Couple Tips for a Seamless Travels Together

We all understand the excitement that comes with traveling—it's a thrilling aspect of life. Whether it's watching your plane soar through clouds or cruising over waves in a boat, there's a sense of exhilaration, signaling the start of another adventure. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that vacations can also bring about moments of anxiety, even for couples like us. Yet, here we are, finding humor in our mishaps.

Traveling has the power to strengthen your marital bond. Here's how:

1. Leverage Each Other's Strengths
In our case, my wife excels in planning and capturing moments through photos, while I navigate directions and capture videos.

2. Understanding Travel Styles
Discover your partner's true attitude by understanding their travel style. Fortunately, both of us share a laid-back approach, prioritizing rest, connection with nature, and culinary exploration.

3. Active Listening and Communication
Effective communication, coupled with active listening, plays a pivotal role in travel planning and handling unexpected situations. Remember, we have two ears and one mouth—listen more than you talk.

4. Shift the Focus
Remind yourselves that it's not just about taking photos and videos but about creating meaningful experiences together and broadening your perspectives. Explore how the locals perceive life, understand their cultures, and incorporate these lessons into your own lives.

5.Appreciation and Deepening Love
Always value the time spent with your spouse. Be selfless, stay in love, and let appreciation be a constant companion.

Traveling provides an opportunity to forge a deeper connection with your spouse. Use these moments to truly know and understand each other.

Happy Journeys with your better half! Remember… your spouse will be your forever travel buddy! Isn’t fantastic?! ❤️

Orchard's Cheapest Dimsum Buffet - Empire Hotpot & Cantonese Cuisine (Less Than S$25)

ABBEY: This is one of the restaurants that offers dimsum buffet. We indulged in their shrimp dumpling and very plump siew mai while dipping in balsamic vinegar with ginger. The xiao long bao is kind of small in size which in turn packs less soup. I enjoyed the chicken feet. They are flavorful and tender. Got a serving of octopus, red bean and salted egg custard bun, deep fried prawn dumpling, carrot cake, and wanton noodles as well. Not that much meat in the pork ribs though. 

WILL: This is Orchard's most affordable dimsum haven! Indulge in a budget-friendly S$23.80++ dimsum buffet, making it as the ultimate destination for a feast that won't break the bank.

Worried that affordability might compromise taste? Fear not! The sumptuous spread boasts flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. 

Keep those bamboo basket coming! This is our must haves delights:

   Steam Prawn Dumplings

   Siew Mai with Wolfberry

   Xiao Long Bao

   Steamed Pork Ribs with Garlic
