Laurence

Hey there! I'm Laurence, I'm a programmer and the voice behind "thethriftescape". I guess you're here to know a bit about me, huh? I'm not good at talking about myself, but will give it a try. Aside from chocolates/sweets I love travelling. If you've read some of my blog, I always have it or buy some chocolates when I travel. I started travelling when I had my first solo backpacking trip. From there on, I started making my travel blog. But not really promoting it. And just share it to few people who wanted to travel or do solo backpacking too. Now, I have my own blog that I can share it with everyone! I like travelling, but don't want to spend too much (yup! thrifty traveller here :P) So when I go for a trip, I always make sure to do it on a budget, as much as possible. And to attain this, I search a lot. I know, there are some people like me, who wants to travel the world on a budget. Or just looking for some itineraries for a certain city/country. So to pay it forward, I share my blog about my travel experiences with itineraries, tips and budgets. Let’s connect! and Tavel More! Say hello to me at [email protected]

Last time I was in New York was 2016, when I travelled solo. And this time, I’m travelling with our baby and a toddler. It’s hard to drive in a busy city especially in New York City. So we used subway instead. We just drove a car to city when it was raining, and we […]

It’s a little challenging travelling with kids. Not to mention a baby or toddlers. When we last year, we have a 1yr old and 2.5yrs old. This is our 2nd time. The first time, our baby was still 6mons old, so it was not that hard, though it’s tiring for my husband to carry him […]

We went to Sedona 3 years ago, but I didn’t know that there’s a secret cave there, how did I missed it, I guess that’s why it’s called secret cave. Sedona is so pretty with all the rocks and red rocks. So when I saw this, I’m like we need to go back there 😊 […]

Are you in Niagara Falls? Why not do a side trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake for some food and wine 🙂 Which is just 20mins away from Falls. If you have a car, it’s very easy to visit nearby tourist places in Niagara. The Floral Clock is also close to the falls. Some can just hop on […]
