While there are no great mountains, deep forests or rugged coasts to hike along in Singapore, there’s no shortage of trails that will get you back in touch with nature just minutes from the bustle of city life.

Here are some ideas on where to get a …
Been to Penang a couple of times before, but first time I’m attempting to write about it! George Town itself is worth a few days for the food, historical sights, street art and more. But if you’ve gotta squeeze the highlights into one day, here’s how it might be done. This itinerary can be completed …
Rounding off my week long solo trip to the Philippines with a couple of days in Angeles City, right next to Clark International Airport.
