An Impromptu Trip to Valencia, Negros Oriental + Fares and Entrance Fees
They say unplanned trips are some of the best, and this trip to Valencia was certainly enjoyable. The waterfalls was lovely, the boneless lechon was awesome, and our habal-habal drivers were nice, helpful, and accommodating.
The Laid-Back Yet Posh Kafé Kaspar
Just like with several other restaurants, my first time at Kafé Kaspar was with my host family. It was just another rainy day with a twist, instead of eating in, everyone ate out. Even though it was my day off my au pair duties, I was invited to go with. So of course, I tagged… Continue reading The Laid-Back Yet Posh Kafé Kaspar
A Note about Terminal Security Checks at the Copenhagen (Kastrup) Airport
Security check at the Copenhagen (Kastrup) Airport is fairly strict. Especially when one has a ton of electronic devices, one will be required to take those out for x-ray scanning.

2016 has been great, though it was filled with its own share of downs and double and triple downs.
The Lights of Thor’s Haven
Tórshavn, or Havn for short, is the capital of the Faroe Islands. It derives its name from the Norse god Thor (Tórur) and havn which means ‘haven’ or ‘harbour’. It is a fascinating city by day, but by night? It’s a dazzling sea of light. And when viewed from the top of Argir, it is simply breathtaking.
When the Sky Opens up and It Truly Feels like Summer
Three months now I’ve been living with a host family here in the Faroes, and I’ve adapted pretty well to the ever meteoric weather. They don’t call this place the Land of Maybe for nothing. When I first came here, it was spring–with a twist. It rained, snowed and hailed alternatively until it was summer’s… Continue reading When the Sky Opens up and It Truly Feels like Summer
