Carnival in Campeche
The bus from Merida to Campeche was super cheap as we checked the ADO website and were able to book one of the times (which so happened to be the perfect time coinciding with check-out and check-ins) for 50% off, so it was only 180 pesos or about £7 each! Unfortunately, it was absolutely FREEZING…

City Living in KL
On our journey to Indonesia, we decided to make a quick pit stop in KL, mostly because of the convenience and price of the flights – direct flights from Hat Yai were cheap and then onward to Medan also very cheap. I have been to Malaysia before, and for me, it was one of the…

The Ultimate Snorkeling Experience – Coron to El Nido Expedition
Now the real adventure was starting, and I booked something a little bit different to usual.

Arriving in Quito
I was so excited for my trip to Ecuador! I had booked the trip initially more than 2 years ago for April 2020, and was finally able to rebook for this year April 2022. A holiday was long overdue! However, one big benefit to having my trip cancelled and rebooking, was that I was able…
