Travels 2016: Gili Trawangan (& back to Bali)
Ok, so I have to admit here that I’m falling further and further behind with my travel blog posts, woops… But even though it’s sometimes difficult to find the time, or the energy, to remember what you did a couple of weeks ago, write about it, and make some pictures look pretty, I’m still very […]
Travels 2016: Ubud, Bali
Ahh Bali, thank you for fulfilling all of my dreams and expectations and for providing us with a break in our busy travelling schedule. It’s hard not to be influenced by the spirituality of this island; the customs and beliefs of its people are known throughout the world. Our little bungalow was blessed, and so […]
Travels 2016: Kuala Lumpur
It’s probably difficult to believe, but after cold and rainy Hanoi, we were very much looking forward to some tropical sunshine in Malaysia’s capital city. It was a flying visit really, a stop in between Vietnam and Bali, and a homecoming for my travel buddy who is half-Malaysian, but we tried to pack as much […]

Cue Hanoi. If arriving in Bangkok was like a dusty and dry sandstorm, then Hanoi was a full-on monsoon of the senses, a […]
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: 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, […]
