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 …
Happy Friday, and a very merry Christmas Eve eve! Before we delve into my best of 2016 post, I’ve been meaning to do this one for a while – a huge photo essay of our 18 month trip around the world! Throughout 2015 and 2016, we spent three months exploring South East Asia followed by …
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 …
In this post, I’m going to outline exactly how much this part of the trip cost us, and hopefully it will help some of you to budget what you need. I’ve been working on this for a while and meant to post it along with my other budgeting guides but didn’t think it was ready. …
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 …
I posted recently about my favourite experiences in Asia, but I thought I’d post some of my regrets, too! Thankfully I have no major regrets, but there are a few things I wish I’d done differently. 1. Not getting pictures with many of the people I met All throughout our travels, we met incredible people …
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 …
This weekend marks six months since we left the UK – it’s crazy to think about, but it’s made me look back on some of the amazing experiences we’ve had on this trip already. As our Australia trip so far has only been working rather than travelling, I thought I’d do a post focusing on …
And so we were onto our final stop of our incredible 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 it because we were …
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 compared to the super …
