Celadon, the Green Stone of Doi Saket

October 21, 2015 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

As much as I enjoy the energy of big cities, they often overwhelm my senses. Can’t see the city for the buildings, so to speak. Jam-packed with so many things to see and do that I don’t quite know where to begin. I’ve found that one of the beauties of small towns is that they […]

When planning a tropical island holiday, where to go in case of an illness or accident is usually the last thing on people’s minds.

The Airport Mishap and My Broken Camera

September 19, 2015 by Vanessa Workman 6 Comments

I recently had an airport security mishap and I’d like to say a few words about that. I’m a fairly well seasoned traveler these days and have learned to negotiate airports and airport staff much better than when I was a fresh-off-the-farm newbie.

7 Reasons to Stay at Aseania Resort & Spa

June 23, 2015 by Vanessa Workman 2 Comments

The Aseania Resort and Spa has always been an eye catcher for me since my first visit to Langkawi way back in 2005 and also on my wish list of places to stay. In the early days, its Florida-esque tropical hue of conch shell pink earned it the nickname of  the ‘pink cake’ amongst locals. […]

Whitewater Rafting in Selangor

April 24, 2015 by Vanessa Workman 2 Comments

Having seen the occasional images of whitewater rafting in Malaysia, I had assumed it was at a location deep in the dense dark jungles. Somewhere I probably would not be going by myself. But when Tourism Selangor recently re-launched their #TSDayOut program, whitewater rafting was chosen as the adventure outing for the day and being […]
