Travel 101 from The Noob Traveller

It's so amazing how everyone have different interest in life.

One might loves flowers, cars, properties while the others might love stocks, golds and etc. Being me, travelling healed my soul and soothed my heart.

That’s how travel mean to me. H.U.G.E. The reason why I will never tolerate with people questioning me spending my money on this purpose.😡

I don’t fancy jewelries nor heels. I barely wear a watch and flats are my go to in my entire life so I don’t find travel as “waste of money”. If we’re in the same boat, I’m totally delightful to share info from my own experiences.

Can't reach that 30 countries before 30 target, but I believe rather than doing that Allah wants me to cherish every countries. Quality over quantity. Always. Quantity here meaning enough time to explore and discover not “touch n go” or the most suitable term here is “reach n stamp” (passport, geddit geddit).😁

I even vow to myself to travel at least once per every quarter (12 months in a year = 4 quarters). Well, this is the least I can do to promise myself (matches my pocket lol). However, just in case, I have extra money/budget I would go for more!

To cut things short, my first concern before I start to plan for travel is accommodation.

Yeap, I know, the priority might differ according to individual. If you find this info beneficial. I’m so glad to help but if not, feel free to skip this post. Hihihi. 😎

 My helper for accommodation is AGODA. I’m not doing a paid review here, this is my personal preferences based on again my experiences. For all the countries I’ve been to, I used AGODA. It’s transparent, easy to deal with and legit site. 👌

So please, download, sign up and use AGODA.

Here are lists of reasons why I choose AGODA compare to other sites available:

1)    The range of accommodation starting from luxury, medium and backpack style. You may choose it based on your budget. Cool right? Indeed life is a choice.

2)    Neutral party: AGODA doing good by being neutral to user and owner. They will expose both good and bad reviews which truly helps when we want to make a decision.

3)    Payment method: I love the fact that they give you options for debit or credit card knowing that not everyone have CC. The best part, free cancelation until certain date closer to arrival. This option is the best, especially due to the uncertainty of these days. Screw you Cik Corona. Hence, you won’t have to spend a dime to a holiday that you aren’t able to go. Options. I love options.

4)    Effective customer careline: They have remarkable staff to handle any issue. They provide solutions and suggestions not just throwing you trouble.

5)    Best offer: So far, whenever I tried to compare on direct booking with hotels vs Agoda. AGODA is cheaper. #wisetraveller

6)    Points system: I love collecting points/cash back scheme. This is so cool and worthy. You can collect points for each booking. The highlight is smooth redemption is the key.

So yeah, the first priority for me is to check on accommodation. Good accommodation provide good security. Travelling while feeling safe is precious.

We’ll discuss on transportation/flight in the next post.

Till then, stay safe and stay strong. 

Packing for travel is headache, I envy those who travel light. I don't have the courage.

p/s: just in case AGODA stumble upon this post, feel free to contact me. In case we can collaborate on things. Hahaha jk jk.😝

Content expectation

A decade ago, writing a blog post as an emotional teenager made me realized that I need to be very careful when expressing my feelings. Do not write when you’re angry because you might end up hurting people intentionally or unintentionally. 😢

I’m so sorry to anyone who used to get hurt due to my writing, the immature version of Izni. As I grow older, I think I am no longer as hot tempered as before (I hope so). 😅

Oh, don’t worry. No more cheesy post from me because I’ve decided not to get involve with love relationship for the past 6 years and probably years to come (until I met the ONE). But, still I.Wont.Let.Anyone.Knows. Lol.😎

Hence, I’ve decided to be more cautious and I hope I can share things that will be beneficial for my readers. So here I am cracking my head to plan on which things/story I want to start with:

• Travel
• DIY Home décor
• Food hunting
• Kdrama reviews
• Random rants : not emo/cheesy

Please do not expect me to write about serious/heavy topic. Gonna let this space as chill as I can. Hahaha. 

Well, I need to prepare all the materials (dig my phones for all info and photos). This is my personal space, I will take the responsibility. Hihihi.

Till then, just want to share with you my flat lay photo below since I've got featured in hooga official page (the table mat and plate are from the brand). Such an honour, yeah I'm easily pleased liddat. I knowwwww.😝

creating that cafe vibe at home since I cant go for cafe hunting.

p/s: Im glad, MCO has ended and Malaysia started the vaccination program. Alhamdulillah. 💗

5 years later

 

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!

 

Guess who decided to start (again) with blogspot?

*Drum rolls*

 

Lame, I know. 😂

 

It’s me! 

Finallyyyyyy, I’ve been planning to start blogging again and my mom pushed me to do this.

Well, she actually encouraged me to vlog and blog at the same time (sharing on our travel experiences but I think my voice sounds annoying so I rejected her idea). Maybe one day, ma. Maybe. I might think to do it, but not now since I’m pretty much occupied.

 

With kdramas. Hahaha.

 

So yeah, my last post with title “career phase” posted in 2016.

Phew, my goodness almost 5 years ago. That was a year after I’ve got my job in previous company.

Now, I’ve moved to another company (competitor lol) after approximately 3 years being there due to better offer hihi.

 

I’ve started blogging after finished with high school if I’m not mistaken. As I’m now entering a new decade of my life, I shall start blogging again.

Oh, let me think about the content for next post.

Till then, let me share with you the blog header and description 5 years ago since I’ve changed to the new layout.

 

Gosh, I still remember those days where I’ve learnt on how to do codding to hack blogspot and customize my own blog/layout and graphic. Sigh. Good old days. Now I will just use the provided template. My head will explode if I’d to learn again about codding. Hahaha.
