Ben Thanh Market is one of the more exciting places to visit in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a chance to truly get stuck in with the locals and test your bargaining skills. It’s a very different experience if you’ve lived in the UK and are so used to fixed priced items that the idea of … Continue Reading

After several months in Asia (and a brief stint in Australia), I must say it’s nice to be back home. 🙂 After experiencing a vaste amount of new and different things almost on a daily basis, there’s a really nice and feeling about settling back into the familiar. That being said though, there are also … Continue Reading

Found these and figured they were worth sharing. 🙂 Yeah, yeah, I know we’re supposed to be discussing about some serious travel stuff on here but it’s always nice to take a break and let the powers that be on the internet distract you…. and, if you’re anything like me, these distractions are always welcome! … Continue Reading

Okay, being Australian is not the only prerequisite for helping out here. In fact, there’s only one pre-requisite and that’s if you watch the TV show ‘Home and Away’. Effectively, we were walking down Palm Beach, a suburb of Sydney, Australia when we happened upon this TV crew and cast. Being the nosey parker I … Continue Reading

In the last month alone, I’ve been to Vietnam, Australia, Singapore, U.A.E., Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Macau. I know this sounds like something of a #HumbleBrag but what it highlights are a diverse set of countries with different cultures, customs and indeed different laws yet within all of these and I guess because of … Continue Reading

We’ve already covered off the islands that should be on your travel radar so I take it you don’t need much of an introduction to this (check out the previous post if you do) but I guess what wasn’t mentioned in that post was that one of these islands contains one of the most secluded and … Continue Reading

This is one of the things I’ve missed about living in the UK. We spent a brilliant afternoon doing nothing in particular on the beach and taking in the views across the UK’s coastline. I love faffing around on lazy days like this (aren’t they just the best?!) especially so when the weather’s so nice … Continue Reading

Come take a journey with me to find out where the last dragon lay… This day was one of those days that was filled with unexpected delights!

A few days ago I realised that I had barely touched any of the Nordic countries on the blog and I just knew I would have to rectify that straight away! In order to rectify that I figured I’d so a mega blog post covering the countries way up North but as it turns out, the … Continue Reading

Next up on the Nordic Expedition, we head off to Gothenburg in Sweden. The land of ice and beautiful people (or so the Swedes keep telling me). Okay, that’s a Swedish stereotype but to be fair, there was a lot of ice around and beautiful people so… Right… now, where was I? Oh yes, so … Continue Reading
