Where should I travel to next.......  I have completed all my planned trips for 2026. Being only March, there are still a good 9 months to go for the year. So far this year, I had visited Kobe , Kyoto , Osaka and Hong Kong . I had also taken 2 short cruises that made port calls in Georgetown (Penang) and Phuket . With these trips completed, I no longer have any confirmed trips for the year. Of course, I will still be travelling. But where to? A trip to Taipei has been in the plans for quite a while but is yet to be decided while additional trips to Hong Kong to visit my partner are definitely on my travel agenda for the year. Will I be making another trip to Japan this year? Maybe to cities in Japan that I have not visited before.

Working and generating deliverables for ...

The 135-year old Eastern & Oriental Hotel, also simply known as E&O. Following my stay at the 150-year old Nikko Kanaya, the E&O was the next heritage hotel on my travel bucket list and I was glad that despite a relatively barren year of travel in 2024, I did actually get to stay at both the Nikko Kanaya and E&O during the year. Heritage hotels have a rather nostalgic feel with their rich and storied histories. Staying at these hotels and walking along the same hallways that many historical figures had walked before was a surreal experience. Especially so when some of these historical figures were amongst those we read about in hi...
