Post-travelling life

After 3 months on the road, visiting brand new places everyday, it was sad to come home. But, the end had come to a trip we had spent so long planning and so long looking forward to. Three months flew past and it was May 2017. No one likes coming home after a holiday and...

America!

The 13 hour flight from Auckland to Los Angeles (after a 3 hour flight to our stopover in Brisbane) wasn't actually as horrendous as it sounds. We were flying with Virgin Australia, who were great - with fairly good food and great TV choices! It's also been years since I've had an in-flight goody bag! Here's some...

New Zealand

After our lovely and relaxed week in Melbourne, we said goodbye to Australia and flew over to its neighbour, New Zealand. Helping us to explore the north and south islands were the Kiwi Experience. We'd board a big, green bus nearly every day, drive through scenic landscapes, with regular stops in interesting places, until we reach the town where we're staying. Everyone...

Australia Part 2 – Cairns & Melbourne

I'm sorry that I've been terrible at blogging recently - I have been quite busy, as you can imagine and now I have so much to catch you up on... We're currently in New Zealand and preparing to leave soon for America! It's safe to say we're tired!  We have also had some wifi issues...

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

This post comes to you from Brisbane airport - waiting for our flight to Cairns. We're finally in Australia, the country which inspired this whole trip in the first place! I've wanted to come here forever and it feels surreal that I'm now actually here.  We flew here from Singapore so the flight was only...

Vietnam and Singapore

I've been terrible with blogging recently and I now have 2 countries to update you on! I'm currently in our 5th county of the trip so this post is coming to you from Sydney, Australia. In my last post you'll have read that we were flying to Vietnam after Thailand. These two countries actually felt...

Bye Thailand!

This blog post comes to you from Vietnam as we have come to the end of our travels in Thailand! I last told you about Kanchanaburi and Elephants World - my most favourite place in Thailand. After the amazing few days there, we headed back to Bangkok to catch a sleeper train down to Phuket....

Elephants World

So far in Thailand we've taken tuk-tuk rides, slept on a sleeper train and paid about 50p for dinner, but the best part so far has to be our 48 hours at Elephants World.  Across Thailand you'll find many elephant sanctuaries or companies which offer elephant experiences but the problem with many is that they...

Travelling – Bangkok and Kanchaniburi, Thailand

This is officially my first travel post! I'm writing this from Thailand on the start of our 3 month world trip. We've only been away 5 days so far - in which time we have explored Bangkok and travelled north up to Kanchaniburi and visited an elephant sanctuary. I'm actually writing this post at lunch...

Rome, Italy

I've been able to visit some really amazing places so far this year and my latest trip was quick city break to Rome, Italy. We booked a last minute deal in August and got 4 nights and a hotel with a pool - which was perfect for our last day as temperatures were reaching nearly 30...
