Langkawi Island

Seoul
May 14, 2015 to May 19, 2015We made a multi-day layover in South Korea during our flight home this time. The plan was to spend all our time wandering around in Seoul instead of making unnecessary travels to fully make use of our 3 full days there. Although English isn’t widely spoken in Seoul and most local folks speak minimal English,… Read more…

Jamaica
Feb 16, 2015 to Feb 21, 2015Made an impromptu decision in one night to visit Jamaica.

Nevertheless, we used this opportunity to escape the brutal cold winter and to… Read more…
