Top beach destinations in Asia: Cebu and Bohol

June 04, 2021 / BY Laila Kasuri
While most people have heard of Boracay as the beach destination for Philippines, it tends to get very touristy and crowded. It also often requires a layover through Manilla, that many simply want to avoid. In that case, another option for a Philippine vacation is to do a trip to Cebu and Bohol. Cebu is one of many island of Philippines and I mean...

There was no mud festival, but there were a lot...

Beaching in Sri Lanka

June 17, 2017 / BY Laila Kasuri
Sri Lanka was a place I had never much fantasized about, but I can certainly say it exceeded my expectations by a great degree. How I ended up going there was owing to my Pakistani passport, which restricted my chances to go for a weekend anywhere, with a week's notice! I applied for a Sri Lankan visa on a Wednesday online, got it...
