Marina Bay Sands is the most iconic landmark of Singapore with a ship-like rooftop platform connecting three hotel towers. The big platform on the top boasts the world’s biggest infinity pool, which is probably the most attractive selling point of this resort. I splurged and spent one day there during my stay in Singapore.
After 4 years, I was finally able to make a trip to Asia in February 2023. My first stop was Singapore, a country that has been on my list for too long. I spent 3.5 days there and had a wonderful time. Singapore is green, clean, safe, modern, diverse, efficient, and delicious. Other than the humidity, it is perfect to me.
Around Christmas 2022, I brought Ariel to the Death Valley National Park. Death Valley is famous as the hottest, lowest, and driest place in the US. It features unique landscapes and wildlife.
Pacific Coast Highway or PCH is a must-see for anyone who visits California. It’s spectacular and worth a drive. I have driven PCH multiple times between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It never disappoints. For my Thanksgiving trip in 2022, I decided to try the part north of San Francisco.
It’s that time of the year again. October is the month for fall colors. Before the leaves fully fell out, I went on a spontaneous trip this past weekend to catch some foliage of 2022. This year, I decided to visit a few less known places at the border of California and Nevada.
To me, kayaking is a perfect combination of exercise, natural views, and peaceful moments. This summer, I brought Ariel on board! It’s fun but also requires lots of preparation to kayak with a dog.
“The west coast is the best coast.” It is true in every way. When it comes to sightseeing the Pacific Ocean coastline, what’s better than hiking right next to the Golden Coast?! Nothing is more healing than watching the waves splashing the rocks, walking in the salty ocean breeze, and bathing in the golden sunshine.
I consider the area between San Francisco and Palo Alto as the Peninsula area. Peninsula never dries out and thus is great for hiking year round. You don’t have to choose between the ocean and the mountain. You get gorgeous views of both.
In the winter of 2021, my friend introduced me to the Perfect Progression Program at Palisades Tahoe, a high-value program for beginners. I figured it’s time to give snowboarding a try.
Planning a trip with a dog is hard. I have to either arrange dog-friendly activities and venues or book dog day care in advance. However, the effort is worth it. The trip is more fun and fulfilling when I travel with Ariel. Here are some of my tips on how to travel with a dog, specifically a pet dog like Ariel.
