As we reached the end of our adventure through Laos, our attention turned to Thailand, working out where we’d like to go and how long we’d like to stay in each place. One highlight of Thailand, for a lot of travellers, is the full moon party which takes place…

Upon arriving in Vietnam towards the start of February, we had planned to equally split the next three months (before our flight to St Petersberg) between Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. But as we to spoke to various travellers and received advice, we kept getting the same message: we…

One common question we have when telling people that we gave up our jobs, packed up our house, and went on an around the world travelling adventure, is how much does it cost. In time we’ll put up more articles talking about this, but right now the short answer…

After leaving Nha Trang we headed towards Mui Ne, a town which we knew very little about. Our open bus ticket meant we could get off at a specific amount of locations around Vietnam, and before reaching our final destination of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon)…

After surviving the Hai Van pass, we were excited to be in Hoi An over the Chinese New Year period (called Tet). Hoi An is roughly halfway between Hanoi (the former capital of the North) and Ho Chi Minh City (the former capital of the South). One of the…

Landing in Noi Ban airport (Hanoi, Vietnam), we felt more prepared for a new country this time. Mostly in terms of understanding the logistical side:

VISA – we knew what the VISA process is (bring 25 USD dollars to a desk at the airport, along with your passport, an…

After our last night in India, we flew out from New Dehli airport for a five-hour flight to Hong Kong, where we were scheduled to stay for 72 hours. Hong Kong is an amazing city, so it will probably seem strange we are only visiting for 72 hours -…

Three weeks have flown by and we can hardly believe we only have a week left in India to explore the final state we'll see this trip: Kerala. This part of India is perhaps most famous for the beaches and its backwaters (a series of lagoons and lakes which some people describe as the Venice of the East although I suspect the people that do this haven't actually been to Venice).

After enjoying our time in Udaipur, we readied ourselves for the internal flight that would take us to Mumbai. An hour an a half in the air, with Jet Airways, and we were ready to touch down in Mumbai, or Bombay as it was called whilst under British rule….
