Exploring Easter Island in Chile has been on my bucket list for the longest time. However, travelling there is not easy or cheap. I tried using my travel hacking strategies to book a flight there with my British Airways Avios for around $100 in each direction. And I was successful! Until COVID-19 happened, I…
Around the World Travel
On my most recent trip, my girlfriend and I ended up doing a Lima city tour. It was never part of the plan. My girlfriend and I got stranded in Eastern Canada for 5 days because of the poor airport management by Toronto Pearson. Out of desperation to find a way out of Eastern…
Doing the Annapurna Circuit trek has always been high on my travel bucket list. There just seems something magical about doing the Annapurna Circuit trek that enticed me to one day visit this famous Himilayan destination in Nepal. Maybe it’s the thought of going somewhere remote and peaceful. The Annapurna Circuit trek is known…
In one of the most infuriating and nerve-wracking travel experiences yet, I was unfortunate enough to have to deal with Air Asia’s incompetent system. I’ve had a good experience with Air Asia in the past but this is the first time I’ve flown with them on a connecting flight. Let’s just say this is…
Being stranded in the Maldives doesn’t sound so bad right? Wrong. After having a wonderful time at Le Meridien Maldives, I was ready to travel to my next destination. There’s just one problem.

When people think of Sri Lanka, they think of the 2022 economical crisis where fuel shortage is rampant. However, I got a chance to travel there for 3 nights and 4 days at the end of April 2022. I soon realized that while there is truth to what the media portrays, it’s not the…
Costa Rica has always been in my girlfriend’s bucket list of travel destinations. As for me, I felt neutral about it but I was more than happy to take my girlfriend there. My impression of Costa Rica since going there is that it’s pretty much like the United States. There’s Americans everywhere (which is…
During my most recent holiday, I got a chance to visit Panama on my way back home to Canada. After travelling in South America, I noticed that the best way back to Vancouver is to fly out of Costa Rica. And on the way to Costa Rica, I can spend a few days in…
After my Aeroplan booking got messed up when one of my flight segments was cancelled, I quickly went online to see what are my options when it comes to flying out of South America. As you know, travelling during the peak Christmas season is a bad idea in general. A lot of people don’t…
