About

Hey, I’m Paulene. Welcome to my little space on the internet!

When money and time permit, I get out of my comfort zone by exploring the world and experiencing new things. I travel alone most of the time. If not, I’m with family and friends. So far, I want to go back to India and Japan!

Here’s me, alone in Osian, slightly nervous thinking of the possibility that the camel could bite me anytime 😂

“Paulene is a very gentle and discreet person. She enjoyed her stay in Udaipur and left the flat in perfect condition.” – my Airbnb host in Udaipur capturing my default reserved self 😁

With Mala in Transit, my mission is to find and share the most affordable and best value travel experiences around history, culture, food, and animals.

I used to be strictly frugal, to a fault. These days, I’m just semi-frugal! I mostly travel on a budget with reasonable splurges here and there. I still feel uneasy about spending more than what I need (got to save up for retirement, of course!) but over the years, I realize it’s better to spend wisely to get more immersive experiences.

Blogging has been part of my life since 2008 on LiveJournal—I just didn’t have the confidence to un-private my thoughts. But now, here I am, challenging myself! When not in transit, I’m in Manila, hanging with my cats London, Mala, Angel, Batman, and Kali. I also spend a lot of time in cafes and produce marketing content for B2B companies.

I hope you find something useful here! Let me know if you need any help!
