"'Life on life' was a term I initially heard in a self-help group. It means you influence life with life. The impact you put on someone never limits to that one person. That person will then go on to influence someone else with the positivity you have instilled. It’s happening every day."

Walk a thousand miles than read a thousand books. Meet the faces behind the stories you read about. Travelling the world can bring more than fun and excitement. It is a unique opportunity to grow and to understand yourself. Sometimes, we think we are receiving help and advice. But perhaps, along the way, we are also the one spreading kindness and positivity without knowing it.

What is the takeaway from travelling the world and how it impacts our lives?

[Domestic violence] The United Nations recently published a report on domestic violence against women. COVID has put more women at risk of experiencing intimate partner violence.

Domestic violence does not always involve "violence". Signs of emotional abuse and control are all part of it. Sometimes, victims hesitate to get help. They are unaware of the situation they are in because they are not "physically hurt".

It's time to understand more about the different types of domestic violence and how we can get help/offer help.

Unconscious Bias Against Women At Work

Discrimination is not always direct and obvious. Unconscious bias against professional women is directly undermining their hard effort at work and stripping away their chances for promotions. The hardest part about dealing with unconscious bias? Most people that have an unconscious bias against women don't believe they do and believe they treat women equally and fairly.

Harvard Business Review conducted a study on gender inequality. It provides great insights as to how the same traits used to praise men entrepreneurs are used to attack women entrepreneurs. Other studies show the gender pay gap is especially prominent with women of colour. What can we get from the studies and how do they relate to working women in society? Are you aware of what unconscious bias is and what can we do to promote gender equality in workplaces?

[Travel] Staycation - A new trending term in 2020

With the seemingly never-ending border closure, the term "staycation" has taken over the internet. Staycation refers to a vacation spent locally rather than abroad, where one can "stay" and still enjoy the pleasure of a vacation. Most people choose to stay in a hotel in their area and visit local attractions, to explore their region as a foreign tourist would.

Staycation has saved hotels and local attractions from closing down forever. It's a new way for people to enjoy a getaway and appreciate the beauty of their own country.

Born in Switzerland, Olivia always thought the outside world is better until this lockdown. Now, she is taking different trips around the country to explore the beauty of Switzerland and finding the irresistible joy of being in a country gifted by nature.
