Hua Hin #Wanderlust + 20% off Drone Rental!

Date visited: August 2018 Let’s Sea Hua Hin: website here. The girls and I were planning a nice getaway to celebrate my bff’s upcoming wedding, and being such fickle-minded people we couldn’t decide if we wanted a city adventure or a beach getaway… so we decided to have both – a 5d4n trip to Hua Hin & Bangkok. Side note: I was particularly excited about the beach because I’d been in Auckland winter for the past 4 months… and I was CRAVING for some sun and beachside relaxation. Although we planned to do lots of things in Hua Hin, like visit the pretty Santorini Park, our hotel Let’s Sea Hua Hin was so delightful that we opted to spend more time indoors and around the hotel. Here’s more info so you can plan your next trip there pronto! Getting There. Initially, we wanted to take the bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport…

Weekend Getaway in Waiheke: The best spot do absolutely nothing

Date visited: July 2018 After 3 months of being in New Zealand, we finally got around to visiting Waiheke Island for a weekend getaway. Since Waiheke Island is only a 40 minute ferry ride away, I have basically no excuse as to why it took us this long to check it out… we’ve just been so incredibly busy doing adult stuff (and watching my plants grow.. but that’s beside the point). Fun Fact: I’ve started harvesting spinach and lettuce from my garden to EAT! Yum!! Fun Fact 2: I’ve caught over 10 slugs last week… ugh. Back to the main topic, I really wanted to escape the city life for a couple of days and soak in some nature without travelling too far, so Waiheke was the perfect choice. Despite crazy rain on the last day, we had a gorgeous time surrounded in nature. The biggest highlight for me definitely…

My Destination Wedding: Bali (Vendors & Tips!)

Wedding: September 2017 Starting Budget: SGD $20,000 Ending Budget: approx. $27,000 (incl. accommodations for guests, our own flight tickets and extension at the wedding villa) As most of you may know, I have just recently held the wedding of my dreams in the Island of the Gods – Bali. Looking back, it was the most amazing night of my life so far, and everything turned out like a fairy-tale. I’ve decided to finally get down to sharing contacts, vendors & tips (sorry it took so long… i got lazy haha). WHY BALI? Having a destination wedding is the perfect reason to keep it small, and the closest of the closest who REALLY WANT TO BE THERE will fly overseas to be there. People also wouldn’t be offended if we didn’t invite them. yasssss! Location-wise, Bali is only a couple of hours away and quite affordable to fly to. It also…

Bali’s Most Instagrammable Villa – Cloud Nine Estate

Cloud Nine Estate: Jalan Rsi Markandya 2. Banjar Sebali. Desa Keliki. Date of Visit: February 2017 Guys, this is definitely NOT a sponsored post in any way, but I just had to share this gorgeous villa with everyone (though a little reluctantly, because I’m definitely looking forward to going back there, and I don’t want them to be fully booked or have their prices increase haha). Since we travelled there in February for a pre-wedding photoshoot, we were looking for somewhere a little more luxurious (but still affordable) to stay at, so as to complete the whole happy experience. My good friend recommended Cloud Nine Estate long ago, but it was slightly out of budget so I never got around to treating myself. Until this trip. Let me tell you, it was so worth it. It’s literally a little piece of heaven in a quiet corner of Ubud! Every corner was…
