2026 is the year you finally go to Switzerland. Claim it. 🇨🇭

It’s magical in winter, yes. But the best time to travel is late spring to early summer when the valleys turn green, the mountains are still capped with snow, and the days are longer.

You can make Interlaken your base, so it’s easy to reach
Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, and even Wengen and Murren

What you don’t see on camera 👇

Behind the scenes, the real deal:

• They’re actually very accommodating and kind. No pressure, no rushing. You can reshoot scenes if you want
• The whole shoot took me almost 2 hours from start to finish
• You can direct your own scenes and poses
• Most don’t speak fluent English, but they really try to translate and explain
• Many locals offer this in Hongya, but the actual shooting spot is a few kilometers away. They’ll drive you there
• It’s affordable. Around $60 or less, and yes, you can bargain before saying yes
• The risks? They drive fast. There’s minimal safety gear. You rely a lot on the driver’s experience

Would you try this?

One of the richest countries in the world. 🇧🇳

Brunei only has around 450,000 people, which is almost the same as Marikina City.

Everything closes early. There’s no nightlife, no bars, no clubs. Even the biggest mall in the country closes at 8 PM. The whole country sleeps by 10 PM. Alcohol is also banned.

There aren’t a lot of tourist traps. No big theme parks, no hype spots for social media. You can literally see everything in the country in 2–3 days.

Its nature is untouched. About 70% of the country is covered in rainforest.

The roads are quiet, and traffic is light.

They have strict rules. Everything is clean, organized, and controlled. Crime rate is extremely low.

Many travelers say it’s “too quiet” and “too safe.”

Would you go?

Is it safe though? 🤔

I felt safe all throughout my 6 days in Myanmar. I went in October 2025 and only stayed in Yangon, the capital city. Everything felt normal. No trace of civil unrest, and it’s considered a “tourist-safe zone.”

Some regions may still be high-risk and there may be areas with armed groups, so you still need to check current travel advisories.

Yangon is probably the most photogenic city in ASEAN for me because there were very few tourists. It felt like we owned the place most of the time and the experience felt authentic because of the locals.

It’s only about 1.5 hours away from Bangkok, with multiple flights daily.

No visa needed for PH passport holders, and immigration was smooth as well.

Planning to go here?

That’s why they are known as one of the least corrupt countries in the world (ranks 3rd in Asia).

When the priority is happiness and well-being, greed has no place. When leaders are required to think of the people first, the system becomes cleaner, fairer, and more humane.
