This is definitely the hardest post to write about my travels, because it is indeed the last for now. BALI. What a place, it really really is a surfers paradise and a place I could quite happily spend a lot more of my time. Starting in a jungle we explored Ubud, Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu and…

INDIA: a love/hate story
Ohhhh India, where to even begin? Flying out of Singapore and into New Delhi was a shock in itself. One of the cleanest cities in the world to one of the dirtiest in the space of 5 hours. We braced ourselves to leave the airport and enter the dusty Delhi streets, and we were right…
Self Love Club
Hello from Sri Lanka (and a bandaged together Ellie) 👋🏼 I’ve been travelling for 3 months now and mostly it’s been pretty much plain sailing. Yes we’ve had ups and downs, things haven’t happened as we’d planned and we’ve had to miss out or not do things that we thought. There’s been the occasional missed…
Singapore: can you fall in love with a city?
Said to be “The cleanest city in the world,” Singapore is definitely a good contender for this title. Landing in Singapore felt like a completely different world to the tiny Thai airport we’d just left. Everything was so BIG and so clean. The first thing we did was grab a tourist MRT (underground/metro) card and…
Southern Thai Islands
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…
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…
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…
