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

Photo Friday: Sunsets In Asia & Australia
While we were in Asia, we saw our fair share of incredible sunsets. But then we came to Australia and every sunset blew Asia out of the water. These are taken from the 3 nights of our drive from Sydney to Mildura. And the rest are all around Mildura and Wentworth. I can't wait to… Continue reading Photo Friday: Sunsets In Asia & Australia

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 Final Destination In Asia: Singapore
And so we were onto our final stop of the incredible first part of our travels around South East Asia: the tiny country of Singapore. It was getting real now - we could count down to Australia on one hand and that was exciting. Yet on the other hand, we didn't want to think about… Continue reading Our Final Destination In Asia: Singapore
You’re A Pretty Cool Country, Malaysia
Malaysia is one of the few places on our trip that I didn't really know a lot about. I didn't know what to expect from Malaysian food, I hadn't researched much on what to do in our first stop, Penang, and I had no idea what the prices would be like. I didn't even know… Continue reading You’re A Pretty Cool Country, Malaysia
