Why a Layover Didn’t do Hong Kong Justice

I love the travel hack of getting my feet wet in a place from an extended layover (So far I have seen Oslo, Dubai, Stockholm, and Singapore this way), so when I saw a flight to Seoul with a 20-hour layover in Hong Kong, I didn't hesitate to book. My only issue with the flight was…

Singapore

One day in Singapore

I had a twenty-two hour layover in Singapore on my way from Bali to Chiang Mai, Thailand. I am always excited for a long layover in a new place. It gets my feet wet enough to get a feel for the city without having to fully commit to it if I don’t necessarily like it. I…
