Singapore The Ultimate Itinerary

Singapore The Ultimate Itinerary

Day 1
During the winter months in China, I’m always very eager to escape the cold and head to a spot where the sunshine warms my skin. My travel buddy, Rhea, and I decided on a weekend in Singapore before heading to Langkawi, Malaysia.

I’ve wanted to visit Singapore for ages because it’s such a beautiful, charismatic place that’s constantly reinventing itself and improving. The weather is superb all-year-round and despite its urban nature, it’s brimming with wonderfully-maintained green spaces.

Activities in Luang Prabang, Laos

Activities in Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang is where I fell in love with Laos. This charming town, located in the northern part of Laos, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is a blend of Lao traditional architecture with European colonial style buildings. The streets are filled with restaurants, shops, and temples.

After a quick 55-minute flight from Vientiane, we arrived in Luang Prabang. My friends and I had such a great experience using Lao Airlines. I highly recommend Lao Airlines for your travels within Asia. Most accommodations are found in the downtown area. However, we opted for a private villa using Airbnb along the Mekong River just outside of town. If you are a solo traveler, I would recommend staying in town where you have easy access to everything.

Vientiane, Laos

Vientiane, Laos

Laos is one of those countries that has been on my travel bucket list for a while. When I found out my bestie Lauren and her husband Carlos were moving to Laos; I knew I had to visit. Initially, I thought traveling to Vientiane, Laos from Shanghai, China would be super easy. However, there is no direct flight to Laos from China. My first leg was a red-eye from the Hongqiao International Airport in Shanghai to Kunming Changshui International Airport in China. After a long night of sleeping on the floor in the Kunming Airport, I caught my next flight to Vientiane.
