Experiencing the real Hokkaido When we think of Hokkaido, the first two places that come to mind will probably be Sapporo and Hakodate. With the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, famous Sapporo beer, towering Mt. Hakodate, and unbelievable food, it’s little wonder why these places leave such deep impressions. But Hokkaido is much more than that.…
Hot air balloons rising over a dreamy horizon of more than 2,000 pagodas, glowing in the gentle morning sun — if this isn’t a place on your bucket list yet, it may very well be a new addition from now. Returning to Myanmar again for the 2nd time, we were curious to see how much…
Things to do in Myanmar There is no better time to visit Myanmar than now. As the country opens up to tourism (and everything else), it’s going to get increasingly crowded and touristy.

But at the same time, I also consider myself more than an amateur because I take so much footage for work that I inevitably gain…
So you’ve had enough of temples, explored every hipster cafe in the old Chiang Mai city and are wondering what else there is to do in this city. Speak to backpackers at the hostel and most would probably have elephant shows or a visit to the Tiger kingdom on their itinerary. But if you’re like us and visiting…
Located in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is often known as the more cultural and laid back version of Bangkok that our parents like to visit. Unless you have a keen interest in temples, pagodas and history, you’d have probably given this city a miss. Given 6 days to explore, little did we expect to find ourselves short on…
