This blog chronicles my life as I bounce around the world in search of the next destination. In the past five years I’ve lived in five countries and currently live in Hong Kong. But I seem to have become a nomad… I can’t seem to stay in one place too long. But why settle in one place when there are so many countries to visit, things to see, food to eat? Asia is a great place to live with each country a unique experience. So join me as I explore the East, take lots of pictures, and enjoy this adventure of a travelling life.

Hey there,
your site came up when I googled for some info on Bintan. It’s not in many travel guides and we were told about it in the travel’s agent’s in NZ. We’ll be heading there in early march and like you will be staying at the yasin bungalow. Just wondered if you have any tips for me. Also a bit worried about safety and vaccinations. We’ll be flying into singapore and are planning to get the ferry accross. I can’t work out the set-up of the island – all the travel info is on the resort part of the island so I’m wondering if I’ll be able to get a visa on arrival from singapore?
As already mentioned my other ‘issue’ is general safety. What’s Bintan like, did you feel safe there?
Would be awesome if you could get back to me – I’ve enjoyed reading your stuff. I know what you mean about moving around – I don’t like staying in one place for too long either. Too many things to see!
Hope this message finds you safe and happy and greetings from NZ,
Eva

Hi there! Same story as above: looking to travel to Bintan, stumbled upon your blog. Would it be possible for you to forward that email to me as well? Great blog, very helpful! Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy, you didn’t give any contact info — what do you need to know specifically?

Oh! Sorry…I guess I thought my wordpress username would link to my email. I’m mostly wondering if you think it would be possible to squeeze Bintan into a one night stay (departing sat. morning from SG, and returning home on Monday AM). If you think it would be too much for an overnight trip, do you have any other suggestions?
