From Phoenix to Grand Canyon: Tips for Backpackers

May 7, 2015 KeepCalmAndWander 0 Comments

Arizona isn’t cheap if you don’t drive. The State isn’t made to be backpacker-friendly. Getting a bus in Southeast Asia is way easier than going from one city to another in Arizona. However, if your ultimate destination is ONLY the Grand Canyon, then, you can, for sure, save a lot

Graffiti Tour in Brooklyn

April 7, 2015 KeepCalmAndWander 0 Comments

You can find grafitti anywhere in New York. But not so much in Manhattan, at least to places I’ve walked by. If you go to other boroughs, like Brooklyn, Queens and bronx, grafitti (or street art or murals as they say) is everywhere. From abandoned buildings to bridges to empty

New York Skyline at Night

March 25, 2015 KeepCalmAndWander 0 Comments

New York skyline is, I must admit, more beautiful at night. However, I’d advise anyone to see New York from above both during the day and at night. While you’ll be seeing the same cityscape in different times of the day, New York turns magical at night. That’s when you

I’m not really impressed with the view of New York skyline from the Empire State Building. I like the view from the Rockefeller Center way better. Aside from the view, the queue management in Rockefeller Center is also much better than the one in the Empire State Building. On your

There is no doubt that Chrysler Building is New York’s most beautiful art deco building. It’s gorgeous on a beautiful azure and it’s stunning at night, shining like a diamond in the city that never sleeps. New York City is dubbed as the world’s capital of art deco architecture—and the

There are so many things to do and see at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. So, it’s better that you start early—especially when you have kids in tow. One day wasn’t even enough for someone like me who traveled solo. Maybe it was just me who took time to everything

What’s inside the Museum of Sex in New York

Museum of Sex in New York is the second one of its kind I’ve been to—and I’m not impressed. If you’ve never been to one, then, this one is okay–as a start. There’s nothing there that shocked me. I thought I’d learn something shocking but unfortunately, I wasn’t. LOL… To

There’s a place in Brooklyn where you can see the world through Bushwick Collective murals. Artists from around the world came to share their art, for the love of art. From Australia to France; from Italy to the Philippines, muralists come to share the vision of the Bushwick Collective. You

Soho New York is synonymous to branded little shops. Or equally synonymous to cobblestoned streets, too.

Visiting New York? Don’t miss the city’s Little Italy. Though the Italians have long gone and moved to different neighbourhoods, it’s still vibrant and alive with everything Italian. Going for a stroll around the area will reward you with something nice, quaint and lovely. Little Italy isn’t just historic but

After I finished my own communing with the sea, I continued walking further along the cliffs of La Jolla. A van parked on the roadside where a group of friends got out in a hurry, unloading their duffel bags and their surf boards. They ran into the shore, dropped their

The only place in New York City where taking a selfie with a smile on your face is absurd (or frowned upon by me) is the 9/11 Memorial, former site of the city’s World Trade Center Twin Towers. For a solemn visit, I think the best time to visit 911

Before I left New York, I had the chance to visit its Central Park one early morning on snowy day. I intended to really go early (Is 8 a.m. early to you?) because the weather forecast that day said it’s gonna be snowing only from 6-10. When I arrived there,
