Time flies when you’re having fun – I didn’t even realise that its officially five months since we’ve been on the road until today – and thought what better time to re-cap the last month than during a 7 hour train journey?! The last month has seen us in three countries and six cities, the most we’ve moved around in… Read more →
Visiting the Taj Mahal was always on our bucket list. When we were putting together an outline of our travel plans earlier this year and decided on a few months in India, a visit to Agra to see the Taj Mahal was the first activity we locked in – and something we’ve been looking forward to since we set off.… Read more →
We truly were expecting the very worst when we flew into India earlier this week. The stories from other travellers about how incredibly filthy it is, animals and excrement lining the streets, scams on every corner – that it was one of the most frustrating places to travel. Then there’s also the news in the media – the violence and… Read more →

Ko Pha Ngan – birthplace of the original ‘full moon party’ – a party lasting all night long and held on the beach of Haad Rin, every full moon. 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.
