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
Thailand is one of my favourite countries I’ve had the fortune of travelling to. It really surprised me how much I loved it as my expectations were so different from the reality of being there. Now, the Mainstream media likes to portray Thailand as a place to go partying and yes, sometimes the focus is … Continue Reading
Harajuku brings with it connotation of bright and energetic Japanese fashion but there’s a lot more than that going on in this fun city! It’s also really easy to get to from Tokyo so if you’re in the capital, you definitely need to make time to visit and do at least one of these 10 … Continue Reading
Despite heading to bed fairly late on my first night in the Maldives, the jet lag got the better of me and fight it as I tried, I just couldn’t go back to sleep and so I decided to head out on my bicycle to watch the sunrise. I literally jumped out of bed, in my PJs, … Continue Reading
The very mention of the city, Shanghai brings about images of bright city lights, ancient Chinese architecture, delicious and perhaps not-so-delicious food, a hive of activity and a city that is unlike anywhere else in the world. The problem with that though is that it’s very hard to combine all of these different ideas into … Continue Reading
Sri Lanka seems to be one of those countries that everyone’s been thinking about this year! It’s one of those special countries that has an immersive culture, some pretty epic teachings and enough spiced hoppers to enjoy, day after day! Over the course of this year, we’ve been fortunate to be able to visit Sri … Continue Reading
If you’ve been on our Instagram, Twitter or Facebook lately, you’ll probably have noticed that we’ve been to Japan – more specifically, Tokyo and I’ve got to say, this city is everything we’d hoped it would be and more. The trip came about as something of a last minute whim-after-wine with friends as we saw … Continue Reading
When most people think of visiting Indonesia, they think of visiting the gorgeous places in Bali, to see its incredible temples and stunning waterfalls. That being said, the capital, Jakarta is a great little spot for a few days visit, especially if you’re already in Java. Now, being such a big and populous city, it … Continue Reading
Chitwan (in Nepal) is absolutely scorching hot! Like we’re talking high 30sC which hits mid-40s thanks to the humidity! Oh, that humidity is one of the fiercest we’ve ever encountered on our travels – almost impressively so! Chitwan National Park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the famed one-horned rhino (officially … Continue Reading
Our trip to Tokyo was one of our most ambitious trips yet! For starters, we had absolutely no plans to actually go to Tokyo when we first headed out this way – we actually were only ever meant to go to Seoul. As with any good travel plan, after a few glasses of wine with … Continue Reading
The next morning in Kyushu, we woke up bright and early (nothing quite like jet lag to help you get an early start on your day) to breakfast at our Ryokan in Beppu. Breakfast if a full-on affair with options to go for a full Japanese breakfast affair or the more Western option (egg, bacon…etc). … Continue Reading
After exploring Kanazawa, the day before, we decided to make a stopover to Yokohama which is actually a pretty nifty 30 minutes from Narita Airport (and Tokyo, for that matter) by train. It’s funny, we’ve visited Tokyo twice before and for some reason we’d never ventured beyond the city limits to visit Yokohama which is … Continue Reading
Confession: I’m still not entirely sure how to pronounce Phuket! Is the ‘Ph’ pronounced like ‘F’ or ‘P’. Come to think of it, is the ‘Ket’ pronounced like ‘Pet” or ‘Pit’. To be entirely honest, I was too excited upon arrival in Phuket to ponder on these questions at any great depth. I just wanted … Continue Reading
Whilst visiting Hong Kong, we were trying to decide what to do (after a couple of days exploring the sights) and one of the things that came up was visiting the nearby country of Macau! Now while I can’t remember what the other option was, visiting Macau won clearly by a long mile so we … Continue Reading
