Malibu, Los AngelesFollowing the announcement that caused a tizzy the world over, I signed up for my own Airbnb Trip Experience. More accurately, I got signed up – two weeks before I boarded for Los Angeles, I got a text from Elaine (from Airbnb) asking: So.. what are your thoughts on surfing? If you’ve beenContinue reading #2061 | #LAdiaries – Airbnb Trips: The Adventureman
Aloha guys! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done my last BSG, so I thought I’d ease into 2017 with a generic (read: non destination specific) one that all of you could potentially use and hopefully find useful. One thing that crops up quite a lot in my BSGs is seeing an influx ofContinue reading #2059 | The Broke Student’s Guide to the Pre-Trip Checklist
Los Angeles, AmericaHey guys, So, I spent a lot of time alone in Los Angeles, purely by virtue of the fact that I was there on a work trip and knew no one else going prior to the trip. Of course in my time there I made friends, both from Singaporean press and otherwise, butContinue reading #2052 | LA diaries: Funny stories from Griffith Observatory
Taken at The Last Bookstore, Downtown Los AngelesLos Angeles, AmericaWhat are the stories you want to tell? This is a question that followed me around like a little rain cloud throughout my press trip to Airbnb Open LA 2016.

Tokyo, JapanAnother day, another beautiful Airbnb. We stayed in this gorgeous traditional meets modern apartment in Shin-Okubo, Tokyo, on our recent Japan trip. Shin-Okubo is better known as Koreatown in Tokyo, which is strange because anything korean related only spans one small street. That said, it is a wonderful area in Tokyo, not subject toContinue reading #2049 | jemma for airbnb: totoro in shin-okubo
Hay guys! So I just went to Korea with Laneige for a whirlwind three days, an experience I detailed properly in a separate post (because there are so many things to talk about! SO MANY!). The Korean HQ very generously put us up in JW Marriott DongDaeMun, which was both breathtaking and deliciously convenient becauseContinue reading #2047 | Best Beauty Buys in Seoul
Hey guys, So those of you who are long-term readers know that I’m way neurotic about my schedule and time, which results in a. an obsession with planners (google calendars, paper planners, notebooks, everything!) b. a low/no tolerance for time wasting during what I call waste-blocks of time (in between meetings, on buses or trains,Continue reading #2045| | WORKAHOLIC’S GUIDE TO TAKING A PLANE
Bangkok, ThailandSo guys, it’s been about seven months now since I’ve started renting my own office space (jeez, time flies) and it still remains one of my best decisions to date. Most of you who follow my Snapchat/Instagram will know that I work out of this coworking space called The Hive, where I have aContinue reading #2044 | Digital Nomading – How to Travel and Work Anywhere
London, UKThis Summer, I flew to London on a Skyscanner challenge to update and expand my Broke Student’s Guide series in London and the UK in general. Thus, forthcoming: topic specific guides on budgeting your way across the UK while still having a blast (I know I did) – and today, we look at ArtContinue reading #2042 | The Broke Student’s Guide to Art and Culture in London
One weekend in Korea. My brushes with Seoul of late have been frequent, short, and sweet, what with the turn of the new year’s 24 hours of madness and this past month’s weekend in Seoul. I’ve been partnering with Laneige for over a year now, ever since my Uniquely U campaign with them last year,Continue reading #2040 | LANEIGE BEAUTY CAMP 2016
