Feb 1, 2024

On a direct flight to Perth on Vietjet Air, I had the chance to fly in the unique SkyBoss class. Admittedly, the flight from Vietnam’s capital to Perth required an ungodly wake-up call to catch the 6.30am flight, but since it was direct, my flight to Perth on Vietjet had me home in just over six hours.

How to stay fit while travelling

Nov 16, 2023

Sometimes, I struggle to stay fit while travelling. In fact, I struggle to find time to stay fit even when I’m home and not on some overseas adventure. Even when I’m travelling specifically for the purpose of wellness, like to an Ayurveda retreat, the thought of controlled meals and organised fitness activities is probably my least favourite part since I love spontaneity. One of the joys of travel is enjoying the break in your routine, but if you travel regularly, it can play havoc with your fitness regime.

Escape to an Ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka

Jun 4, 2023

With the streets lined with Ayurveda spas, and I thought it was time to take my wellness journey up a notch with a stay in an Ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka. But I must confess, I was anxious about my stay in an Ayurveda retreat. I really like espressos, I don’t take kindly to being told what to eat and nor do I enjoy the taste of medicine. I wasn’t entirely on board with the vegetarian menu either during my stay at an Ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka, unlike my neighbour pictured below.
