How to Book Your Stay at Connect@Changi
Singapore has been eager to resume international business travel. With a pandemic at large, it wasn’t possible to welcome business travellers into the country. After some of the restrictions were lifted, some business travel was resumed, and businesspeople started coming in. However, it was required that they serve quarantine, which could put a dampener on an investor’s mood who might be willing to make a substantial investment. But Singapore found a way to solve that problem.

Diarist: Alaska ~ Boarding the Malispina
Alaska The first time I went to Alaska, I was working on the Alaska Marine Highway as a Third Assistant Engineer. This series of Diarist Entries will present my journal entries over the two weeks I worked onboard the ferry Malispina. I'm excited to start this series becuase sea journals, narrative ballads/sea poetry, old sailor yarns and the like have been very imactful on my writing and art! The entire Diarist concept but especially this series reflects my lineage as a mariner poet.

How Australia Changed My Life
The desire to travel is in my blood. I grew up hearing stories about the 2 years my parents lived in Germany. They were just 20 years old, newly married, and my dad got his army orders to Germany. I was always so mesmerized by the fact they had lived in a different country and visited countless others at such a young age. I always wondered, will I ever get that chance?

Travelling Through China
Setting off from home was exciting and nerve-wracking and scary as hell. China wasn't just a little fun holiday, it was the first destination of many to come.

My Laptop Lifestyle
For as long as I can remember I have always loved to travel. When I was in Elementry School I lived with my brother who is two years younger than me and my mother. My father worked for Continental Airlines and was always traveling with my stepmother. He had a habit of bringing me home weird-looking money from different countries and islands. Looking at his cool scuba diving pictures and hearing stories about how he learned to hula dance in Hawaii made me dream of traveling when I got older. My Dad finally retired and bought himself a boat to live on which made me start thinking if he can fulfill his dream at the age of 74 there is no reason why I cannot at the age of 49.

Ghosts of the Green World: A Paddle Through BC’s Past
“Hey!” My voice bounced back from the corroded concrete of the low bridge above the water. Not the best echo I’ve ever heard, but something. A reflection of sound like the reflection of light shining in a thousand tiny pockets of the water’s surface. And if light was as slow as sound, or if our eyes were quicker, the whole world would echo whenever we looked at it.
