“People don't take trips... trips take people.” John Steinbeck, 1902 – 1968. Writer, Nobel Prize Winner Siem Reap with Kids? Why Not? While we love travelling as a family, Siem Reap, Cambodia was never really in our radar. Although I’ve personally been to Siem Reap for community work, it has never occurred to me to bring the kids to Siem Reap. Now that the kids are slightly more independent (4 years old and 7 years old), we feel it's right to explore more regional countries so … [Read more...]
How to Dress Kids for Winter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwzJbrqUiOg&t=21s Thick and big won’t do the trick Believe it or not, I’m not naturally inclined towards winter vacations, in particular trips involving snow due to the sheer amount of ‘logistics’ involved. But once there, when we see so much joy on our kids’ faces, all these inhibitions just melt away. From trial and errors, we realized that wearing copious amount of thick puffy jackets will only add weight to our family’s luggage yet they may not … [Read more...]
Courtyard by Marriott, Siem Reap Resort – A Review & Giveaway!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XilCWOY-r1c When it comes to family trips, I am the one who does all the research and bookings. In all our family trips, I am most particular about the place(s) we stay. Food I am not so critical but accommodation is the ONE which often makes or breaks a trip. Cleanliness, comfort, cost and fellow travellers' reviews are my key considerations. Since we did not go anywhere during the September School Holidays, David and I decided we would surprise the kids with a … [Read more...]

His driving is very safe and one of the perks is that we enjoy free in-car WIFI in … [Read more...]

Ways To Maximize Free & Easy Holiday Trips
As working parents who love to travel with our kids, it's essential that we try to maximize every holiday trip. Our annual leave is limited, our disposable income is limited and having to coordinate with our kids' holiday schedule is another tall order. So, whenever we can, we try to travel free and easy because it offers us flexibility to fully experience a country according to our pace, budget and needs. This is especially important because young kids tend to get impatient during long … [Read more...]
Rusutsu Resort – Best of Hokkaido, Under One Roof
A Chance Encounter With a 2-Storey Carousel We first stepped into Rusutsu Resort by chance. During our Hokkaido trip in Dec 2016, we took the airport shuttle bus from Niseko en-route back to New Chitose Airport, and it made a quick stop at this resort to pick up passengers. We took the chance to come down and stretch our legs but what greeted us left us awestruck – a two-storey high carousel (free for in-house hotel guests) complete with a warm, inviting, almost Disney-like ambience. I … [Read more...]

Crowne Plaza, Copenhagen Towers
Doing a DIY trip can be quite unnerving, especially so with young lively kids and to a far flung cities. Even though DIY trips give us greater control over the itinerary and potentially cost-savings, whenever we plan a DIY trip, we look out for good, affordable accommodation that can provide us with just that little bit of extra comfort. This was our 2nd time visiting the Danish Capital (the first was with an organised tour group to Scandinavian in June 2016), and we've … [Read more...]
