So here it is, a long overdue blog post. I haven’t written any blogs since I got back from travelling and even still I haven’t finished writing about all the countries I visited! (You can find them here on my blog if you need any tips for when we are allowed to travel again!) Today … More The highs and lows of a creative lockdown
After 6 months of travelling, Sri Lanka was our last country to check off the list! After a bit of a faff getting through the airport, (you can now get a visa on arrival but make sure you go to the visa counter first before queuing through passport control) we found a local bus heading … More Sri Lanka
First things first, if you’re going to Fiji make sure you book your Bula pass! We didn’t know anything about this but luckily we were staying at a Nomads in Australia who sorted everything out for us! We opted for the 1 coconut pass which meant it was cheaper (supposedly not as good as the … More Fiji
Bali’s reputation has grown dramatically in the last few years, with Aussies and Brits alike moving over there for better weather, cheaper housing and a more laid back lifestyle. We were excited to see what the fuss was about and explore the busy coastal towns and the lush countrysides. Our first destination was Kuta; we … More Bali and Gili Trawangan
Our first city stay for the next week was Kuala Lumpur, the capital, and largest city in Malaysia. We were staying in a small Air Bnb as prices for hotels were definitely higher here than what we were used to. Fortunately our little room was not far from the main shopping district and metro line … More Kuala Lumpur and Singapore
After arriving in Hue, we found our hostel (Dreamers) and we were pleasantly surprised how lively the town centre was. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from and an array of shops to nip in and out of. After a spot of western food for dinner (sometimes you need a break from fried rice) … More Hue to Hanoi
After a very stressful journey from Cambodia (fretting about our visas for weeks), we waltzed into Vietnam ecstatically! We were staying just off Pham Ngu Lao Street which was super busy and full of great restaurants and street food (which is a must try here in Southeast Asia). As we had just arrived we grabbed … More Ho Chi Minh to Hoi An
Finally after travelling in a mini bus without air con and countless number of potholes we made it to Siem reap in Cambodia. After the classic bombardment of tuk tuk drivers we made our way to our hotel. We chose a hotel rather than a hostel as a treat; it was family run and had … More Cambodia
As our Thailand adventure came to an end we decided we would head into our second country, Laos. We had heard that it was a super relaxed vibe compared to Thailand so we were quite excited to see what it had to offer. However, we had to get there first which meant a lonnnng bus … More Laid back Laos
As we had six months of travelling ahead of us I knew I could get some decent reading time in, however carrying around a backpack for 6 months meant I only had room for one book at a time. Luckily we stumbled across a number of charity shops which meant we could do book exchanges … More Summer Reads
