Your PlaytimeAnother area you’ll want to be crystal clear about is how you play during your off-hours—including the importance of scheduling playtime by actually marking it on the calendar. Playtime should allow you to completely disconnect from your responsibilities for the specified period of time—whether it’s a one-hour respite, a two-week vacation, or a three-month...

Fun & Hobbies: Goals for 2019!
Here we go! This is the first of the 8-part series that I'm launching in conjunction with what I did towards the end of last year. I'm super excited with what's happening and what has already happened, but I first need to go back to the beginning of the year and see what I said... Continue Reading →
Vientiane, Laos: Round III!
YEAH! Here we go! As I normally do, I document this experience from the moment I leave my place until I get to my hotel and settle down. Of course there will be photos and YouTube videos coming soon, but let's see what we have going on right now. Because I have everything sorted out... Continue Reading →
Last Trip of The Year: Vientiane, Laos — AGAIN! End of The Month!
Ok, so that's Malaysia twice, Singapore twice, Laos twice, and Hong Kong. DAMN! Now, I won't go so far to say that I've traveled to these places for all the reasons, but out of the exception of my Malaysian trips (awesome holiday and Spartan Race), these have been for visa runs. However, this one coming... Continue Reading →
Arsenio’s ESL Podcast: Season 3 – Episode 20 – Speaking Skill – Speak About A Journey
So, this will sound a bit similar to IELTS speaking task 2, but it's not going to be academic, just a very laid back story-telling time. This is great for non-NES speakers in order to tell a story about where they have traveled with someone else. If you're taking a class, this is even better... Continue Reading →

Traveling Pod: Episode 10 + Vlog – Marina Bay Sands & More
The amount of nervousness that had come over me en route to the airport was insane. When I checked my feelings to see what I was worried about, it's always about passport control. When I landed at Hong Kong International Airport, I was walking before being accosted by an immigration officer, asking me where I... Continue Reading →
Traveling Pod: Episode 9 – Singapore for The 6th!
Here we go! The 6th country of the year. Boy, what the hell is going on. To be honest, I'm in a transition phase right now with work, and have been seen the dawn of the New Year. Because this phrase has been ongoing, it requires me to leave the country often because of visa... Continue Reading →
Hong Kong Airport Review
Airport Link = Arrival Hall Well, my first experience coming to Hong Kong Airport was forgettable, but this experience was stellar. When I got off the train, I literally walked 15 meters and I was greeted by an open-air arrivals terminal. I thought it was spectacular to connect the train and even passenger drop-off (vehicles)...

Traveling Pod #8: Esther Inspiration, Chinese Food, CBD, Mid-Level Escalators & The End + YouTube Video
Here I was before my travel vlog sitting in my hotel when I met a girl named Esther. Esther is a teacher who wants to become so many other things, and hearing what she had gone through was utterly heart-breaking. From physical abuse, to verbal abuse at a French school. So many different things have... Continue Reading →
