After a hectic time at work studying for my promotion – sitting through 7 interviews and presenting my final project – I was very ready for a holiday. The moment I passed, I immediately booked a plane ticket to Marrakech to celebrate. I quickly searched through one of my favourite hotel booking websites Tablet, and […]
Shipwreck diving in Coron Bay, Philippines is world famous for a reason. It’s more spectacular and epic than you could imagine. Our time here was world’s apart from island hopping in El Nido or Boracay! After reading about the many WW2 Japanese ships that were attacked by US forces on September 24th 1944, and how you […]
After an incredible time on El Nido, our next stop was Coron Town on the island of Busuanga (also in the province of Palawan). Coron is the main town on the island for diving the world famous WW2 ship wrecks (read all about my Shipwreck diving in Coron Bay). Not to get confused, there’s also […]
Arriving in El Nido was an island dream come true. With the long journey to get there and the fact that it is still relatively untraveled, it really felt like a special kind of paradise. As I mentioned in my last El Nido post, the true beauty of this protected area is when you reach […]
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 […]
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 […]
You can’t come to Nepal without a visit to the country’s largest stupa (dome-shaped structure built as a Buddhist shrine). Boudhanath stupa is one of the most important, holiest temples in Nepal used for pilgrimages and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists. Look how magnificent it is, all 36m of it! A short drive from the centre of Kathmandu […]
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 […]
I can never miss the opportunity for a trip to one of the world’s biggest markets, Chatuchak in Bangkok. It’s only open on the weekends, attracting more than 200,000 locals and tourists each day. So you can imagine that it’s a hectic, sweaty, chaotic buzz of food, stalls and people selling just about anything under the sun. […]
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 […]
