  Many people asked me how to go to Europe and which is the best way to join a tour agency and to go free and easy.  My suggestion is _ Go free and easy, managing your trip as you wish if you want to visit only one country.  In contrast, you should choose the option of travelling with tour groups if you want to visit several countries simultaneously.  The Advantages of Agency (1) Using a huge coach, travelling for long journeys between two cities or countries is very convenient and saves more time to visit many places. You can leave your belongings on the bus while you wander around the new place as bringing many items can be stressful. The mode of free and easy may give you trouble carrying many bags along your journey.  (2) You can get the best travel itinerary for your visa. Also, you don't need to stress to book many hotels and transportation. (3) You don't need to waste time finding food and restaurants in new places. They can suggest the location, pri...

Apart from Singaporeans and citizens of countries with visa-free agreements, citizens of small countries like me, Myanmar, still need to apply for a visa to visit Europe. It's called a Schengen Visa. The advantage of the Schengen Visa is that we can travel around every country, except the UK, in Europe by applying one time in a specific Embassy.  Firstly, we have to decide which embassy we should apply to. As every embassy has its own requirements, we have to check out the list carefully on each website. The most important thing in making the decision is which country you arrive at first.  For Instance, we must go French embassy website and book VFS Global for a biometric scan if our trip plan starts from there. As for me, I have booked at BLS International because my first arrival is in Rome, Italy.  Other necessary documents are as shown below.

One of my teachers told me once, that when you hesitate whether to continue your journey or U-turn to the beginning, that’s halfway as your destination is closer to you. Halfway is very important to success because most people give up their ambition at that point when they suffer the most difficult challenges and lose their energy.  Let me tell you a story to elucidate how true it is.  When I arrived at Cameron Highland, it was a high season bustling with tourists. We were not able to find private cars as well as all group tours were fully booked. As our second-day plan was to visit the tea garden, transportation issues made us distressed. I checked with local people about the location and the distance from the town; they said it took 35 min and we could walk slowly to reach BOH tea garden. Therefore, we decided to go on foot enthusiastically.  Maybe it’s true for some residents, or maybe that men pranked us. It took about 15 min from the hotel to the foothill, and we not...

People who work in Singapore, both citizens and pass holders, always find an escape way from Singapore for refreshments if there’s a long holiday in the business calendar. As the bustling city makes them exhausted sometimes, making short trips helps to restart their energy. This time, as we have three continuous holidays, we plan to go to Cameron Highland, a remote town on the mountain in Malaysia while others also go to the nearest Indonesia Islands. Cameron Highland has cool weather, always maintaining 18 degrees Celsius, as well as a stunning landscape; therefore it is one of the best places for someone who needs to release stress and anxiety like us.  Now I’m going to share with you how to plan our trip so that you can inspire for your next trip.    Transport Even though there are flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, we choose to go by bus as we don’t need to change any transportation in Malaysia.  Firstly, we went to Golden Mile to start our journ...
