Today, we set off on our biggest adventure to date – we’re headed to India! Ancient forts, saris, chai tea, camels, marketplaces, bustling cities, cows and curry – we’re so excited to be exploring a country that so many others leave off the list – but that’s not to say we don’t have our own reservations. We always knew India… Read more →
Vietnamese food. It is a cuisine like no other – renowned around the world for being incredibly versatile, fresh and healthy. The dishes are all about contrasts – crunchy and soft, sweet and sour, refreshing yet spicy – the sensation of textures whilst eating is just as important as the flavours. I’ve eaten some of the best world in Vietnam,… Read more →
I recently posted a photo to our social media channels of my Italian passport, as I was using it to travel for the very first time to Vietnam. I had a flurry of comments and messages, from ‘I didn’t know you were Italian’ and ‘How did you get an Italian passport?’ When I first started investigating the process to get… Read more →
I’m back visiting my favourite place in all of Vietnam, the UNESCO jewel of Hoi An. Or as I like to refer to it – the foodie capital of Vietnam.

I have had an obsession with all things French for as long as I can remember. The city of Paris, with it’s iconic landmarks and stunningly picturesque neighbourhoods. The language and how incredibly romantic it sounded, both spoken and sung. The fashion and its luxury brands – I can’t begin to tell you how many berets, scarves and t-shirts I… Read more →

Originally beginning in the 80’s amongst a small group of travellers, news of the all-night rave began to spread by word of mouth and these days up to 30 000 partygoers make… Read more →
What an awesome month! It’s been a busy one – so much so that I’ve had to refer back to our trip notes just to recall everything that we’ve been up too! I enjoyed several days after Mike left last time in Kuala Lumpur on my own, exploring different parts of the city, trying new foods and experiences. I feel… Read more →
Krabi is postcard perfect. Seriously. With its majestic limestone karsts forming the incredible coastline and jutting out of the sea, its perfect white beaches – it’s an amazing place to spend days that turn into weeks that turn into months… We came to Krabi as a last minute change of plans. With Mike heading into a three week swing at… Read more →
Sepilok, home of the Orangutan Sactuary in Sabah, Borneo, is a common stopover for many travellers – and that’s all it ever tends to be – a stopover. With many package tours in the area including a visit to the sanctuary, visitors pop in and out of Sepilok for just a few hours. What they don’t realise, is that it’s… Read more →
The Kinabatangan river in Sabah, eastern Malaysia on the island of Borneo is the second longest river in Malaysia, at 560 kilometres long. Home to Borneo’s highest concentration of endemic species – such as the proboscis monkey, Borneon orang-utan and pygmy elephants – we knew that a visit to Borneo would not be complete without visiting this spectacular part of… Read more →
