Great blog and I love your NEXT GETAWAY! for OCTOBER. Hope that you would enjoy. Happy and Safe travels Kat. 🙂
Thanks Ricci! Thanks for liking my blog and yes, I had just returned from the Philippines. Such a lovely country and can’t wait to return 🙂
Hey Kat, blog is looking good! Are you using a new theme?
Thanks Jen! Yes, a different theme but am no longer hosted on WP. I moved to a local host, using WP template to create my posts.

Hi Kat, I just discovered your blog on My Travel Monkey’s post on you..aaaahhh, you write about so many places I am dying to go! Can’t wait to delve in further…:).
Hi Corey, hope you enjoyed the guest post feature…thanks so much for visiting and following my blog 🙂
Thank you so much for visiting my blog so extensively! It was late at night in Germany at the time, and I was too tired to respond properly 🙂 I will have a look at your blog now, have a nice day, KleesButterfly.
Oh no worries, I enjoyed reading a number of your posts 😉
Nice to meet you Kat ! I’ve been to Malaysia in 2013, but I didn’t get the chance to visit Kuala lumpur (I stayed in borneo and landed in Singapore). But maybe I will discover this part of Asia through your blog 🙂 Have a nice day 🙂 Gin
Hi Gin, thanks for visiting my blog and for liking many of my posts, really appreciate it. Perhaps you can plan your next trips to Malaysia again, hope to inspire you 🙂
I would love to visit continental malaysia and visit the Sabah part of Borneo (I’ve been to Sarawak already) 🙂
Haha…it’s the other way around for me – – I have been to Sabah but not Sarawak (except Kuching and that’s for my cousin’s wedding) 🙂
Kuching, the cat fcity is pretty good ! I’ve stayed a few days over there 🙂

So glad to have found your blog Kat. I love KL having been there twice and Asia is my favourite place to travel. But like you now, we have to do small trips and maybe one big one if we can afford it as we now have our son… but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop 🙂 Look forward to reading more about your adventures.
Hi Ting, thanks so much for visiting and following my blog. Yeah, I wish I could travel full time but deep down inside I knew I would get bored when you have too much of a good thing. Perhaps it’s just me? So it’s better for me to travel every few months or so, in that way, I keep my interests and passion fresh 🙂
Dear Kat, I like your blogs and writing very much. I have just now nominated you for the Liebster blogging award, if you would like to participate in it. Thanks.
http://suyashchopra.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/the-liebster-award-november-2014/
Hi Suyash,
I won’t be participating though but bahut shukria for considering and mentioning me for the award. And glad that you like my blog very much 🙂
Let’s encourage each other to continue travel and live life! 😉
Cheers,
Kat
Hi Kat, thank you for stopping by my blog and the follow. Great photos and details here from your travels, and I like that countdown widget you display! Anticipation as at least as thrilling as the adventure itself, isn’t it? 🙂
Hi Kathleen, thanks for liking my post ‘Crystal Sword’, now I get to be across your blog! Good meeting you, Vonita 🙂
Hi there, great meeting you too, and thanks for following my blog 🙂
HI Kat: Thanks for visiting my blog and following. I’ll be blogging from Kathmandu until next summer before they move us on to another (as yet unknown) location. You blog looks great. I will have a look around over the next couple of days. All the best!
Thanks 🙂 Am looking forward to read your stories…
Cheers.
http://soulnspiritblog.com/2014/09/29/wow-here-comes-my-award/ Hi, After nominating you for Liebster award I found out from your home page that yours is a award free blog. Anyways checked from hotel, you have not reached yet. Entirely your wish to respond on my post.
Hi, sorry for replying late as I have returned home just 2 days ago. Yeah, my blog is now a award-free blog but thanks for considering me, I appreciate it 🙂 Thanks for following my blog too. Btw, we didn”t get to meet up in Aurangabad. Just wondering if you had received my email. Cheers.
Hi, I called up and checked at the reception in Hotel, Krishna Inn, on the day you were supposed to arrive there, but you did not check in by then. In fact I left the message for you as wall as mailed you at the same time to know the status but then neither got any response from the hotel nor from you. You can check your mail box. Anyway how was your trip?
How I wish we could meet. I kept my day free for you 🙂
Oh no, the hotel didn’t give me any messages at all! I replied to you via gmail. Oh well, so sorry we could not meet. I made sure I came back to the hotel early after my excursions to meet up with you… It’s ok, no worries, sometimes it happens 🙂
