Cambodia Posted on January 7, 2017July 3, 2017 4:15am. It’s near pitch black in our room. After a frantic panic to turn off our alarms, we crawl out of our sleeping pods and make our drowsy way towards the showers. We slip into our pre-laid out clothes, grab our ready-packed bags and try our best to […]

Our first big year of travel. And its mainly thanks to saying goodbye to the UK and our retail jobs and heading to Vietnam to pursue new careers as teachers. Without a doubt the best decision of 2016. We started this blogging space in August and have since been a bit slow with sharing our […]

Holy guacamole. We cannot believe that we are now the best part of a month into 2018! 2017 marked our first full year of living in Vietnam, and with that some really great travel experiences. As with any year we have had highs and lows, joy and heartache. I managed to actually log our whole […]

We opted to spend our first Christmas away from home on the pristine paradise island of Koh Rong Samloem, off the southern coast of Cambodia. Due to the special occasion we decided to splurge and spend a bit more than normal on our accommodation. After all, we weren’t able to spend it with our nearest and dearest […]

Vietnam Posted on May 30, 2018May 30, 2018 Right, maybe I’m biased as a self-confessed lover of Ho Chi Minh City, but the city is a pretty cool place to explore. Rarely do tourist say they LOVE Saigon, which I think is such a shame and its mostly because few know how to scratch below […]

Photo Diary Posted on September 26, 2018September 30, 2018 It’s no secret that I love markets – the energy and insight into local life cannot be beaten! So I make a point of trying to visit a local market everywhere I visit. The markets in Vietnam always make my fingers a bit snap happy – […]
