StepMap allows you to create virtually any Map you like without any design skills, from a World Map with all the countries you have visited to a City Map with your favourite places. So regardless of whether you plan your next trip and want to create an itinerary for your future travel plans or if you are travelling and want to keep an up to date Tour Map or if you just finished a trip around the world and want to keep a memory of where you went – the possibilities are endless. The power of this tool are its ease of use, the unlimited options when it comes to customization, the level of detail you can incorporate to the Maps, the interactive features (any location on the Map can be enriched with an info-box containing texts, links, images and videos) and the export features – you can download the Map as a simple image file, you can print it, you can embed it to your Blog and of course you can edit it and update it at any given time. So, if you have your own Blog or if you want to create a Map for your photo book or want to print it out to pin it to your wall at home, I would say there is no easier way than StepMap to do so.

The famous road is a shopper's paradise and the street performer's stage, there's never a dull moment in this long stretch. I recommend to wander around here for an hour or two, you'll stumble upon street art, antique book stores, quirky boutiques and hipster cafes in that area, here are some of my favorites: Tiong Bahru Bakery - Best croissants in town, made by a celebrity baker Chapter 55 - You must try their homemade ice cream, maybe paired with some waffles Flock Cafe - Extensive coffee menu with items such as Banana Caramel Latte or Orange Cinnamon Mocha Dustbunny Vintage - A boutique for vintage clothing, you can find some rare outfits and designer bags The 30 minutes trip with the capsule gives you a breathtaking overview of the city, enveloped in its majesty and aesthetics: Marina Bay with its iconic Merlion, on the opposite side you'll see the world's most desired hotel, Marina Bay Sands - and just behind you can spot Gardens by the Bay with its futuristic super trees. I ended up staying much longer in Singapore than I had planned for, I made fantastic friends here and now this place actually feels like home.

I was thrilled, not only to be a finalist, also I was excited to finally explore Sri Lanka as this destination has been on my bucket list for a while now... The biggest surprise was that I actually won the award, something that I didn't even considered. Beautiful endless beaches, friendly locals, the most fun train rides with incredible views, flavorful food (very veggie friendly! ), loads of places for yoga, meditation and spa treatments, lush tea plantations, and a large diversity of wildlife. They're absolutely breathtaking, I wish I could have gotten much closer.

It took me a few days to process my stay at Milaidhoo Island, and after I left I realized that this has been probably the most extraordinary place I have ever stayed, in all my years of traveling. I traveled to the Maldives with my friend Mar, after we left Lux* Resort, we took another sea plane and headed to Milaidhoo Island, which was completely the opposite compare to Lux*. The moment I stepped my feet on the sand, The island is so small, the ride with the buggy took less than a few minutes, but still gave us a good impression of the island. Despite it's such a small island (only 300m x 180m), Milaidhoo offers plenty of activities to fill your day with adventures.
