Two years ago, my friend Cate and her husband Glenn gave their bridesmaids a generous gift – a free ticket to Bridge Climb Sydney. I knew about this activity which involves climbing the Sydney Bridge thanks to an episode of Modern Family where they all did it. And sure enough, when we got there, there […]
Cate’s Wedding Day
It’s my friend Cate’s second wedding anniversary to Glenn today and I realized I hadn’t even gotten around to blogging about it! It was a winter wedding held in Vivid Sydney. She had asked me to be one of her bridesmaids so I flew over for a few days to attend the wedding as well […]
Floriade @ Canberra, Australia {Deetour}
I just attended the wedding of my friend Cate to her now husband Glenn, so let me show you the pictures of the time when I first met him – that was when we traveled to Canberra, Australia for the Floriade back in 2017. I was actually really sick with the flu and was bedridden […]
Melbourne, Australia {Deetour}
I had a chance to visit Melbourne with my former roommates Cate and Tatsie, who are now based in Sydney. I’m actually attending Cate’s wedding in Sydney in a few weeks. We stayed in Ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel which is a pretty good basic hotel with an affordable rate. I like staying in Ibis hotels […]
North New Zealand: Hobbiton, Bay of Islands, Auckland {Deetour}
When my friends Drew, Kes, and I decided to visit New Zealand, we were advised not to go to both North and South island on such a short span (a week) but in the end we still decided to do both because we really wanted to see Hobbiton in the North. It was worth it […]
New Zealand: Queenstown {Deetour}
Sometimes, while traveling, you’ll be hit with the thought, “Wow, I’d love to live here.” I’ve experienced it maybe three times in my life, and one of those times was when I visited the gorgeous Queenstown in New Zealand. I mean, who wouldn’t enjoy having the stunning snow-capped Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu in […]
New Zealand: Pure Glenorchy Lord of the Rings Tour {Deetour}
While researching for our trip to Queenstown, New Zealand, I came across the highly ranked Pure Glenorchy Lord of the Rings Tour on TripAdvisor. Since New Zealand is famous for being the location where a lot of the Lord of the Rings were shot, we decided to book the half day tour even though we’re […]
New Zealand: Milford Sound Bbq Bus {Deetour}
When my friends Drew, Kes and I planned a trip to South New Zealand, our research told us that Milford Sound is one of the must visits while there. So we booked a Full-Day Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park Tour including Milford Sound Cruise and BBQ Lunch from Queenstown which had very high ratings […]
Sights of Sydney {Deetour}
This year, I decided to head to Sydney, Australia, where I have a few friends. These days, I make an effort to turn my travels into reunions with friends as well. So when friends tell me to go visit them in their places and I had never been there before, I try to take them […]
Hunter Valley, Australia {Deetour}
I had the opportunity to visit Australia and New Zealand last month and had reunions with different friends. I’ll start off blogging with my trip to Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia. The Hunter Valley, north of Sydney in New South Wales, is one of Australia’s major wine regions, with a viticultural history dating […]
