Understanding Culture and Exploring Rurality in Northern Vietnam
Hanoi Taking our first flight in over a month (since Bangkok to Chiang Mai), we landed in Hanoi from Vientiane in the afternoon. Waiting for us was a taxi driver holding our name on a plaque to take us to the hotel – we’ve caught nearly countless flights in our lives but funnily enough we’ve never […]

Cruising Down the Mekong to Explore Laos
Mekong River – Chiang Khong to Pakbeng The Mekong river seemed like a perfect setting for our border crossing to Laos; beautiful scenery, green mountains and lush vegetation, what better way to travel from Thailand to Laos than by a river cruise. Our boat was lovely with ornate wooden carvings all around, I have to […]

North of Thailand – Bangkok and all the Chiang’s
Bangkok From the beautiful Southern Islands of Thailand we headed inland to spend a couple days in crazy Bangkok. It was really busy and I didn’t think it felt very homely, it was an urban jungle. We spent the first day there in the only “hipster” place we could find which was the largest market […]

Meeting Friends and our adventures in Thailand’s Southern islands
After meeting one of my closest friends in Singapore, we had a brief stop over in an AirB&B not too far from Singapore airport before flying to Krabi in Thailand the next morning.

Campervan Route up the east coast of Australia
I had a huge misconception about Australia – we arrived under the pretence that it would not be a more expensive and hotter Britain. We couldn’t have been so wrong, Australia is really lovely, I would love to do a working year there. We only had three weeks so we hired a camper van and […]

Stroking eels and time travel in Fiji – South Sea Island
After our flight from San Francisco where we crossed the international date line and completely skipped the 19th December we safely landed in Fiji! Fiji was my favourite place so far… Actually maybe I should rephrase that – the Fiji islands were my favourite places so far. The main land was a bit shocking, almost […]

Getting our geek on in San Francisco
We flew from Lima to Mexico for a stopover. On landing in Mexico we had a connecting flight with a 1 hour wait between.. we thought — the plane landed late and then there was a huge queue for security, time ticked by and the queue did not move. It was about 10 minutes until […]

Disneyland! […]
