So, my 6.5 month trip is over and I have been lucky enough to travel to 8 new South East Asian countries - it's been amazing! My last stop in the whirlwind trip was Bali and it was a great place to finish my travels. I spent a total of 1 month in Bali (over … Continue reading Bali Best Bits
Laos was another last-minute addition to my travel itinerary and a country that I heard really mixed reviews about. Some of my friends loved it, some hated it, some said it ‘wouldn’t add anything to my travels’… so I decided to find out for myself. Sadly, I fell in the ‘didn’t add anything to my … Continue reading Laos – the beautiful disappointment
Through workaway.info, I was lucky enough to find myself the most incredible volunteering experience - teaching English in Java, Indonesia. I spent 12 days working with young kids who wanted to learn basic English right up to adults looking to teach English as a foreign language. As well as teaching, this experience was also a … Continue reading Volunteering in Java, Indonesia
Singapore has always been high on my list of places in SE Asia that I really wanted to visit. However, I was slightly put-off by everyone telling me how expensive it would be. By keeping accommodation costs down and eating at Hawker centres, I didn't end up spending too much! I stayed at the InnCrowd … Continue reading 4 days in Singapore (on a budget)
Cambodia was the country that I was most excited for when planning this trip, however, sadly the reality didn't quite match up to what I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it (especially Angkor Wat) but there wasn't as much to do there as I thought (plus it was way more expensive than … Continue reading My Cambodia Highlights
Before I got to Cambodia, I kept hearing 'it's so cheap', 'food will cost you pennies, hostels will cost you pennies' and so on... We were in for a surprise. I can safely say that I spent more in one week in Cambodia than I did in nearly 2 1/2 weeks in Thailand or Vietnam. … Continue reading Cambodia on a Budget in 2018
Mui Ne is a popular beach resort in South East Vietnam, around 4 hours away from Ho Chi Minh City. The town itself was a little too commercialised for us, but we really enjoyed our visit to the nearby Sand Dunes. I was slightly skeptical beforehand, wondering if the stop in Mui Ne would be … Continue reading The Red and White Sand Dunes of Mui Ne
The last time I posted we had just finished up in Hoi An and although we had a few stop overs between then and now, none of them seemed interesting enough to write an entire post on. There was Da Nang (we didn’t like it at all and left way sooner than we were meant … Continue reading Surprise Stop-off in Da Lat, Vietnam
Disclaimer*: this post is long, we were always eating/drinking coffee, or finding new places to eat/drink coffee. The original plan for Hoi An was to stay for a maximum of 4 days and I know people who have spent just one day here, but we absolutely fell in love with it. So much so that … Continue reading 7 days and Constant Eating in Hoi An
