Planning a trip to Gili Trawangan Getting there You’ll need to take a boat from Bali to Gili Trawangan. I used Gili Getaway and experienced excellent service. You can book your tickets through their website. Be aware that the crossing between islands in Indonesia can be a little hair-raising. If you are prone to sea […]

Winter in Cape Town
A comprehensive guide to finding fun adventures and outings in Cape Town this winter. I am a sunshine seeker, lover of spending time outdoors and adventuring in nature. The options of things that I enjoy doing are quite limited by the cold, wind and rain we experience during the winter months in Cape Town. Usually […]

Top 10 hikes in Cape Town
Discovering the mountains surrounding Cape Town has become one of my greatest delights in recent years. As a kid I used to hate being dragged along to hikes yet now I can’t get enough of the beautiful and challenging trails set in the most picturesque scenes.

Koh Phi Phi, Thailand
Koh Phi Phi was the best possible way to end off our incredible adventure through South East Asia. Catching a ferry from the mainland and sailing off to the turquoise waters of this Thai island paradise was the best decision we could have made. Koh Phi Phi is a tiny island in the Andaman Sea […]
Krabi, Thailand
After having all of our days in Siem Reap jam-packed with sight seeing, we were very happy to escape to the beach for a much-needed more relaxed pace. I was also so excited to be back in the land pad Thai’s and mango shakes but this time we’d be exploring Thailand’s gorgeous Andaman Coast. Nine […]
Siem Reap, Cambodia
After the most relaxing time on Koh Rong, we felt refreshed and ready to conquer our last major sight seeing spot for the trip: Angkor Wat, Siem Reap. We’d opted to save on a night’s accommodation and take the night bus from Sihanoukville to Siem Reap. We arrived with the lowest expectations and not much […]
Koh Rong & Sihanoukville, Cambodia
After over a month of intense inland and city travel we were absolutely over the moon to be heading to the coast. On our four hours turned six-hour bus ride down to Sihanoukville we watched as farmlands changed to palm trees, mango and banana plantations. Tuk tuks are the primary form of transport in Cambodia […]
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Sad to be saying farewell to Vietnam but excited to be experiencing a new country, we crossed the border into Vietnam. It was crazy to see the drastic change from lush rice paddies to much drier farmlands. In Vietnam and Thailand we hadn’t seen any beggars or much obvious poverty but in Cambodia there was […]
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
After quaint and gentle Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City came as quite a shock to the system! We arrived in the pulsating heart of this loud, busy and crazy city. Our hostel turned out to be on Bui Vein walking street which is the equivalent of Bangkok’s Khao San road: full-on hustle bustle party […]
