Review Bus from Cambodia to Laos: How to Travel from Siem Reap to Pakse With Asia Van Transfer

Posted on September 21, 2020September 21, 2020 by Marya The BeauTraveler

I always love road trips!

And ever since I started planning my Indochina trip, I knew that I wanted to use either bus or train to get me from one place to another.

That, until I googled about the bus from Siem Reap to Vientiane that I found out the number of border services from Cambodia to Laos isn’t as many options like those from Cambodia to Vietnam.

After researching the options that I could take from Siem Reap to somewhere in Laos, I decided to make a stopover in Pakse. Honestly, when I decided to do that, it was actually my first time hearing about Pakse, so I barely knew anything about where to go or what to visit there.

However, I figured stopping by Pakse is an excellent way to go if I want to go across the border from Cambodia to Laos by land. I could stay for a night or two, and then continue my trip to Vientiane later. So I did.

Those who know me in real life know that I’ve gained weight ever since I started working from home in 2017. In my defense, those anecdotes about being in the quarantine full of napping and snacking… That’s my lifestyle for the past few years!

I’m not an alcoholic, but I eat enough junk food to get some beer belly myself. And ironically, it won’t stop me from wearing a bodysuit because I just feel comfortable to wear the outfit that shapes my body the way it is. Sue me, hater! 😛

Anyway, this gave me an idea to share the tips with my readers about wearing a bodysuit when you have a beer belly. So, what are those?! Check this out!

Review: Angkor Pearl Hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia

Posted on September 5, 2020September 5, 2020 by Marya The BeauTraveler

Hi everyone!

After talking about what I did in Siem Reap for a day, it’s time to share my experience staying at Angkor Pearl Hotel the other day!

One thing that I noticed about Siem Reap was that the average hotel rate is relatively higher than in Phnom Penh. If you haven’t recognized my traveling style already, I like my accommodation to be affordable yet comfortable.

I’m in my 30s, so hostels are definitely out of my options. I won’t say I’m so demanding when it comes to the accommodation, but I usually have one thing that is usually on my filter when it comes to searching for my ideal one: the elevator.

A Guide to Rebranding: Why and How to Do It Effectively

Posted on August 30, 2020September 1, 2020 by Marya The BeauTraveler

Hi everyone!

After a couple of years running this blog, I’ve just done some rebranding recently. It took me a while to finally execute my plan to rebrand, but I’m glad that I finally did it.

This was my second time to do rebranding for the blog, and I figure now that I’ve had some experiences to do it, I’d like to share with you why and how I do rebranding for my blog. Rebranding sounds quite simple, but believe me… It takes so many considerations to finally do it.

So, at what point do you need to rebrand? And how can you do it effectively, but as efficiently as possible? These are my whys and hows!

6 Things I’ve Taught Myself That Are Beneficial for My Blog and Business

Posted on August 15, 2020August 27, 2020 by Marya The BeauTraveler

Ever since I started working from home, whenever I come across some of the acquaintances or relatives, they would begin to the small talk about how working from home treats me. While some of them had that question only for the sake of small talk, some of them would genuinely ask me how to do it.

Looking back, there are many things that I’ve taught myself only to find their benefits when I applied it to my blog and business these days. I’m not a teacher by nature, so I’ve always lost in words whenever I encountered someone who genuinely wanted to know how I did it.

I know some people who would recommend some of the online courses that benefit them, but I barely joined any specific course that I find beneficial in my career, so I usually don’t know what to say.

So in this post, I’m going to compile some of the beneficial things that I’ve taught myself. Because I figure if I can do it, then why can’t you?
