Destinations

I like to explore the world one step at a time—wandering through city streets, following quiet trails, and uncovering the stories that make each place feel alive. Whether I’m in a bustling city or a peaceful landscape, I’m always drawn to slow down, look closer, and truly experience where I am. Here, you’ll find my favorite walking/hiking routes, practical travel tips, and thoughtfully chosen destination reads—all meant to help you connect more deeply with every journey.

  • As a book lover, visiting Trinity College Dublin—a 400-year-old institution and alma mater of literary legends like Swift, Beckett, Stoker, and Wilde—was a must. Its Old Library is world-renowned, and the stunning Long Room is even rumored to have inspired the Jedi Archives in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Read, I must!

Inside, the Long Room impresses with its soaring shelves, marble busts of great thinkers (including newer feminist icons additions,Ada Lovelace and Mary Wollstonecraft), and treasures like the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic, the 15th-century Brian Boru Harp, the glowing Gaia installation, and of course, the exquisite Book of Kells. Make time for this bibliophile’s pilgrimage on your own journey to Dublin.

  • Set against Kinsale’s rainbow‑coloured streets and harbour backdrop, the piazza hosts a year round Farmer’s Market every Wednesday. As our first stop in Kinsale, we found ourselves snacking on fresh bread and farmhouse cheeses while browsing stalls filled with herbs, flowers, organic vegetables, and fresh fish as well as handcrafted jewellery, soap, lavender goods, wool wraps, prints, and other artisanal finds. It was the perfect spot for a leisurely mid day bite and souvenir shopping. Definitely recommend! 📍Kinsale Farmers Market  Every Wednesday, 10 am-1 pm.  #KinsaleFarmersMarket #KinsaleIreland #CorkMarkets #IrishFarmersMarket #MarketDayKinsale #WestCorkFood #FarmToTableIreland #KinsaleEats #FoodieTravel #IrishFoodScene #ArtisanIreland #VisitKinsale #LocalFlavours #SlowFoodIreland #MarketWanderings #TravelIreland #HiddenGemsIreland #EatLocalIreland #CoastalMarkets #GourmetKinsale #adventurousambles #walkingtheworldswonders #foodieireland
  • With a day’s layover in the dynamic modern city of Singapore, we decided to take a stroll through Singapore’s historic Chinatown.  We began at the iconic Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre, a foodie tourist’s dream, where the scent of sizzling satay and steaming laksa fills the air beneath a grand Victorian cast-iron structure. With over 200 stalls serving a dazzling mix of local dishes as well as global cuisine, we had a delicious time! From there, we headed to Pagoda Street, a bustling pedestrian lane lined with heritage shophouses, red lanterns, and souvenir stalls. Just around the corner, the Sri Mariamman Temple rises in a burst of intricate color-Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple and is a serene stop amid the buzz. Nearby, the outdoor street market spills across narrow lanes with vendors selling everything from silk and tea to quirky keepsakes. This short amble packs in vibrant food, spiritual tradition, and old-meets-new charm, offering a vivid slice of Singapore’s multicultural heart.  #SingaporeChinatown #LauPaSat #PagodaStreet #SriMariammanTemple #ChinatownMarket #SingaporeStreetFood #CulturalWalkSingapore #HistoricSingapore #ExploreSingapore #TravelAsia #UrbanExploration #FoodieTravel #Chinatown #HeritageTrail #WalkingSingapore #AdventurousAmbles #WalkingtheWorldsWonders

  • Cusco está hecho para ser vivido a pie. Esta ciudad premia la exploración pausada, con sus impresionantes vistas de la ciudad, enmarcadas por los picos andinos circundantes. ¡Pasear a un ritmo suave es también la mejor manera de aclimatarse a la gran altitud de Cusco (11,152 pies)! Comencé mi viaje deambulando por las calles empedradas de Cusco con nuestro atractivo guía, Sergio, en un tour a pie gratuito ofrecido por Yana Tours. El recorrido cubre todos los sitios icónicos y también ofrece una fascinante mezcla de historia, mitos, arquitectura y cultura local. Disfruté particularmente aprendiendo sobre el Niño Compadrito, la historia y leyenda de Pachakutec, y recorriendo el barrio artesanal de San Blas. ¡Fue un tiempo hermoso en Cusco!
