Nestled within the mountains of northern Thailand, only three hours from its border with Laos, Chiang Rai is a city that’s often overlooked by travellers – with many favouring the traveller hotspot of Chiang Mai or the mountainous village of Pai. But – and you know I love my controversial opinions on where I like […]

I’ve always been a massive nerd. I used to be that kid that would stay in reading instead of going out to play, and I still am that adult that stays in reading rather than going out to play. BUT when I was a young adult I developed this love for travel, and suddenly found […]

It acts as country borders, is home to floating markets, and is vital for transportation in some areas. But, fun fact – it’s actually home to […]

While in Java, I managed to adopt a ‘travel all day hike all night’ routine, which is exactly what […]

I know what you’re thinking when a trip to Wales is suggested. Mountains and castles. Strictly, you’re right – Wales is home to an amazing range of mountains, including the superstar of Snowdonia, the walker’s dream of the Brecon Beacons and the fabulously named Sugar Loaf mountain. It’s also got over 600 castles (what?!) dotted […]

If you’re backpacking South East Asia and start talking about Laos, you’ll generally get asked just the one question: did you go to Vang Vieng? My answer: Yep, I hated it. Honestly. I hated the most popular tourist destination in Laos. Vang Vieng is a tourist hotspot, the busiest place in Laos without a shadow […]
