Hali and Katherine traveling the world
I feel like talking about night markets (also called pasar malam) is similar to going to the heart of the Malaysian culture. In its essence, pasar malams are street markets that operate from mid-afternoon ’til night, and here you can find local delicacies and products made by local businesses as well as artisans. There are several […]
Living abroad has been a huge learning process for me, as it is for anyone who has decided to try their fate overseas for the first time. I feel like this is something one needs to personally experience to understand. Ever since I was kid, I’d read and watched stories about expats, but I could […]
Hali is the kind of person to capture small details rather than wide-angle views. It’s one of the unique things about him that I find endearing. It’s actually me who asks him to take photos that we can specifically use as travel shots. He also likes to capture wildlife, and after I’d published a post […]

So, first of all, Koh Lipe is absolutely amazing. If you’re a beach person or just wants to see the best sights in Southeast Asia, we’d definitely recommend this one. If you haven’t yet, you can read our previous write-up on why we like Koh Lipe, Thailand. So now that’s out of the way, here’s […]
