1 Comment / myanmar, tips, travel, what you could get in the city for $10 / By

Hi everyone!

I know, we’re all frustrated with the situation. This is not the right time to travel still, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t plan out our next travel destination right? It helps us to expect better things to come, and keep our hope high!

So, after we covered the capital city of Vietnam Hanoi last week, this week we’re going to cover the city that used to be the capital of another country in the Southeast Asia. As you’ve probably read the title already, yes… We’re gonna talk about Yangon on this week’s $10 series!

I’ve been to Yangon and Bago City a few years ago, but I feel like I could explore more places around Myanmar. Today, we’ve got Adriana of Czech the World to outline how far we could go in Yangon. So, what could you get in the city for $10?!

Hi everyone!

So, in case you didn’t know, I’m finally back in Vietnam after 3 years. It was the first country that I visited as a solo traveler.

And while this time I kinda get used to doing everything alone when I travel, I understand as someone who comes from Southeast Asia region, some people just ask you a lot of questions about your journey.

Some ask questions out of curiosity, some do it because they’re inspired to do it too, while the others have a little concern about the idea of traveling alone. And that’s totally fine with me. While I think I’ve had a fair share of experience getting the benefits of traveling alone, I understand that not everyone has been exposed to the idea.

Now that I’m in Chau Doc, I’ve got some spare time to write as I’ll be on my way to Ha Tien tomorrow, and then continue my journey crossing the border to Cambodia the next day.

This time, I’ll share with you some questions frequently asked about traveling solo in Southeast Asia. The questions that I often get asked, especially as a woman traveling alone around the region.

Travel Fashionably From Head To Toe Around South East Asia

Leave a Comment / beauty, brunei, cambodia, indonesia, laos, malaysia, myanmar, philippines, singapore, tips, travel / By

In case you’re not familiar with my traveling style, my traveling style is something in-between a budget traveler and not-so luxurious one.

I mean, I’m totally fine with the idea of staying at a cheap motel with a small room as long as I could get a quality time through doing my makeup without any disruption. I’m not exactly the kind of person who would ask for a pic anytime I see a good stop for the ‘gram, but clothes and makeup are the essential things for me to travel comfortably.

I’m not exactly fashionable, as I’m kind of a sucker when it comes to the idea of mix and match things I’ve got in my clothes. However, I’m not exactly a t-shirt and jeans kind of person either.

So, if you could relate to the situation and you’re planning to travel around South East Asia, let me share with you the tips and trick on how to travel fashionably in this part of the world! 😉

As you know, it’s pretty rare to find me writing a post with such a short title like this, but here I am. This time, I want to share some tips about how to travel smart in ASEAN countries because, who’s a better person to tell you if not me, someone who’s a part of the tribes?

And for those who are not familiar with ASEAN, then let me tell you a piece of my knowledge. ASEAN stands for the Association of South East Asian Nation, an intergovernmental organization in this part of the world. And no matter how our people say otherwise, we’re pretty much similar from one and another.

I mean, if we’re so different, then why the heck people looked at me as if I was a trashy Filipino who could barely speak Tagalog in Manila?
