  • Monthly round: February 2026

    Apparently this year’s February was a special one. It had 4 days of every day of the week. If that’s not something to appreciate in these times, then I don’t know what is. The month started with a work trip to Adelaide. When I saw this statue pig with a helmet on in the main…

  • Happy New Year to all on here! I’m not sure if it’s the same for everyone but once January starts, I am filled with hope and excitement for the New Year. This year is no different. I’m not sure if it’s all the resolutions that I’ve written, the blank slate that comes with a new…

  • One of top things on my list of places to go to on my first return trip to South Korea since leaving in 2023 was Suwon. My old hometown. My stomping and sliding grounds in winter. The place I had chosen as my home away from home for a year based on a google image…

  • First time back to South Korea

    Earlier this year, I went back to South Korea for a holiday since leaving in 2023. It was only for a week (all the annual leave I had left) but I was so excited to go back and dip into my personal nostalgic world. Excited seems like an understatement. I carefully crafted my itinerary- I…

  • Hello, it’s me?

    That was a long writing hiatus. It was a mix of no longer wanting to write anything, my brain feeling like the above picture and the fact that my own wordpress homepage wouldn’t load in my internet browser for months. A quick google search today led me to try opening my homepage incognito and now…

  • Happy New Year! 2025

    Happy New Year everyone! I’ve been a little mia on the blog last year. After really struggling to readjust to being back in Sydney towards the end of 2023, these feelings and thoughts continued on into 2024. I started working again full-time and had no annual leave. It was just the grind. I hadn’t really…

  • With A Swipe Card That Works

    I always make sure I put a comment in my hotel booking for a quiet room. I wouldn’t be able to stand a room right in front of the elevators and have the ‘ding’ go off every 3 seconds or people congregating right outside. To be frank, if I wanted to have interrupted sleep, I…

  • If you’re planning on visiting South Korea in July and August, get ready for plenty of iced drinks and air-conditioning. The hottest months of the year (along with the wettest) will require some good shoes and back up plans. Summer: peak is July- AugustRain: peak wet seasonTemperatures: 25-30COther: high humidity ClothingSouth Korea as a whole…

  • Let’s Catch Up

    I’ve had these pictures sitting in draft for months and I’ve changed this blog post topic now for the 3rd time. I haven’t written a blog post in months for a few reasons. Let’s catch up. My job has now full steamed ahead. I’m back in a 9-5 and dreaming of better days. My job…

  • Another Quick Visit to Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

    I was fortunate to be able to return to Karlovy Vary last year for an overnight stay. Karlovy Vary is up there on my list of ‘beautiful architectural towns’. Only 1.5hrs by bus from Prague, Karlovy Vary looks like you’d expect all the princes and princesses from fairy tales to live which is not that…
