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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sometimes, we just want to be spoiled. We work hard, study hard, take care of our families and sometimes all we want is to be spoiled and pampered for a little bit. Some of my friends are soon heading off on a luxurious trip to Bali (their only requirements). They recently asked me for advice on the […]
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 apologize for not writing a post in a very long time! My work dragged me away from blogging and instead tied me to a desk where I spent my time slaving over books and consuming an obscene amount of coffee. (And to think I thought those University days were over!). However it was all worth […]
Just before coming back onboard, I sneaked in a wonderful weekend in Chicago. I’ve been travelling by myself for the first two years since joining this job, but it seemed a while since I’d gone solo. London was spent socialising with friends and family, Houston was spent making friends, dining and cocktailing every night. I loved every […]
