The Broke Student’s Guide To Travel
Isle of Skye, ScotlandHalloooo everyone! Back again with yet another travel post to end off the extremely transnational week I’ve had – because why stop when you’re on a roll right? If you’ve been following me on instagram and snapchat you’ll know that the previous weekends were spent shooting for Laneige in Seoul and thenContinue reading #2036 | SCOTLAND EXPEDITION: ISLE OF SKYE
London, England. This Airbnb Listing What is with these beautiful apartments? Not quite a studio apartment, which by virtue of pedantic definition limits itself to a wall-less type of one-room living, but not exactly a family flat either. What do you call these in betweens? Regardless, I’m a convert. Over the past year I’ve hadContinue reading #2033| Jemma for Airbnb: Edinburgh Boutique Apartment
Mocha Mondays is a new and semi-regular feature on cafes and how workable they are, for freelancers or students looking for a place to park themselves at while getting work done. It may or may not actually feature mocha. Apologies, guys, the Mocha Monday series that I was so enthused about at the start ofContinue reading #2030 | Matcha Mondays: Cha Cha Matcha
If I said I were the outdoorsy type, I would be lying. One with nature I am not. I prefer my day to day life regulated, with reliable transport, data, and stimulation: addicted to the grid, I am 100% a city girl. But occasionally I get cajoled into trying new things, and so my firstContinue reading #2029 | Upstate New York: Roadtripping to Catskills
New York, AmericaOh, New York. This Spring marked my third time in New York, the city of my dreams. I can’t really explain why I love New York so much even if I tried – so you’ll just have to take my word for it when I say there’s just something about the city… AndContinue reading #2027 | The Broke Student’s Guide to New York
What is with my new obsession with pink and parkas? It’s like I went back ten years to my high school sense of fashion, which was basically all pink everything, and all the time. I got this parka off a random online site, at some ridiculously low price, and have been wearing it to death.Continue reading #2026 | Jurassic Parka
Gold Coast, AustraliaMy first brush with Gold Coast was at the tender age of ten; I remember the beach, the koala sanctuary, and the new pen pal i made at the hotel’s breakfast buffet table, who never replied any of my letters. Ah! Bittersweet memories, that. Fast forward fourteen years and I felt my heartContinue reading #2022 | Absolute favourite things to do in Gold Coast
Sydney, Australia Airbnb/jemmaYet another one to add to my list of interesting slash unique Airbnb finds. Last September I was in Sydney, technically for Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival, but in reality I’d flown seven hours to spend some precious hours with dear friends that I hadn’t seen in ages. The great thing about globalisation, IContinue reading #2019| Jemma for Airbnb: Sydney Warehouse Livin
Johor Bahru, MalaysiaIn the spirit of spontaneity and youth, a group of us made a trip down to Johor Bahru earlier in the week. Somehow or other, I have survived twenty three years a Singaporean without ever having made it to JB, because I have no idea why. Anyway. As a first timer in JB,Continue reading #2017| The Anyhow guide to JB
I did Abu Dhabi last October with Etihad Airways, and came face to face with the realisation that my dressing, which I till then had thought was relatively conservative, was actually atrocious by Middle Eastern standards. When plunging into a new culture it is only polite to respect their cultural boundaries, which meant that theirContinue reading #2011| How to dress for Abu Dhabi
