Top 10 Things We Like About Airbnb

Airbnb

What do you think of when you travel? Whether air tickets are within your budget, or if taxis are exorbitant to hire? What about accommodation? What are your thoughts when it comes to your bed (and breakfast)?

There is no lack of properties to put up at wherever you travel to, because tourism has evolved and the world is definitely chalking up on the supply to meet the demands. And if you ask us, accommodation attributes largely to your overall experience – whatever kind of holiday you take.

While we love our huge beds and fluffy sheets of commercialised hotels, we enjoy blending in to local cultures and truly experience living like a local. Which is why we have been such believers of Airbnb. In our recent trip to Italy, all our accommodations were booked via Airbnb and we could not be more pleased with the experience.

For the uninitiated, Airbnb www.airbnb.com.sg is a booking website that offers accommodations all over the world and they are uniquely localized – think staying in a local’s summer house, with the entire apartment to yourself. You have the whole master bedroom to yourself, you can watch TV in the living room, you can cook breakfast, you can do your laundry…

Today, we share with you 10 reasons why we love Airbnb so much, and as we wrote this post, we were already counting down to our next Airbnb experience!

The Bravery Cafe Singapore

The Bravery

It took us a while to visit The Bravery Cafe because we have heard mixed reviews about it. Some people mentioned that the seats are uncomfortable (which is true to an extent), while others commented that there is nothing outstanding and it is just another new cafe.

However, after our first visit to this cafe in the Lavender neighbourhood, we find ourselves returning whenever we are in the vicinity and in need of a caffeine boast.

Travelling with my Canon PowerShot G16

Boracay

One of the more frequent questions asked by my readers is what cameras I use, and I also have many asking me for recommendations on which ones to get. Well, there is no definite answer, because it really depends on individual’s needs, preferences and budget. But if I were to recommend one camera for a day-to-day all-purpose functionality, it would be the Canon PowerShot G16.

Canon Powershot G16

When Canon asked if I would like to play with the new Canon PowerShot G16, the idea of owning the new Canon camera is impossible to resist, and I said yes in a heartbeat.

The Canon G16 has quickly become my favourite camera for travelling. Since getting the Canon G16, I have been bringing it with me everywhere I go as it is light yet sturdy, super responsive and takes very good photos, especially in low light conditions.

Like the old saying goes: “A photo tells a thousand words”, so in this post, I will show you some of the photos that I have taken with my Canon G16, and also share with you 5 reasons why I love the camera.
