Siem reap was a place a high on my list. I had seen so many pictures of the temples of Angkor and I couldn’t wait to explore them. I wasn’t really sure what to expect of Siem reap but it certainly wasn’t what we saw when we arrived. In my mind I pictured quiet, dusty … More Temples, tuk tuk’s & 50c beers, Siem Reap Cambodia
Bangkok is like a cultural melting pot. It is the perfect mix of old and new. You have the craziness of Khao San road which is filled with backpackers, markets, restaurants and bars selling cocktails in buckets, you have China town selling strange foods and markets full of trinkets as far as the eye can … More Four days in Bangkok, Thailand
After spending around 3 weeks lazing around beaches and trying to dodge the endless rain in the south of Thailand we took a quick two hour flight right to the north of Thailand to an awesome city called Chiang Mai. I didn’t know too much about Chiang Mai except for two things- it was full … More A cultural paradise, Chiang Mai Thailand
I love elephants. I love everything about them and I have always admired them, even more so since I read the book Leaving time by Jodi Picoult (you should read it). So when we decided we were going to Thailand, visiting an elephant sanctuary was high on my list. An astonishing 3,500 elephants are kept … More A friend for the day, Chiang Mai Thailand
Thailand is a country that has been on my list ever since I can remember. Being so close to Australia, I’ve had plenty of friends visit the South of Thailand and I’ve always been so envious of their photos of turquoise waters, long tail boats and limestone cliffs. Now it was my turn. My big … More Three weeks in the South of Thailand
After three blissful, sun soaked weeks in Bali, we begrudgingly got on a plane and flew to Malaysia. It wasn’t that we didn’t want to go to Malaysia, it was just that we didn’t want to leave Bali! I had fallen in love and three weeks had flown by way too fast. Our first stop … More All about George Town, Malaysia.
I’d been so envious of my friends when I had previously seen all their photos from their vacations to Nusa Lembongan. I couldn’t get over how blue the water looked and I knew for sure I had to see it for myself one day. We met up with two of our lovely friends and … More Bali on a budget: Nusa Lembongan
After Kuta, we knew we wanted to head South down to the Bukit Peninsula but we weren’t exactly sure where to stay. After plenty of Googling and reading my lonely planet book we decided to head to the beautiful Balangan beach and I’m so glad we did. Our trusty taxi driver, Freddy Kruger, picked … More Bali on a budget: Balangan beach
I don’t know if it was just because it was my first trip overseas, but when I first came to Bali in 2007 I stayed in Kuta and I definitely wasn’t a big fan of it. It was dirty, loud and full of street dogs, beggars and drunk Aussie bogans who didn’t know how to … More Bali on a budget: Kuta
I first came to Bali in 2007 and again in 2009. These trips were spent partying in the Bounty (a seedy club) every night on my first trip and on my second trip I barely left my 5 star hotel except for massages and food. I felt like I was lying if I said I … More Bali on a Budget: Ubud
