Life is good. After my not so recent post about travel fatigue I noticed I've not actually ever said how the wave has passed and how I am thoroughly enjoying the choices I've made and the life I am living. The fatigue comes and goes, and when it comes, it feels like it won't …

We've just woken up in Hong Kong and my oh my what a city. Firstly I want to thank you guys for the messages, love and support regarding my recent rant about having travel fatigue. I know it's normal and to be frank things are already so much better. They were already better when I …
We took the train out to Ninh Binh province on our last day in Vietnam to explore what people like to call Halong bay on land. Yes, we did in the end crawl out of the proverbial hole that is our hotel room. Both of us felt sufficiently rested and ready for one last outing …
My shoe just ripped and the sparkling wine bottle we had bought yesterday and not finished just decided to pop. To be fair, I was waiting for this to happen. But did it have to happen today? There is a heavy rain outside and we are moving hotel for the 7th time here in Hanoi. …
I wrote this post a while ago but due to sheer laziness in finding pictures and our site crashing, it sort of did not get published. No judgement!

Last week we spent a day in the historical park of Ayutthaia. Ayutthaia is an ancient Thai city and was later on captured by the Burmese and sacked. In grandness the city of Ayutthaia certainly rivals the Forum Romanum in Rome. Today you can walk among the vast city ruins in this historical park and …
After we left Koh Phi Phi we had such high plans of continuing our island hopping bonanza for an additional week, making it to Koh Tao for some snorkelling or diving, to Koh Pha Nghan for the full moon party and Koh Samui just because..? We made it as far as Koh Tao. Our first …
For the past weeks since we left Bangkok we’ve been beach bumming on various islands. Weather hasn’t been great or inspiring and has meant quite a few days where we’ve been caught in sudden gusts of wind and rain. We’ve spent a lot of time on scooters, much to Steven’s joy. He’s found he …
Thailand! Oh where to start?! In the taxi on our way to our hotel “One night in Bangkok” was actually blasting from the radio. Now that was a really awesome coincidence. A tad cliché, fair enough. But pretty cool. Welcome. We are not going to lie, coming to Thailand brought about this huge excitement in …
