Did my 12-year-old self ever imagine I’d be writing a travel blog? Absolutely not. At 12, there was no internet—just books that promised magical lands beyond Singapore’s borders. I secretly hoped Enid Blyton’s Enchanted Wood was real, that the Magic Faraway Tree existed, and that I could shimmy up its branches after school to see which bizarre new land had drifted in with the clouds. Spoiler alert: That never happened, but I did develop a lifelong obsession with discovering places that do exist.

Hi, I’m Dewi-Marie. Born and raised in Singapore, fueled by an insatiable need for visual stimulation. Pictures in books and on screens? Nice, but not enough. I need to be there, soaking in the chaos of a bustling market, the eerie quiet of a foggy mountain, or the precise shade of blue in a remote Mongolian sky. And since waiting for the perfect travel companion meant risking never going at all—I packed my bags and went.

I first dreamed up this blog in 2017 while riding shotgun in a Kia sedan through the vast expanse of Mongolia’s endless dirt roads, locked out of my cellphone, my mind clutching onto blog entry titles like they were souvenirs I wasn’t ready to lose. Then life happened, as it tends to, and the blog took a scenic detour. Six years later, we’re finally here.

So, welcome to my little corner of the internet—where I turn my wanderlust (and slightly obsessive travel planning) into stories, itineraries, and moments that make life feel like a grand adventure. Stick around, and let’s see where this journey takes us.
