After stumbling off a night bus from Krabi to Bangkok, I was in need of a serious refuel. It was 5am, I was on Koh San Road (completely sober) and I had a cooking class booked… but not until 9am. My hotel was the other side of the city, and…
Arriving into Ao Nang was a rather surreal experience. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it was definitely more along the lines of chilled out fishing village – the days of which are obviously long gone. Instead, I was greeted by a huge party strip with more bars…
When I was overlanding from Bali to London, I wanted to go to Mongolia, and I wanted to go to Kazakhstan. So I had to find out the best way to get from Mongolia to Kazakhstan, which obviously didn’t involve a flight. Simple, right? Actually, it’s not that easy. On…
Travelling by train is my jam. I’ve taken trains all over the world – mainly on my trip from Bali to London with no flights – and it’s without a doubt my favourite way to travel. When planning my Turkey itinerary, I wanted to make sure that I saw as…

The enthralling, all-encompassing, non-stop city of Hanoi is somewhere that every traveller should experience at some point in their life. Most people visit Hanoi on their first or last stop of a Vietnam itinerary, or others see Hanoi and the surrounding area (normally Sapa and Halong Bay) as one seperate…
Tourism in Bali has been booming for decades, but has arguably even become more popular in the last few years. Travellers from all over the globe are planning their Bali itineraries, travelling to the Indonesian island and wondering exactly where to stay in Bali. If you’re a bit overwhelmed about…
DID YOU KNOW? Capsule hotels are the new 5* hotels. Ok, I may have just made that up (and tbh, would rather stay in the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel than any capsule hotel). BUT Capsule Hotels in Singapore are pretty awesome. I recently stayed in two while visiting Singapore,…
I’ve spent quite a lot of time travelling by train in China, and I really enjoy it. It’s fast, easy, safe, comfortable and affordable. So I knew how I was going to get to Ulaanbaatar. Train, of course! It’s fast, easy, safe, comfortable… then I looked at prices on Travel…
