Now before you all start, I actually wrote this post a WHILE ago but since Fiji doesn’t believe in WiFi stronger than 2mbps it was pretty much impossible to upload or download anything bigger than a snapchat or a WhatsApp message. Now that I’m back in ‘civilisation’ with hot showers, edible food and most importantly… Continue reading Hong Kong gone wrong…

Alright. From now on I’ve made a promise to myself that I’ll start doing regular updates on here rather than constantly trying to remember everything days, even weeks, after they've happened. You don’t realise how much stuff you're able to cram into the space of 2 weeks until you sit down and try to condense… Continue reading Back in ‘Nam

Picking up from where I left off last time, I did say I’d be writing an entire blog post based on my experience at the Killing fields of Choeung Ek and as a forewarning, this probably won’t be an easy read for most of you. It has actually taken quite some time to get around… Continue reading Choeung Ek Killing Fields: Pol Pot & The Khmer Rouge

After saying our goodbyes at Thai Time hostel in Chiang Mai, April and I made our way to the bus that would take us back down to Bangkok. We then swapped buses (I WISH it was as easy as I’ve made it sound...) and continued over the border into Cambodia. Our first stop here would… Continue reading Cambodia: tears, temples and terrible dictators

For various reasons, I had decided to postpone the elephant jungle sanctuary until after I came back from Pai. To be honest, I was exhausted after the train from Bangkok and I really didn’t want to rush into anything or book anywhere just for the sake of it. When it comes to choosing a reputable… Continue reading Chiang Mai Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

Pai is a funky little hippie town situated in the mountains of northern Thailands’ Mae Hong Son Province. It’s right near the Myanmar border and around 146km north of Chiang Mai (...the city where my 14-hour-train-ride-from-the-depths-of-hell dropped me off). Chiang Mai is a great place with an abundance of things to see and do but… Continue reading A little piece of pai…

Chiang Mai is fantastic. I had booked my hostel on the overnight train and as soon as I arrived, I hopped into a red truck taxi and made my way there for some sleep and a hot shower. I was staying at ‘thunderbird’ hostel. A funky, edgy, design hostel right next to the fruit markets… Continue reading Oh Chiang Mai…

First off, sorry for the silence. In a way it’s a good thing, I’ve been having an absolute ball and for that reason, my blog has been a little quiet and y’all have been messaging me to update it. So I’m back, I’m writing and wait till you hear what I’ve been getting up to...… Continue reading The Bangkok- Chiang Mai overnight train from hell

Towards the end of the tour in Sri Lanka I was beginning to feel exhausted. I’d barely slept in weeks (due to the fact I was sharing a room with a baby walrus) and I was beginning to wish the tour to an end. It’s not that I don’t like people...it’s that I can’t tolerate… Continue reading Alone in Bangkok
