While activity packed Cape Town has […] Read more…
Imagine if you will narrow cobbled streets strung with continuous rows of low-roofed houses, sitting under an imposing mountain backdrop and bright blue skies.

The mere mention of a visit to New Zealand is enough to get my quarter kiwis in a tizz, having become raving fans of the place last year on a visit to the South Island’s Dunedin.

Sentosa Island is bit of a Singaporean kids’ central.

Travel doesn’t always have to be about the journey or the destination. Sometimes it’s more about the moments. Some of them are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but others leave their mark on you forever. A pilgrimage to Nan, a province on the Laos border of North-Eastern Thailand, delivers just such a moment. […] Read more…
“Guangzhou is lit!” squeals my son, pun totally intended, his face illuminated by a giant radiant pig. He’s spot on, the city is luminously lovely from the thousands of red lanterns lining its streets.
