Onsen in the bathroom?!

... Read moreBringing the tranquil ambiance of an onsen into a small bathroom space can truly transform everyday routines into moments of relaxation and rejuvenation. From my personal journey in adopting Scandinavian and onsen elements in my own 3-room BTO bathroom, I found that key features such as natural materials, minimalist design, and warm lighting create a soothing environment. Incorporating elements like wooden slats or stone textures evoke the spa-like atmosphere typical of Japanese onsens, while maintaining the clean, functional aesthetics of Scandinavian interiors. To create your own onsen-inspired bathroom, consider installing a deep soaking tub or a modern shower system that encourages mindfulness and relaxation. Adding plants and choosing muted, calming color palettes also help bring the experience closer to nature. This approach not only elevates the look of the bathroom but also enhances emotional well-being by providing a personal oasis within a limited space. Additionally, thoughtful storage solutions keep the bathroom clutter-free, preserving the minimalist spirit and making your space feel open and inviting. Whether you live in a compact flat or a larger home, integrating these design principles lets you enjoy the peaceful vibes of an onsen every day.

Hotspring amongst the mountains?!
Thinking about relaxing in a hotspring in your upcoming trip to Taiwan? Forget Beitou and head for the lesser known hotspring district nestled in the mountains in Wulai, just ~1.5h away from Taipei! It’s less crowded and you can just take a day trip out to enjoy a relaxing day in a private room

The Busan hotel I didn’t want to check out of 🇰🇷
My mum hadn’t travelled in a while. So when we finally planned this trip — 8 winter days in Busan, just the two of us — I wanted to get the accommodation right. I debated the price for longer than I’d like to admit. But the moment we walked in, I stopped debating. And by the end of the stay, I knew
