I'm Angie, a Malaysian living in Singapore, and I love Southeast Asia so much!
Even if I have only visited 6 of the 11 countries here. Perhaps being a small-town girl transitioned into a big-city woman gave me an opportunity to experience the regional charms from natural forest to concrete jungle, and the easy access to the local food culture put me right at home no matter where I go.
Over the past few years, I had the chance to meet a few long-term travellers from beyond, touring Southeast Asia. Often they would tell me that their favourite part about the region is the less touristy places, where they could put themselves right into the local experiences. I almost get what they mean - when I was researching for a Bali trip, I was so sick of repetitive contents about the same destinations and sights that I decided to forget about it, rented a scooter, and went about with my own exploration and schedule. Best decision ever made.
Bali aside, I began to think: what about everywhere ...

I am new to travel blogging and am concerned about readers following suggestions in a blog and getting injured as a result.
Hi Merle, that's an interesting question.
What kind of activities and destinations are you writing about?
If you're blogging about general city guides, etc then I would find it difficult that anyone could get injured and find your blog liable because they followed a restaurant recommendation and fell down some stairs.
If your blog is about activities that have risk — for example, hiking solo — then probably you should stick a disclaimer in your blog terms and conditions.
Thanks Ian. My blog will include stories about seniors and what keeps them aging in a positive direction. The audience may try what is being recommended by their peers - for example, exercise, natural remedies, riding a motorcycle etc.
