Travel Guides Posted on December 18, 2016October 10, 2017 Oh Hoi An. What a charmer. We instantly fell in love with this ancient city! Hoi An is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque towns in Vietnam, where you can catch a glimpse into traditional Vietnam. Originally a bustling and wealthy port town, Hoi An has transitioned […]

Personal Posted on January 4, 2017September 21, 2017 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 […]

Vietnam Posted on November 21, 2017January 13, 2018 More often than not travellers pass straight through Da Nang with eyes on the nearby prizes of Hoi An and Hue. But this modern city, located on a stunning 20 mile stretch of powdery, white sand, is definitely NOT to be missed during your exploration of central […]

Vietnam is overwhelming for most people. New sights, new smells, new faces, new customs, new language. But one of the biggest things to adapt to is the traffic. The most common form of transport in Saigon, and across Vietnam, is motorbikes! There are lots of them. 8.5 million of them scooting about HCMC every day, […]

Philippines Posted on March 2, 2018May 4, 2018 After a very chilled three night stay in Port Barton we decided it was time to move on and see what all the fuss was about in El Nido. Following the rough mini-bus trip from Puerto Princesa to Port Barton, we weren’t feeling enthusiastic about the long […]

Since when have we been in the last quarter of 2017?! October was another fast (and productive) month here in Vietnam, so let’s quickly fill you in on life this side of the world! We made it out of city!! Twice! Shock, horror. I know, we’ve been mentioning at the end of every monthly round-up what […]

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 […]

Just wandering around Edinburgh will highlight some of the buildings and areas which inspired the Harry Potter we’ve all come to obsess over. So, it would only be fair to […]
