Spending a month in the Philippines was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. It was my boyfriend and I’s first big travel trip together, so that definitely added to the excitement. We wanted a more unusual beach destination, in SE Asia, with world-class dive sites (since we’re both keen divers). Also so we […]
It would be crazy to go to Nepal and not experience the Himalayas. With much excitement, we made our way to Pokhara, where we would begin our 5-day hike on the Ghorepani Poon Hill trail. The trek is a very popular one to do. There are a lot of hiking routes to embark on, however we found […]
If you’re looking at this post you’re probably already considering a trip to Kathmandu. My advice is yes, yes, go! With so many beautiful temples to visit, Tibetan and Nepali culture to learn, wonderfully warm people, and just to experience the bustling life of the city – it is worth the trip. Plus it is home to the […]
I traveled around Nepal earlier this year for several weeks. It’s a fantastic place to visit, with the stunning Himalayas to explore, rich culture and the warmest people. It’s really an adventurers dream destination! I visited just before the earthquake hit Nepal, so there’s a feeling of sadness as I share my photos, as many of the […]
Recently I had a long break off from work. It was incredible as I got to travel and explore more corners of the world. I had an amazing 3 weeks in Nepal for starters. One of the highlights of the trip was experiencing parahawking. You basically run off a cliff (after a few deep breaths!) and […]
There’s so much to do within Seattle – you can visit the space needle, go to the glass museum, visit the many art museums, hunt for one-off pieces at Fremont’s Sunday Market, take a picnic in one of the many parks.. the list goes on! There’s a lot of fun adventures to be had outside of Seattle […]
I absolutely love planning a vacation. Reading blogs on the top things to do, best hotels to stay at and restaurants to dine in, and then going there to make my own little reviews. After reading up about Cancun and learning that it doesn’t really portray the ‘real’ Mexico, plus the fact that it’s mostly […]
I’m back offshore now after having such an incredible vacation in Mexico and Seattle. It was a whirlwind of non-stop activity and adventure with the most wonderful guy. Pretty much the perfect string of dates :). We rendezvoused at the luggage carousel in Cancun airport, and off we went to collect our rental car and make our way to […]
For as long as I can remember, the prospect of going on a Nile cruise has always been exciting and magical. When I was young I came upon an Agatha Christie book named “Death on the Nile”. The book followed a company of several odd characters as they travelled through the Nile, where the traditional incidents that the […]
My sister has just left Egypt. She was living there with her fiance for 2 years, so it became my ‘home’ for a while. I used to visit her all the time in the non-stop, wonderfully chaotic city of Cairo. It’s pretty ‘centrally’ located (from the UK and Europe) so flights to Egypt can be found at […]
