Hali and Katherine traveling the world
Some say that Kapas Island (also called Pulau Kapas) is Malaysia’s most beautiful island or at least it’s best-kept secret. For those unfamiliar with this place, Kapas Island is a small island in Kuala Terengganu, in the east coast of Malaysia. As of this writing (May 2018), it’s one of the less popular attractions to […]
Sometimes, I’ll have a wonderful time but find it hard to explain in words. What makes you fall in love with a place and what doesn’t? There aren’t always hard-and-fast rules, sometimes you just do. Such is the case when I spent a weekend in Kapas Island, Malaysia. I first heard about Kapas Island in […]
Southeast Asia is home to some of the world’s best beaches, there’s no question about it. One of the downsides though is that you’re vacationing with a thousand other tourists (sometimes more), and sometimes that can spoil the experience.

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 […]
It almost seems like a crime not to write about must-try foods in Malaysia considering that I’d gushed about it from day one. When Hali visited me last holiday season (just before our trip to Thailand), I made sure he get to taste the offerings in local eateries near the condo where I live. (He […]
