- Hong Kong
- Indonesia
- Israel

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city

Escape the urban sprawl

As a city dweller in a crowded and increasingly polluted urban environment, I travel to free my body, mind and soul. Leaving the sights and sounds of the busy metropolis behind and forgetting all my cares for even just one day allows me to recharge and see things from a fresh perspective.

Live and breathe the earth

Get close to nature

I've always felt close to nature and going somewhere where I can get face to face with it and observe, admire and learn, are very important in increasing my understanding of and connectivity to this planet.

Appreciate a world free of boundaries

Gaze into the horizon

The earth is round, not square. You appreciate this most when you are on a beach, staring into infinity. No borders, no edges, no corners that force you to turn back. Everything is interconnected. We see the same sunset, no matter which "corner" of the world we are from.

Be reminded of our own insignificance

Experience breathtaking scenery

At the end of the day, a journey serves as a wake-up call. Seeing magnificent geographical wonders makes me realise that I am but a tiny little human living out my insignificant life on this amazing planet we call Earth. If there is one thing to be thankful for, it is the fact that we are alive and have had a chance to live, experience and grow.

That's a nice idea to take pictures of the post offices around the world.

  Thanks! I do it because I have to visit the post office anyway - I sent my friends postcards whenever I travel. :)

Hi Am
And thanks for the offer!
It's a long time since I was in Singapore: it was a point of transit when I was working in Australia, but I haven't had too much reason to venture east in the past few years. There is the possibility that I might be travelling on business to Sarawak in the next few months (which would probably mean changing plane in Singapore) and, if so, I'll keep you posted!
Regards
Cathy

  Please do! :) And if there's anywhere you'd like me to take you to I'd be glad! Gardens by the Bay is a new attraction here. I need to visit Sarawak sometime too! ;)
