Travels 2016: Laos Part 2
Laos Part 2: Luang Prabang → Vang Vieng → Vientiane We arrived off the boat in Luang Prabang, and were lucky enough to spend three nights in this wonderful city, plenty of time to explore and get a flavour of authentic Laos culture. We went to the Kuang Si waterfalls, ate the best meal of the trip […]
Travels 2016: Laos Part 1
Part 1: The Mekong River → Pak Beng → Luang Prabang. Sabaidee from Laos! Having spent a week in this beautiful country, it’s safe to say that we have fallen very much in love with Laos: with its mountains and its rivers, its people and its cities. We started our journey through Laos at the border […]
Travels 2016: Chiang Mai
We boarded a night train from the busy Bangkok central train station, unsure of what to expect but imagining the worst. Thankfully, our night train experience was whole lot better than we could have possibly dreamed and we arrived twelve hours later in Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand. I have to point […]
Travels 2016: Bangkok
Sawadika! Welcome to the first instalment of my posts about my three month travels around South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It’s so exciting to finally be writing about it after so many months of planning! To try and describe this wonderful city in one word is a bit difficult. It’s simultaneously old and new, […]
Falling for Autumn
Today I stepped outside and it smelt like autumn. And so begins my love affair with this beautiful season. There’s something magical about autumn that has captivated me for as long as I can remember. Maybe because it’s the season of my birthday (October 1st and don’t you forget it), maybe it’s the transition from […]
Returning to Yorkshire
Coming back to Yorkshire was like a homecoming for me. I lived in York for three years whilst at university and after a year away, it’s fair to say that I was missing – as the people of Yorkshire proudly put it – God’s own country. I can’t quite explain how much beauty and culture […]
A Day in Brighton
Can we just talk about how amazing Brighton is? It’s like a magical land somewhere at the bottom of the country which doesn’t feel like it even belongs with the rest of the UK. The weather was warm, I had a Saturday off and I was with my favourite travel buddy. We wandered along the beach and […]
Ah Good The Sea
On my way back to the UK a couple of weeks ago, I had the joy of coming in on the ferry from Dunkirk to Dover and shouting quite loudly to everybody, “It’s the white cliffs of Dover! I see the white cliffs, I’m home!” Excitement and patriotism aside, there is something really beautiful and […]
Falling in Love with Prague
So I think this one will be short on words, but long in pictures. My trip to Prague was perhaps the least planned and organised one yet, and I can’t pretend that I wasn’t a little stressed out just before (“What currency do they even have in the Czech Republic?!”). Honestly, however, I fell in […]
A Weekend in Weimar
Having studied Goethe intensively for a year at university, Weimar had long since been on my list of places to visit in Germany. Finally realising a trip to the famous city was somewhat of a dream for me, especially finally visiting Goethe’s house after having watched a detailed video tour of it last year in class. […]
