We finally arrived in Siem Reap to stay in the best hotel yet on the trip! We were ... Read more >

So after an amazing 12 days in Vietnam I headed to Cambodia, a country I have wanted to visit for a very long time!

Saigon & Ho Chi Minh City - same same but different.
The further south you travel in Vietnam the more Western it gets. But nothing prepared me for the stark difference between Hanoi and Saigon. Completely different cities! Both cities are undoubtably ... Read more >

Shopping, shopping, shopping with a bit of culture thrown in is how I would describe Hoi An. It is the perfect place to pick up souvenirs, get a dress made or to just chill out in one of the restaurants overlooking the river.
Our transportation to ... Read more >

An eerily beautiful boat trip in Halong Bay with epic scenery will definitely be a highlight of this trip. Would be great to see it in summer time with the sun shining but the fogginess gave the trip a 'pirates of the caribbean' feel which is hard to ... Read more >

POLAND | Tuesday, 12 Nov 2013 | Views [405]
Spending a week in Poland due to the fact that it was the cheapest flight out of Israel was a great idea! While the temperature difference to Israel was a joke it is so freaking cheap! My first few nights were spent in the royal capital of Krakow.... Read more >
PALESTINE | Wednesday, 6 Nov 2013 | Views [279]
Okay, so I felt that my one day in Palestine deserved a seperate post. When I told my parents that I was going to Israel mum of course freaked. But I calmed her saying I wouldn't go if I didn't think I was safe. I mean Jerusalem yes, but the West ... Read more >
