Travel Review // A Rainy, Wet Trip to Nikoi Island, Indonesia {2023}

Back when the pandemic was but a whisper we had a trip to Nikoi Island Resort booked with some dear friends. We’d talked their ears off about how amazing it was and they had finally agreed to go there with us. It was also my friend's birthday around the time of our trip, so we …

Travel // All Aboard for 9 of the World’s Most Exquisite Sleeper Train Journeys {2020}

I've been wanting to share this post for a while, phase two of covid-19 in Singapore has meant a lot more time ferrying the kids around and a bit less 'me-time' or writing time. But today is an uncharacteristically rainy day, so I've put a cardigan on (this only happens twice a year here in …
