Upon arrival in Hong Kong, as any good traveller would, we hurried off to our hotel to drop off our stuff while taking in some of the city on our ride in. Luckily, we got upgraded to a two-bedroom suite at the hotel with amazing views all round (more on that on another post). Before … Continue Reading
Cambodia is a gorgeous country, with so many beautiful places to experience it can hard to nail your trip down to one area (and why should you). It’s a country filled with the most breathtaking countryside, amazing temples and enough yummy food to fill any rumbling tummy. Though, don’t forget about the cities, too. This … Continue Reading
After two nights in Chitwan, it was time to say farewell to this fantastic UNESCO World Heritage site and head off in search of more of Nepal! Our next stop was a very important one for Buddhists, not just in Nepal, but across the world – the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lumbini, the birthplace … Continue Reading
I can’t remember what I expected from the Philippines. To be honest, I can’t even remember exactly even why we wanted to visit El Nido in Palawan. I think it’s one of those things that just sneaks up on you and before you know it, it’s become a full-fledged travel goal. I do remember sending … Continue Reading
Kyoto tends to conjure up images of tranquil shrines (hence why it is know as the city of a 1,000 shrines) with the most hues of flora and is a hugely popular tourist destination in Japan. If you were planning on visiting Japan, my guess is that you’ve already made a mental note to add … Continue Reading

I’ve got a real soft spot for Singapore, not just because it was ‘home’ for six months but because it’s a much more diverse, culturally rich and cooler city than most people think. Of course, you’ve got the glitzy marina, the amazing glossy buildings but there is so much more to Singapore, with unique experiences … Continue Reading
Starting off at the temple in Anuradhapura was an ideal place to start our tour and learn a bit more of why this city is significant to Sri Lanka’s history (it is the first capital after all and a UNESCO World Heritage site) but there’s so much to see in Anuradhapura that you kinda need to … Continue Reading
After our morning snorkelling around the house reef, the rest of the afternoon was devoted to soaking in as much sunshine as possible and splashing around in the pool! The Angsana Velavaru ocean villa pools are a lot bigger than I’d anticipated and, drinks in hand, are a perfect way to make the most of … Continue Reading
On our penultimate day in Bali, we finally decided to see what was actually some of the most obvious spots to visit in Bali but ones we’d never gotten round to seeing (like not the last time we’d visit and not even on this current trip). We started off with one ‘closer to home’ – … Continue Reading
If ever there was a country to travel to for beautiful beaches, Thailand is it! There’s a whole heap of the best beaches in Thailand that are dotted all across the country.

Swiftly following on from my photo diary on Tokyo, here’s what we got up to on our first day in Tokyo. Now that I think about it, considering how we’d spent half of the day travelling and settling into the city, we only had half of the day left to explore the city and we certainly … Continue Reading
Hokkaido apparently is called by many other names Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso and is the second largest island in Japan (thanks Wikipedia) 😉 One thing Hokkaido really stands out for is its beautiful natural landmarks so if you’re a nature buff (which is very different from a naturist 😉 ) then you should definitely … Continue Reading
After a good nights sleep in our Ryokan the day before, we headed straight for breakfast of fish, miso soup and rice before heading out to explore the busier side of Yokohama. After gorging the lot, we packed up our bags and hopped on the Yokohama Seaside Line with the Yokohama Bay Hotel in sight. … Continue Reading
