayley whom we trained with for this challenge. In retrospect I wish we had trained more and more focused on…
This is our neighbour country that we never gave too much attention. Lots of advents on TV would talk about Malaysia being truly Asia and it was only in the last few months that we got to know this amazing and diverse country. The first destination was actually Kuala Lumpur which we spent a couple of…
