United Arab Emirates consist of 7 cities or Emirates. The tourist capital is internationally known as Dubai. I'll be posting photos of landmarks people should be looking forward of seeing once you decide to visit Dubai. All photos taken by me.





DEIRA CLOCKTOWER

The Clocktower was erected as a symbol of Dubai and located in Deira because major routes into Dubai converged prior to the building of Dubai - Abu Dhabi Road. (Wikipedia)

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

I've always want to travel solo, although I've put this plan aside because of hesitation of "what if's" that I'm afraid to explore. Some of my friends have encouraged me to do so. This is a time to explore my capacities of enjoying life alone in an unknown country. I started planning of places to go and had some different options in Asia. A friend once told me that Vietnam has a very rich history that it would be nice for a travel enthusiast to go visit to. My friend Hay also 2nd the motion since she was there and agreed that it was a safe place to go. So Vietnam it is, specifically, HO CHI MINH city, formerly known as Saigon. Although I'm alone, I still have to find someone who stays their just in case I get lost and since Singles for Christ (a community where I belong to) is present in Vietnam, I asked my sister in Christ, Ava, to introduce me to someone there. She is Aice, a SFC leader in HCMC Vietnam. So I communicated with her through fa

I'm based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and been wanting to travel to Europe for awhile already. Then my friends and I managed to plan out this trip. This blog is to show some of the beautiful sites in the 5 countries we've visited in Europe and also a mini guide for my fellow kababayans who are planning to travel to do the same.

Armenia: It is Beautiful!

We decided to visit Armenia during the season of Mellow Autumn where the country is at it's most colorful state. Flight Booking was at ease through Cleartrip.com, as it is giving more flight options, it also give us 0% installment options which is very helpful for travelers on a budget. We flew through FLYDUBAI as we are flying from Dubai, United Arab Emirates at a very reasonable price. Visa As Filipino Nationals you can get your visa on arrival at the  Zvartnots International Airport for $7.00. They only accept few currencies so better bring USD with you. There could be a long queue so better have some light snacks handy as we arrived at about lunch time. Accomodation We stayed at Hotel Merien, it was pre-booked by our tourist guide Naira Shahnazaryan (you can find her on facebook or through her local number +37491955422). It was a pretty decent hotel apartment as we are three in the group so she managed to give us a 2 bedroom connecting
