Sky’s the Limit: One Man’s 70,000-Mile Journey Around the World (link in bio) Photo 2 – Cape Town, South Africa – Day 2: On my second day in Cape Town, I hiked to the top of Table Mountain. With all of Africa at my feet, the enormity of what I was trying to accomplish had set in. 📖Excerpt from Sky’s the Limit: In order to get around the earth you’ve got to start at the edge of it, and that’s what brought me to Cape Town. The entire African continent lies in front of me, and the only way across it is up. Now that I’m here, my attempt to travel around the world over land and sea is officially under way. I allowed myself to fly to get to my starting point, but it will be only buses, boats, and trains from here on out. Even though today is my first day on the road, I still haven’t planned anything. I don’t even know where I’m headed after Cape Town. For years I’ve had to go where the companies I worked for wanted me to go, wear what they wanted me to wear, and say what they wanted me to say. So naturally I want the opposite of that for my travels. I want to figure things out on the fly, and I don’t want to place any expectations or demands on my journey. I want it to unfold one unexpected step at a time. To traipse down another traveler’s trail would be pointless, and so I’ve also decided not to allow myself the use of guidebooks or Google for assistance. The goal is to cross six continents and all I have is a rough sketch of my route in my head. I know there are seven continents in total, but I’m not including Antarctica because, well, that would just be impossible to get to. But I am including the oceans in between. First I’m going to cross Africa from south to north, making my way from Cape Town to Cairo, then I’ll cross Europe, heading toward London. If I can make it to London, I’ll head east across Asia, then Australia, North America, and South America, and I’ll keep going until I loop all the way back around to the same spot in London. I have no clue what countries I’ll need to cross in order to pull this off, and I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to get across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans...

“One song, I have but one song, One song, only for you One heart tenderly beating, Ever intriguing, constant and true. One love that has possessed me, One love trailing me through One song, my heart keeps singing, Of one love, only for you.” - “One Song” in the Movie Snow White (1937) Red always reminded me of #SnowWhite, and one day I’m going to traipse down the steps of a magical castle in a gown just because. But for now, I’m satisfied with sleeping comfortably and dreaming of a wake-up kiss labeled “get up it’s the end of this pandemic”. Also #throwback to a life outside my castle walls. I’ll see you soon 🌹🌹🌹 Thank you @dearjose.xo for this lovely dress 🍎 and @takim.official for a gentle touch of silver 🔗 HMUA: @makeupbyclairevu Photographer: @phanchangg

Tucked away in a quiet top-floor unit of a commercial lot along Perak Road (Vantage Point Jelutong), The Busy Monet has been there for few weeks but many have not noticed it due to its rather obscure location. Found at the corner lot of Vantage Point Jelutong, one will need to traipse your way up to the 3rd floor to find the cafe... which has a pleasant, modern forest interior decor- with hanging trees adorning the walls and greens filling up the space. There's also a huge balcony with big piece of glass... allowing natural sunlight to flood in; quite a picturesque place to dine in. The tables however, are in odd shapes... making the place less-accommodating for larger groups. On the menu, it has quite a fair bit of Western choices- from brunch items to mains like Spaghetti or grills. Both brunch and dinner menus are slightly different but one thing for sure, the prices are very reasonable. Meringue Croissant (Rm 12.90) Chicken Breast on Toast (Rm 14.90) Salted Egg Chicken Spaghetti (Rm 18.90) Subject to 10% Service Charge Address: 363-2 Level 2, Vantage Point, Jalan Perak, 11600, Jelutong, Penang.
