About

Hi, I’m Aaron. Grew up in sunny Singapore before discovering the joy of traveling, exploring unfamiliar places and being within nature. I still hold my day job but try to do a couple of trips a year. I hope to share some of these amazing destinations so that you can enjoy them, be it in person or through the posts, and that’s what this blog is about.
