POOBRITNEY began in 2008 as a news and information web to Pop legend and superstar, Britney Spears. However, I’ve changed the direction to follow what I love to do instead who I love. Dang! Travel makes me happy. But I want to be happier. Then, it makes me realized what can I do with my blog to make me happier than before? Here’s the story:
Back in 2010, when I actively travelling, it was very hard to get details and accurate information about places I dream to go. Myself, Teh Safura, learned that not many Malaysian travel on their own due to the fact – lack of information on local guides,reviews and fear.
And because of that, I let myself to experience and travel to so many places around the world. Come back and write about my adventures that helps them planning on their adventures too. I started to write to show what it’s like to travel around the world on your own and expand your horizons. Glad that so many people come along for the ride!
