Silence in Sri Lanka ~ Nilambe Buddhist Meditation Retreat
I felt awkward and at a loss of where to look. A little bit like being on the tube in London but with friendlier faces and instead of being on a train you are in Sri Lanka on top of a mountain surrounded by glorious, unspoilt nature.
Piano in the Garden ~ PENANG
Owner, artist and classical musician Annabelle Ng and her partner Fabien (also an artist) have created a peaceful haven in the middle of bustling George Town. It was so nice to hear them working downstairs on their art or playing the piano while chilling upstairs in the simple, yet charming converted guest bedrooms.

Yim Yam Hostel + Garden ~ BANGKOK
As the world becomes more travel savvy and the concept of working online booms, hostels are no longer just catering for students on their gap year but also for glam packers, digital nomads and families who are still looking to have fun and meet people but can do without the trashy party vibe.
