This February, we spent a full week on a motorcycle adventure in Vietnam. We hired two guides (through Easy Riders Vietnam, based in Dalat) and set off to explore the Vietnamese Highlands and the coast from Hoi An to Hué together. We came back with over a thousand photos, which is why it’s taken us Continue reading
Despite all the horror stories of backpackers partying non stop and indulging in drunk river tubing, Vang Vieng is actually a really pretty place. And I’m not talking about the downtown party streets – they truly are lined with cheap bars showing reruns of Friends all day long. But the area surrounding Vang Vieng – Continue reading
It’s summer time. For me, that means beach time. Time near the water and on the water – kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, snorkeling. I love all of it. And even better if I can do all this on Europe’s best beaches. I asked a few travel bloggers about their favorite European beaches – here they Continue reading
During our time in Luang Prabang, I did a cooking course with Tamarind Cooking School. One of the things I miss when I travel is being able to cook my own meals. I love cooking, it’s kind of my zen-meditation time of the day. There’s something about the repetitive chopping, and taking in all the Continue reading

I love Bangkok. But Bangkok is a crazy city, so I like to balance things out by staying in a relaxing area. And there’s nothing more relaxing than being by the water. So whenever I’m in Bangkok, I try to find myself a riverside Bangkok hotel near the Chao Phraya river. This March, I stayed Continue reading
Whilst Luang Prabang is hugely popular with travelers to Laos, those not on the backpacker trail are often not familiar with the city. When talking to friends during our trip, they often told me ‘I just had to google that. Looks amazing!”. Luang Prabang is, in fact, an amazing city. So here are 13 Luang Continue reading
While we were planning our latest stay in Bangkok this March, we were looking for some luxury experiences, and one of the things I wanted to do was to try some new or unusual spa experiences. I came across Theta State Float Center on TripAdvisor. I’d heard about float centres before and been meaning to Continue reading
A lot of the more upscale hotels in Luang Prabang advertise their views. So when a hotel calls itself the Luang Prabang View Hotel, it’s promising a lot. Does it deliver? We spent two days at this hotel in Luang Prabang this March to answer that question. The drive there was an indication of what Continue reading
