When a foot forward became apt ‘coz your other leg was badly bruised. 🤕 Yeah, a swanky pose could do double-duty sometimes. 😎 10yrs and I can’t fathom why I’ve never been to this spot until last week.🖤 #forthegram #iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust 🇸🇬 (at Fullerton Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiT11JkhSKQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

They teach us growing up that we are only one thing at a time — angry, lonely, content — but I never found that to be TRUE. I am always a dozen things at once. I am lost and scared and grateful; I am sorry and happy and afraid. But no matter how many million things encapsulate me all at once, simultaneously, incessantly, there is almost always something wonderful to dwell upon. 🖤 #iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust ✈️ (at Sydney Opera House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWL607h5AK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m in a GREAT place right now. Maybe not mentally and emotionally, BUT there is coffee in this place and it’s kind of the same thing. ☕️ I mean, where is the lie? 😇 Missing Japan a little extra today. ✈️ Oh and PS: Happy Halloween! 🎃🦇👻🧛‍♂️🕸🪦 #iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust Osaka 🇯🇵 (at Universal Studios Japan ウオータウオルド) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVrX4L7h-jV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 400 — 🦠 📌Of not being able to travel 📌Of not being home with family & friends 📌Of not being able to hug my furbabies 📌Of not being with and spending time with my husband This loony bin is closing in day by day. 💔 “So where do we go from here, with all this fear in our eyes.” 🧨#iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust 🌏✈️ (at Pan Pacific Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_D9pMH2tt/?igshid=1cwe0s150auh5

From not comfortable posting my face to posting nothing BUT my face on ig. 🖤 A lot has been taught to us by this pandemic, the most important perhaps, us, learning how to cope with yearning for the people we love and how to survive not being able to travel at all. One can just dream. 🗺✈️👩‍❤️‍👨 #iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust (at The Clifford Pier at The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMGbjtRnoxP/?igshid=fzdu6f5wgjmu

Most hodophiles these days post old travel photos. It’s kind of a survival instinct. 🖤 #iamtb #writersofinstagram #WeekendWanderlust (at Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-SsMynTqO/?igshid=1dquc53o72m12

Is your last flight as vivid as your first? Well, lucky you. Flying, it seems, may be too foreign for me now, there is a need to re-learn the basics. It’s that long. ✈️💔 1 year ago, in Beijing. 📍🇨🇳 Another visa, expired. 💸 #iamtb #WeekendWanderlust #writersofinstagram (at Beijing Temple Of Heaven) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIg69aonqBM/?igshid=1m1ci6tja5eb4

•04/11/2020• The book I’m reading today is about a Vietnamese young girl who lived and survived the war in the 70’s. Pages upon pages of gruesome description of mangled bodies and young lives taken by the B-52 bombers that transformed Hanoi into a city of devastation. 😔 I was trying to reconcile those scenarios in my head with the face of Vietnam I have visited twice in the recent years. I am flabbergasted on how they have managed to bounce back that quick. Vietnam is a country of outstanding natural beauty and warm, kind-hearted people, you must be pure evil to do such diabolical things. 🇻🇳 #writersofinstagram #amtb #PitStopHanoi 🖤 📚📖The Mountains Sing by Nguyên Phan Quë Mai (at Tam Cốc-Bích Động-Ninh Bình) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJrl3hHzMD/?igshid=whm4d4ab6zlc

Wearing my self-confidence in the spirit of Halloween. 🎃 It’s a consolation for yet another year of missing the costume parties, family reunions and not seeing kiddos doing trick or treats. 🍭🍬🧙🏻‍♀️Take.
