When we were planning our 4-day, 4-night trip to Da Nang, Vietnam, Rodel sent me a link about a unique activity to do in Da Nang – Paragliding! I didn’t know that there was such an activity in Vietnam. It was something I hadn’t done before, and being someone who is always game for new […]

Preparing for a trip is already an adventure in itself. There’s something about the anticipation and counting down the days until the flight or road trip, that just gets me excited.

Going on staycation / traveling together is my love language. I love going on staycations with friends to catch up and connect.
