If you live in the tropics, rainy season is here. They can be non-eventful, or stuff can get quickly out of control. So here is my top ten list for how to survive the wet season.

Sometimes things just don’t go to plan when you go on holidays. What then? You can cry in a corner, that is therapeutic, or you can just go to ‘Plan B’ and figure it out. Our time at Hong Kong Disneyland was certainly an experience.

Have you tried hanging at a food park? Well, maybe you should give it a try. Casual dining, a range of cuisines, chilled out and relaxed. We went to The Yard Underground in Pasig the other week. It was a pretty good night out.

On our recent trip back to Perth, Western Australia I decided to play tourist. I wanted to discover and rediscover what my city has to offer. Here is SaltyBug’s Guide to Perth.

If you are looking for a day trip that is close to home, perhaps check out Cubao. There are some pretty cool places to find. My pick is the Cubao Expo where you can rummage through vintage and second hand shops to find treasure.

Did you know that if you want to catch local transport with your dog or cat in the Philippines, that you need a pet permit? Well now you do, read on to find out the details.

It was an unexpected find, but Biak na Bato National Park in Bulacan is well worth the travel. Pack your bathers, a picnic and sunblock and come and enjoy the serenity.

Every felt like you found your paradise? I have…come along with me and let me introduce you to the Tuko Beach Resort on Occidental Mindoro. A secluded hideaway, a place to escape to.

We’ve been given a pet hamster, meet Pancake. She is adorable, little, fluffy, friendly and rolls around in a hamster ball like in that movie Bolt. Welcome to our expat family Pancake.
