About ME

Hi! you may call me Vinneve, my nickname here on WordPress.

I started in WP in April 2015 before we leave New Zealand to be an expat in the Middle East particularly Abu Dhabi, UAE.  It was full of ups and downs especially the first two years of being an expat.  Documeting my thoughts and travels thru WP helps me and other people who are reading my blogs and became followers.  I thanked YOU all for being here with me through the years.  Like some other people, my focus changed to other social media but the topic remains the same my love for TRAVELS.  We are fortunate that we are back to New Zealand just in time before covid-19 show it’s ugly head into the world.  So we keep on travelling.  Please continue to FOLLOW me and I will show you how it is on the other side of the world (down under).

Please also FOLLOW me on my other social media platform YOUTUBE channel below.  Just click the link.

UPDATE:  If you are my new reader or follower we are currently back to our home country (after 4 years of being an ex-pat) which is the beautiful NEW ZEALAND.  I am transferring my older post to this new site Life & Wonders.  If you want to know more about the first few years while we are in Abu Dhabi and around the Middle East.  Nevertheless you can still see some of it on this blog but go to Category: Destin(Y)ations so you can see older travel blogs from Europe and Asia not just the Middle East. 

Please feel free to drop me a line that would be great!  I would be happy to see a “LIKE” too if I would be honest haha!  It shows you really read my post and I do the same for you.  We bloggers should know how to give and take and not just always take, don’t you think so?

Any feedback would be appreciated.  Bloggers should support each other. Hey, I am here to learn too and perhaps one day meet some great people from here. (Update, click the highlighted places to see the older post about it: I did while I was in DOHA for a few days, one I met here in Abu Dhabi & the two suppose to meet in Jeddah, but it didn’t happen, but we keep in touch thru blogging) so hopefully, I will meet some more bloggers along the way wherever I go.  I will contact YOU or you can contact me via commenting here.  I will truly appreciate it you taking the time to do so. 🙂

Regards and Take care.

Also please click my RED PLANET page for more info about Hotels in Asia.

PS:  Most of the photos are mine and some have credit on it as per their respective links or info after the photo.

  40. It was interesting to go through your blog and a great introduction. Thanks for commenting on my blog!
    Just a quick tip – try using different colours for the text on the sidebars – they merge into the background and it is difficult to read!
    Looking forward to reading more here! Good luck.

    • Hi Julia,
      Thanks for remembering me and for the invitation.
      Actually my 1st time to check on my blog site since last June.
      I have been very busy with the move to the land of the desert so no time yet.
      Will definitely go to your blogs as soon as I have more time as I have seen some topic that I like and would like to compliment you for your beautiful photos. 🙂

      Keep it up you are good in taking shots!

  47. Here’s some feedback after your request at the Community Pool:
    *Your background’s great, and goes well with your main image (and looks nice and warm!)
    *Have you considered that including the word ‘lust’ in your title may be the reason Facebook blocked your posts? (That’s just a guess)
    *Did your Facebook friends just like on Facebook?
    *As I’m scrolling down, the ‘Follow blog via email’ widget text is not very visible over the background until it is at the very top of the screen
    *You may want to consider a contact page in case people want to get in touch privately
    *You write very well
    I hope you found this helpful. All the best, Matt

    • Hi Matt,
      Thanks a lot for the feedback and advice about the word “lust” RE FB and I think you are right!
      I will just post my link on my private FB.
      RE Background – I have edited my “about page” and add an info about the background image as advised.
      Noted about the Follow widget. I will try to do something about it thanks.
      You are very helpful. Truly appreciate it thanks.
      Regards, Vinneve
