We just about survived the critters of Fiji to arrive in L.A. with minimal sleep but pretty good sun tans (in my case anyway..) Our first couple of days consisted of trying to fight the jet lag which, unsurprisingly, is not that easy in a dorm of 20 ... Read more >

Such a wild duck

FIJI | Friday, 27 Sep 2013 | Views [517]

BULA! Greetings from Fiji! We've been in Nadi for three days after flying in from Auckland, confusing our bodies by changing climates every few weeks from snowy mountains to 85% humidity (with no aircon) and regular pondering if it's socially acceptable ... Read more >

so are we actually going to see any hobbits?

NEW ZEALAND | Wednesday, 28 Aug 2013 | Views [374]

We're a week into our new zealand tour so I thought it was time for a new post. We finished australia with a few days in byron bay which is basically a hippy town where everyone's either stoned or surfing. Didn't spot any hot surfer guys though :( #letdown.... Read more >

So it's been almost four months and a whole life in Sydney since the last post, sorry guys. We're still in Australia though so it's still legit to be updating now! Sydney was fun, we both ended up being cafe slaves for a few months, mine involving ... Read more >

Feeling sprightly.

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 13 Apr 2013 | Views [449]

Hey y'alll. Yeah it's been a while but there hasn't been that much to update! We arrived in Sydney on the 21st march and have pretty much just been chilling at this hostel trying to get jobs! Sydney is way cool, it's like living in a hot england; rather ... Read more >

And so here we are; ready to embark on country number two after 6 weeks loving life in asia! We spent our last full week in Chiang Mai which is kind of like Bangkok but smaller and ever so slightly more chilled out. It began relatively mildly and it ... Read more >

LAOS | Tuesday, 12 Mar 2013 | Views [529]

I'm writing this on our final leg of a 20 hour journey back to the thailand so excuse any mistakes. I'm tired. Saying goodbye to Laos after 10 days of activities and drinking. Didn't expect it to be such a drink-fuelled part of the trip but somehow we ... Read more >

So we're currently drinking milkshakes in the sunny village of vang vieng after a long hard day of activites! We started the morning visiting caves which involved (unbeknownst to us.. and everyone.. who tried to take on this task wearing clothes and ... Read more >

when did the sun come up?

THAILAND | Friday, 1 Mar 2013 | Views [468]

As dunks said before, the full moon party was pretty sick but definitely tamer than we (and our parents) expected! However waking up on the beach at half 7 after missing the sunrise, with no voice or memory and a questionable limp, was kind of ... Read more >

Day number 4 on koh phangan and it's involved too many parties, rings of fire hangovers and not much else! So this island is pretty insane. Much bigger than the tiny tiny koh tao and about 5 times the number of tourists. There are certainly no thai men ... Read more >

So we're officially qualified to scuba dive! Four dives in the sea and we've got our padi certificates. Just a tip: don't have a laughing fit underwater. I thought i was going to drown at the bottom of the sea bed after being asked to blow water rings ... Read more >

We started our diving course today, which in one word was hilarious. We were just chilling in the pool for now, getting all the skills we need including a wide variety of hand gestures.. Obviously we made our own for 'lol' and 'alert' which will be so ... Read more >

So in case you hadn't established already, our wifi is shocking. We haven't given up on this we just keep getting logged out of the internet after about 30 seconds. A lot has happened in the past week, our last night in Bangkok was probably one of those ... Read more >

We are basically Tom Hanks right now.

I'm happy to report our first attempt at using public transport here was a success!! We took the skytrain down to the pier and spent the day hopping on and off boats checking out the sites. So cultured. The hostel is pretty hilarious and we have ... Read more >

So we made it to our new hostel, just outside the main centre of Bangkok after the taxi driver got lost for a while; conveniently, being driven around in an airconditioned cab wasn't a problem for us! We are now in an 8 bed mixed dorm, aka the only two ... Read more >

THAILAND | Friday, 8 Feb 2013 | Views [536]

So after our tuk tuk adventure we decided we needed down time. Aka three BUCKETS of whiskey. It's thai whiskey though so surely that's fine?! Dunks decided it would be a good idea to eat a whole chilli, then wondered why it was hurting her throat.. creepy ... Read more >

Spent a chilled night on khaosan road (pardy road) last night involving pad thai noodles and a spot of haggling for some crochet tops (necessary). Not to mention i had my first ever beer #lad. Today we set out with the aim to find a pier and get a boat ... Read more >

So contrary to most people's (and definitely our own) expectations we have actually made it to Bangkok and we are sitting in a hostel. Genuinely surprised even this was managed, but thanks to lbads savvy Thai friends and some cheeky vodka's on the plane ... Read more >
