I never thought I would visit the edge of the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. Nope. I never thought I’d brave -40 degree temperature either, but I did. You might too if you had the opportunity to see the Northern Lights in Churchill. Yes, they were amazing. Beyond amazing, but my trip was […]

Are There Beaches in Singapore? A Visit to Siloso Beach in Sentosa

by on January 30, 2014 in Beach

After a visit to Sentosa I would have bet the translation of the word into English was “sensation.”  Singapore’s amusement resort, created for all ages, provides stimulation at every turn.

Langkawi is special place. The idyllic Southeast Asia holiday island was a great pace to capture the sunset in Malaysia.
