Southern Thailand is a paradise in itself. It’s surprising how different it is to the North and Central parts, each offering something completely unique. The leafy forested North and metropolitan center of Thailand are worlds away from each other and even more so than the beachy idillic South. The islands we loved the most were…
Eco-Friendly SWIMWEAR
I try to make conscious choices about everything I buy, including clothing (I wrote a little about this in my post Stories Behind Things) I’ve recently been packing for a trip away to warmer climates, hence buying swimwear in winter, but I also found out – LIFE HACK – buying summer clothing in winter is actually…
24hrs in BANGKOK
BANGKOK Known around the world as a massive draw for a lot of tourists because of the nightlife. But that’s not all it has to offer. We didn’t really venture here to see the nightlife in particular (definitely not just the fact we couldn’t stay for more than 24 hours…) although I can’t deny it…
North Thailand – Wats & Waterfalls
Chiang Mai – I absolutely love this city. As soon as we arrived we were met with such a chilled out friendly atmosphere that all of our stresses (having to run through the airport and making it to our connecting flight by ONE MINUTE) melted away. We stayed in a little guesthouse in the old…
HA LONG BAY and thoughts about Vietnam…
How can you visit Vietnam and not take a boat trip around Ha Long Bay? There are various arranged trips to and around Ha Long Bay that vary in price but all do essentially the same route and visit the same things. We organised our trip through the hostel we were staying at in Tam…
Hội An and Tam Cốc-Bích Động
Hội An and Tam Coc – two of our favourite places in Vietnam. Both completely different but incredibly interesting and beautiful in their own right! Hội An (Lantern Town) comes alive at night with yes, lanterns EVERYWHERE. The roads shut to motor vehicles in the evenings so you’re relieved from the busy traffic whizzing around…
Eating Our Way Up The East Coast
Starting in Hồ Chí Minh City and ending up north in the capital Hanoi, we’ve definitely eaten our fair share of noodles, rice and spring rolls! I mentioned in my last post that the food in Vietnam is definitely underrated. Here are a few of the dishes we demolished whilst exploring Hồ Chí Minh City,…
Vietnamese Street Food
I know there are places to get street food all over the world, but street food here in Vietnam quite literally means “eat your food sat on plastic chairs on the street.” It’s all cooked and eaten literally a meter from busy traffic, on tiny pavements and backstreets in makeshift cafes that are set up…
Business Worth Knowing – FOOD
Project Jackfruit Jackfruit? What the hell is that? After graduating from Falmouth University, Abi and Jordan left jobs in London and became the duo behind Project Jackfruit, with a mission to make a difference. Jackfruit is, yes, a fruit, but is actually a perfect and convenient plant based alternative to meat. It looks and tastes…
Hồ Chí Minh City (in 48 hours)
Dubbed one of the most up and coming cities in the world, Hồ Chí Minh (originally Saigon) feels like it’s moving at 100 miles per hour. The Vietnamese people who whizz around these streets appear carefree on the busiest morning commute I’ve ever seen – every hour is rush hour. Flying through the day but…
