By: bound2explore      August 31, 2017

What is the best way to spend your layover in a foreign country that you have never visited it before? Of course to extend your layover and grab a free perk while you are at it if you ask me. So, on my trip to Asia, I decided to extend my stay and enjoyed three days in Doha. Keep in mind that Qatar requires a visitor from most countries to have a visa to enter the country. So if you want to venture out outside airport, make sure that you were approved for a visitor visa. If you fly with Qatar airways, you are in luck because Qatar airways will sponsor your visa and you will get it for free. If not, then you just have to cough off some money to pay for your visa.

Bali does luxury like no others. If you want to go all out and pamper yourself to the fullest, you have come to the right destination. From a fancy hotel with its amazing beach club and spa to a villa with your own private pool, a butler and a driver. The problem is only one thing, which option should you choose? Overwhelmed with the options, I decided to try three different types of accommodation. Those were a spa hotel, a villa with infinity pool and a villa with a private pool. While a stay at spa hotel was really nice,  staying in a villa is a way to go for a full experience of Bali. Continue reading →

Winter Exploration: The Eben Ice Cave

By: Bound2explore                               January 29, 2017

 

The Eben Ice cave is one of those natural wonders that leave you speechless when you see it. This Ice cave offers more than just an amazing view.

Now that I intrigue you with this must do thing in winter time, you might want to know on how to get to there? Where to stay? And what to prepare for the smooth hike? For real, this is not a walk in the park, nor it is an easy hike. Continue reading →
