I don’t get to travel as much as I used to, but all travel posts go here!
One thing about me is that if I decide to make something happen (e.g. study in Japan), I do my best to make things happen. This is probably a recurring theme if I continue talking about travels and other bits of my life (it’s not always a good thing) and this is one of the… Read More Are Private Tours Worth It? A Review of Mountain Goat’s Private Lake District Tour
For someone who just came back from a week in Japan, I didn’t have that much tea. I did visit a tea farm (which I cannot wait to write about once I settle into this new job) but other than that, I can only think of three instances where I had tea and wanted to… Read More Teas I had in Japan
I normally don’t like tours when travelling, but while googling places to visit in the Isle of Skye, I realised that I had absolutely no idea what to prioritise and whether we could even drive around. Since the rest of our trip was planned and booked by us, we decided to just get a tour… Read More Tour Review: 3 Day Tour of the Isle of Skye and the Highlands by Heart of Scotland Tours
It is perhaps a testament to how books can hype up a trip that when I saw the listing for 87 Micklegate, I knew that I had found our accommodations for our time in York. I had been reading The Service of the Dead by Candace Robb and was in a pretty medieval York state… Read More Staying in a Medieval House: My Review of 87 Micklegate, York
Before I went to Scotland, I decided that I had to buy Scottish tea. The whole idea came as I was watching Escape to the Country (Hi Netflix, please bring it back) so I started googling for places to buy tea from. Nicole from Tea For Me, Please suggested Kinnettles Gold from Pekoe Tea and… Read More First Impressions of Kinnettles Gold + My Visit to PekoeTea
Exactly a week ago, my sisters and I were hiking to Suicide Peak in Clear Water Bay, a pretty major feat since I am afraid of heights. I’d love to reference my trip to the Isle of Skye here, but I haven’t even written that post (time evidently doesn’t flow linearly on this blog) but… Read More Hiking to Suicide Peak With a Fear of Heights
It may sound a bit strange that someone in Singapore is writing this, but we always spend some time in London when we visit my sister in England and as a tea drinker, I try to plan a few tea-related things in. So far, these are the three things that I’ve enjoyed immensely and think… Read More Three Things Tea Lovers Should Do in London
I had a moment of panic when I googled York and found out that despite my self-proclaimed sweet tooth, I didn’t even know that York had the title of “chocolate city”. I didn’t even know that there was an attraction named York’s Chocolate Story. But once I heard of this attraction, I knew that we… Read More My Visit to York’s Chocolate Story
My stomach periodically gets a little antsy (long-running gastric thing) so my house is always filled with ginger tea. But, I am always open to trying new things so when I needed something soothing and found The Digester, I decided to give it a shot. Tea Review: The Digester From the description on Bird &… Read More Trying The Digester + My Visit to Bird & Blend Tea Co. in Manchester
I totally missed this the first time I visited London, but when my dad told me that he wanted to visit the Greenwich Royal Observatory and see the prime meridian, I started to look at what else was in the area. That’s when I found out about the Cutty Sark. It’s the last surviving tea… Read More Visiting the Cutty Sark
