Rainbow Mountain in Peru has been on my bucket list for a LONG time. Before arriving, I did some research and read some really mixed- mostly negative - blog reviews online.

Kuala Lumpur After a week in Borneo, I spent just over a week in Malaysian mainland, arriving first into the capital Kuala Lumpur quite late at night. The following day we got up early to go exploring, and already even at that time although it was overcast, it was really muggy and hot! Our first … Continue reading Malaysia, Truly Asia!
I only spent three days in Singapore, right at the end of my trip last year before my flight home. From the Perhentians islands in Malaysia, it was quite a journey to get there - a twelve hour night bus all the way down to the south of the country, followed by another couple of … Continue reading Three Days in Singapore
