I've been reminiscing a lot recently. I've also been looking forward to the next few months, and the realisation that I'll be 30 at the beginning of next year made me think of my gradually-forgotten goal of visiting 30 countries, which I assumed would be long reached by now. The truth is, I stopped country-counting… Continue reading 10 Countries I Want To Go Back To

My Top 5 Places In Thailand (And 5 Places For Next Time)
It's been a while since I wrote about Thailand, but it's one of the countries from our travels I'm always thinking about and wistfully yearning to return to. I realised recently that although I wrote a highlights post for South East Asia in general, I never wrote one specifically for Thailand, despite it being one… Continue reading My Top 5 Places In Thailand (And 5 Places For Next Time)

A Year Of Travel: My Highlights
It feels strange to say that we've been travelling for a year. Because, I suppose, we haven't. It's a year since we left the UK, sure, but we've made a little home for ourselves in the sub-tropical city of Brisbane, and while we've been making various trips around Australia, it's not been the full-on travel… Continue reading A Year Of Travel: My Highlights

My Top 5 Places From Our South East Asia Trip
Our three months backpacking around Asia were a whirlwind of crazy experiences, fantastic food, mesmerising views, mindblowing sunsets, magnificent temples, beautiful beaches and chaotic cities. It's hard to narrow it down to five highlights, because there was hardly anywhere that I didn't love; much less disliked. But there were certain highlights, so here are a… Continue reading My Top 5 Places From Our South East Asia Trip

Our six weeks in Thailand were full of little surprises that quickly became part of our every day lives. Here are 10 things I learned - both trivial and important.

Our Final Weekend In Thailand: Undiscovered Khanom
Our final two days in Thailand involved a lot of travelling, much to Ash's annoyance. The reason behind this was that a friend of mine from school is teaching in Thailand, and it seemed silly not to visit him. We had ended up arranging to meet at a beach party he was going to in… Continue reading Our Final Weekend In Thailand: Undiscovered Khanom
Krabi, Railay and the Most Beautiful Beach in the World, and Climbing 1200 Steps to a Temple
On to one of our final destinations in Thailand: Krabi. Though there isn't a whole lot to do in the town itself, it's surrounded by some of the most beautiful places in Thailand and I couldn't wait to visit. We were sad to leave Koh Lanta for several reasons: our hostel family were so incredibly… Continue reading Krabi, Railay and the Most Beautiful Beach in the World, and Climbing 1200 Steps to a Temple
