No trip to Scotland is complete without a Haggis Adventure. And no, I’m not talking about the oaty goodness that dances on your taste buds. The Haggis adventure I’m talking about took us on a Highland tour.

Moments in Melbourne

From the moment you start planning a visit to Australia, you know it’s going to be an adventure. Mine happened in Melbourne, the world’s most liveable city. It was exciting from the moment we started looking at places to stay. Hotel Club Melbourne is a good place to start your search, especially if you want to be close to the action, but we decided on the enticingly-named Wonga Park, a picturesque suburb on the edge of the city.

The Calm of Beijing Before Chinese New Year

Spring Festival (Chinese New Year to you and me) is a huge celebration in China, akin to our Christmas festivities. It is the largest mass migration of people in the world as the hordes of migrant workers travel home to be with family. As a tourist this is actually one of the most difficult times to travel because with so many people on the go, securing a train ticket can be practically impossible. Thankfully, my friend and I left for Beijing a few days before the mad rush actually started. Something to keep in mind: if you visit Beijing in January, it is freezing! No matter how many layers you have on, you will still be cold. Nevertheless, my Starry-Eyed Travel experience was so good because it was freezing.
