I've visited 38 countries. Here are 3 cities I always recommend to other travelers.
I've been to 38 countries, and people always ask me for travel recommendations. Dubrovnik, Croatia, has fascinating history, great restaurants, and beautiful beaches. In my opinion, Singapore has something for everyone. As someone who grew up in Singapore with a Thai mother and Irish father, travel has always been a big part of my life. From visiting relatives around the world to exploring new places as a family, my favorite memories always involve touching down in a new city. I've been lucky enough to visit 38 countries so far, and when people ask for my travel recommendations, these three cities always top my list. There's so much to love about Dubrovnik, Croatia Dubrovnik, Croatia, has everything I look for in a European summer destination: fascinating history, traditional restaurants and bars, and rocky beaches in secluded coves. Surrounded by the sparkling blue Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik feels majestic yet quaint: visitors can easily get their bearings around the city in a day or two. I recommend exploring the historic Fort Lovrijenac, a centuries-old fortress that was also used as a filming location for " Game of Thrones." A lap of the city walls is also a must for the most incredible panoramic views of the sea. Bergen, Norway, is perfect for outdoor adventures Located in Southwestern Norway, Bergen is a charming city with museums and colorful wooden houses on the old wharf. I really enjoyed stopping by the Fish Market near the waterfront for fresh sushi. Make sure you also dedicate a day to taking the funicular, or cable train, up Mount Fløyen for challenging hiking with stunning views. The real treat of visiting, though, is the opportunity to take a day trip into the fjords and beyond. I traveled to Flåm, Norway, where I boarded a boat to Nærøyfjord, one of the narrowest fjords in the world. There's something for everyone in Singapore I may be biased since I grew up in this Asian city-state, but I consider Singapore a must-visit destination for all travelers. Growing up here, I didn't appreciate how much it had to offer, but now, I make the most of every trip home to see my parents. For example, I love exploring the open-air food courts called hawker centers and checking out the new local bars and cafés. I also enjoy exploring the stunning Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. If you're looking to work up a sweat, I recommend climbing Fort Canning Hill. Once at the top, stop to explore a historic World War II bunker called the Battlebox. Whether you're a history buff or a foodie, there's truly something for everyone in Singapore.

Sydney cafe's furniture floats down the street as downpour soaks the city
In Sydney's inner west, the flood water arrived with a bang. Tony Sleiman was serving a family in his Glebe cafe when heavy rainfall began lashing at the door at around 12.30pm on Monday. Just 20 minutes later, they were all stuck inside. 'They had a baby and a pram and were slowly creeping up towards the back of the cafe, [as the water rose],' the owner of Bruce Tea & Coffee says. 'Then they were trapped in here … until eventually they made a run for it.' The severe weather system passed western Sydney late on Monday morning and hit the city around midday, prompting widespread flash flooding and warnings to stay indoors. By mid-afternoon, the city had recorded 52.8mm of rain at Observatory Hill since 9am, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. Horsley Park, 50km west of the city, had recorded 88mm. Sleiman and his customers watched helplessly as his outdoor furniture floated down Bridge Road near the Fish Market, which was now completely engulfed in water. 'If we opened the door we would've been flooded even more, so I just thought, 'I'll let it go and get it later',' he says. 'Any time it rains these days, I become concerned … it floods very easily and very quickly. We're constantly knee-high in water and shovelling the drains.' Then just as quickly as it had arrived, the flood water receded. After reaching more than a metre into his cafe, it had all trickled out within an hour and a half. Sleiman pressure-cleaned, hosed down the furniture, and by 4pm in his cafe, it looked 'like it never happened'. Craig, a local who did not wish to use his surname, was drinking at the Kauri Foreshore Hotel down the road when the skies rapidly darkened and heavy rainfall arrived. The mood had been high. Tradies working on the new Sydney Fish Market site were piled into the bistro eating lunch and watching the Super Bowl on their break. Then they also got stranded inside – nobody able to get in or out of the pub as water lapped at the stairwell. 'The tradies told their boss they couldn't get back, but they ended up taking their shoes off and wading over to the fish market,' Craig says. 'It was all over in a matter of minutes.' By mid-afternoon, the rain had trickled to a patter. Drinkers were settling back in for the day, with the footpath that had been submerged in water now littered with large piles of leaves and debris. Between noon and 2pm, the NSW State Emergency Service rescued 21 people from vehicles caught in flash flooding in the Sydney metropolitan area, a spokesperson said. The downpour threw public transport into temporary chaos, shutting light rail services on the L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford Line, and causing delays on train lines due to flooding at Strathfield, 12km west of the city. NSW Transport issued a wet weather alert to 'take extra care' at stations and on trains, as Sydneysiders posted footage to social media of flood waters pouring down the stairwell into the CBD's Town Hall station, pooling by wet floor signs. Residents in more than a dozen suburbs across Western and Greater Sydney were urged to stay indoors by the NSW SES as the storm passed, including the popular Bondi and Maroubra beaches, the CBD, Parramatta and Penrith. By around 1.30pm, the warning had been downgraded, but SES advice remained to drive slowly and to stay clear of fallen trees, power lines and any damaged buildings. 'If [drivers] do come across a flooded road, just don't take the risk,' an SES spokesperson said. – with Petra Stock
