Saipan Stargazing Tour Review | Best Place to See the Milky Way in Saipan ⭐

Image
One of the most unforgettable experiences during my trip to Saipan was the stargazing tour . I planned ahead and booked a Saipan star tour for the evening . I highly recommend doing this if you arrive in the afternoon because the night sky in Saipan is truly amazing. When we first landed, the sky looked pretty cloudy, and I was worried we might not see many stars. But luckily, the weather cleared up later in the evening, and it turned out to be the perfect night for stargazing in Saipan .

Saipan Travel Food Diary: The Angry Penne

Image
During my trip to Saipan, I visited an Italian restaurant called The Angry Penne. 🌴🍕 The restaurant is located on the second floor. The angry Penne    We ordered a margarita pizza and spaghetti along with cold draft beer and a Coke Zero. Such a perfect combo for after swimming. .  Before the main dishes arrived, they served us bread first. It came with olive oil on the side, and although it was  simple, it was flavorful and delicious. The pizza was very huge and served nice and hot, ready to eat right away. The crust was perfectly baked, and the chees on the Margherita was soft and stretchy. It tasted fresh and authentic. .  The spaghetti had a slight kick to it. It was a little bit spicy, but for me, it was just perfect! The flavor was rich and well-balanced, and it paired really well with the cold draft beer.     Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.  If you're visiting Saipan and craving Italian food,  The Angry Penne is definite...

  During my trip to Saipan,  I visited Godfather's Bar. It turned out to be one of the most memorable spots! 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yp36CNaTNHbMsgBP8                                There was a live band performing. The band was amazing,  and they asked the audience for song recommendations.                                                         Hearing familiar songs played live created  such a fun and interactive atmosphere. The vibe inside the bar was lively but still comfortable.                                                           I grabbed a beer and french fries while enjoying the live music. ...

Brisbane Guest House - Lylo Brisbane Review

Image
During my trip to Brisbane, I stayed one night at Lylo Brisbane. Check-in was at 3 PM, but I arrived around 1:30 PM. Early check-in wasn't available, and they suggested waiting on the 4th floor or paying an extra fee. The 4th floor was an open area and quite chilly, so I decided to grab a coffee nearby instead. Loly Brisbane - Agoda I booked a female 4-bed dorm, but two guests were already staying long-term, so the room was a little messy due to their belongings.  Luckily, my bed was on the first floor! Once the door closes, it really feels like a private room. It was a bit hot at night, so I slept with the door open a little. Inside the room, there was a mirror, a fan, and a charging port.        Each guest could get a towel and a locker, which is quite large and locks with the same key card; no need to bring a padlock. Super convenient!  The bathroom inside was also clean and spacious, with a hairdryer and body wash provided. There's also a shared kitchen...

Brisbane Travel – Milky Way Tour at Lake Moogerah

Image
During my trip to Brisbane, I joined a Milky Way and stargazing tour at Lake Moogerah. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my journey. When I first arrived at Moogerah, the sky was a bit cloudy, but as time went on, it slowly cleared up, revealing countless stars and the Milky Way stretching beautifully across the h orizon. The tour guide explained the constellations. It was peaceful, quiet, and breathtaking, a perfect escape from the city lights of Brisbane. 📸    Tips for taking photos with iPhone at night 1) Set the exposure to the maximum 2) Use Night Mode with the maximum exposure time (Up to 10 seconds) 3) Keep your phone still and steady, even better if you use a small tripod! With these simple settings, you can capture amazing shots with your iPhone. It lasted about 2 hours and the weather was a little bit cold at night, so I recommend bringing a warm jacket, even a padded jacket will be okay in my opinion. If you love nature, night skies, and photograp...

Porto Yacht Tour Review - Douro River Cruise Experience

Image
During my trip to Porto, I joined a morning yacht tour along the Douro River, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my visit! The tour started from the main port in Porto and turned back near the Porto district, offering a stunning view of the city and the famous bridges along the Douro River. I made my reservation in advance through GetYourGuide.  getyourguide.com There were two local Portuguese guides on board and about six participants, including me, so it felt like a cozy and private tour. The tour was conducted in English and lasted around two hours. We enjoyed local wine throughout the cruise, and the best part? They kept refilling my glasses endlessly with some snacks.  T he weather was perfect, sunny and bright, but the wind was quite strong, so I highly recommend bringing a windbreaker or light jacket. Don't worry if you forget, though; they kindly provided warm blankets for passengers. It was such a relaxing and scenic experience, sipping wine, feeli...
