Thailand train travel
We were loving getting the train so far in Thailand, it was reliable, clean and incredibly cheap. Especially for the ordinary 3rd class fan seating. But we were starting to feel the pull of the ocean, since we haven’t worn any of our snorkelling gear, rash vests or swimwear for about 6 weeks now (not…

Baking in Ayutthaya
Ten years ago I went solo backpacking through South East Asia. Although I was solo, I made many friends along the way, and was even joined by some friends from home… I came to Ayutthaya with Dan, who was visiting from the UEA at the time. We got the train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and…

Fulhadhoo: The Maldives Hidden Gem
From Dharavandhoo, we were due to take public ferries over to Fulhadhoo. I found a timetable on the MTCC website which showed a public dhoni from Dharavandhoo to Eydhafushi at 9.05am and then Eydhafushi to Fulhadhoo at 2:15pm. However, the night before we were trying to confirm the boat times and found contradictory information. The…

Manta “stand-by” in Dharavandhoo
Our first destination for our big trip is Dharavandhoo, an island in the Baa Atoll of the Maldives. We came here for two reasons. First, the close proximity to Hanifaru Bay – famous for it’s giant schools (up to several hundred at a time) of Manta rays which come here in the summer months from…

The start of a long journey…
Well, we finally made it. We quit our jobs, I rented out my flat, we sold a lot of things and packed up the rest of our lives into storage, and here we are. First destination, The Maldives. But the Maldives are a collection of several atolls, split further into individual islands. The airport is…

Biking in Bohol
Planning my trip to the Philippines was one of the hardest, actually. Because there are so many places I want to visit and see. This trip, I only have just over 2 weeks, so to do all the things I wanted without feeling rushed was a challenge. I think the amount of time I spent…

Sleeping in El Nido
Unfortunately, my holiday eventually caught up to me, and whether it was something from the plane, maybe too much boozing in Coron, or exerting myself snorkelling too much, but by the time I got to my hotel in El Nido, I was FULL of a cold… I had booked to stay here for 3 days,…

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. I am not normally into group tours, but as I was looking into the “best snorkelling in the Philippines”, I found several companies operating this “expedition” they called it, which is a one way trip from Coron to El…

A Long Weekend in Kefalonia
Working full time, I am always trying to maximise my holidays, and bank holidays in the UK are always a great time to take a long weekend and get 4-5 days off for just 1-2 days vacation leave. However, if you’re going away for such a short amount of time, it’s hard to justify taking…

Island Life on Isabela (Galapagos)
I left Santa Cruz early in the morning to get the public ferry over to Isabela island. The journey was amazing, and I saw SOOO MANY Giant Mantas from the boat, especially since I was sat on the top deck with the driver and just 3 other tourists. Arriving in Isabela, I instantly felt the…
