I don’t know about you guys but for me, Japan is one of the best countries in the world!

If both Tokyo and Sapporo are on your bucket list...

7-Day Peru Itinerary With Guide + Budget (Pinoy Solo Traveler)

If you ask me what’s my favorite country out of the growing list of countries I visited, it would be hard to answer honestly. But definitely Peru would always pop into my head alongside Japan as my reply. Personally, visiting Peru’s Machu Picchu has always been a dream of mine ever since I was in high school and...

2-Day Kandy Itinerary (Sri Lanka) And Travel Guide On A Budget

It was September 2019 when I first visited the island country of Sri Lanka where I both visited two of the most populous cities in Sri Lanka–Colombo and Kandy. I must say that Kandy is a more chill and relaxed city than that of Colombo; and also way cheaper! Although I only have two days to spend in Kandy as I need to...

Samarkand is a real gem along the ancient Great Silk Road. This iconic crossroads between east and west was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.

1-Day Tashkent Itinerary And Travel Guide With Budget All-In

Despite stories that there is nothing to see in Tashkent, I still wanted to give it a chance. And I’m glad I did. By utilizing Uzbekistan’s 5-day visa-free transit, I managed to enter Uzbekistan last November 2019 through Tashkent airport. With only one day to spend in Tashkent before I head south of the country, I was able to see...

3-Day Bishkek Itinerary And Travel Guide With Budget All-In

Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, is actually just a 5-hour drive from Almaty, Kazakhstan. But since I was entering the country through visa-on-arrival, I flew in to Bishkek airport (from Almaty) where my visa can only be processed. And just like Almaty, the Kyrgyz capital still has retained its former Soviet Asian flavor.

5-Day Almaty Itinerary And Travel Guide With Budget All-In

Almaty was the capital of Kazakhstan until 1997 when it was moved to Astana (now Nursultan). One of the reasons given for the move was because of Almaty’s geographical location–it is in a southeast corner of the country. I, on the other hand, moved and traveled down south from Astana to Almaty due to the extreme cold of Astana.
