Swimming with the fishes in Koh Tao

THAILAND | Monday, 17 Feb 2014 | Views [540]

After an uninspiring time in Bangkok I was eager to move on- to Koh Tao, an island famous for scuba diving. I've had the idea of getting certified in the back of my mind for absolutely ages now, just never got around to it, really. Well, I heard that ... Read more >

Thailand's biggest party- check!

THAILAND | Monday, 17 Feb 2014 | Views [484]

I arrived at Koh Phangan fairly unsure what to expect. It's always hard when you leave somewhere you've had a really great experience, to not be kind of biased toward the next place, thinking it can't possibly be as good. It was as good and even better! ... Read more >

A truly great wall

CHINA | Thursday, 6 Feb 2014 | Views [647]

This is a bit late, I know. I got a bit fed up with the computer at the hostel in Beijing (slow and restricted!) and stopped using it. Soz. So, it's confirmed. The Great Wall, is, in fact, great! One big tip for it though, no matter if you do a guided ... Read more >

Kansai

CHINA | Saturday, 1 Feb 2014 | Views [435] | Comments [1]

Kobe was my last trip using the Rail Pass and also my first ever experience Couchsurfing! For those who don't know it, it's a website/network that allows you to connect with people across the world to socialise, get information, sightsee and stay the ... Read more >


Japan Rail Pass- Lake Biwa Day Trip

CHINA | Saturday, 1 Feb 2014 | Views [346]

Did a little day trip to Hikone on Lake Biwa from Nagoya, a place I'd been wanting to go for a long time and saw probably the last bit of snow I'll see in a long time! It started as I was walking toward the castle and continued semi-blizzarding on and ... Read more >


Japan Rail Pass- Kyushu

CHINA | Saturday, 1 Feb 2014 | Views [370]

Onward to Kyushu! After much waffling and failed couchsurfing requests (I was way too disorganised for it!) I decided on a vague itinerary: Fukuoka-Nagasaki-Kumamoto-Aso and possibly Kagoshima, depending on if the timing worked out. It didn't, lol. I'll ... Read more >


Japan Rail Pass- Hiroshima

CHINA | Saturday, 1 Feb 2014 | Views [341]

Next, Hiroshima! I really liked the size and atmosphere of the city and the Peace Park was surprisingly really peaceful and calming, despite its reason for existing. There are, of course, various tragic reminders around the park and obviously there's ... Read more >

Hanging out for Chinese New Year

CHINA | Friday, 31 Jan 2014 | Views [385]

On January 28th I made the final leap and left Japan for good- or at least for an undefined period of time. It was hard, and that's all I'll say about that since this is a travel blog, not a personal one ;) But it was time to look forward to Beijing ... Read more >


Japan Rail Pass- Tokyo

JAPAN | Wednesday, 29 Jan 2014 | Views [431]

I'll make the JR Pass the first story, even though I've told most of you about it by now. I still haven't posted many pictures or really given details so here they are! Well, basic ones anyway, there are too many places to give you a full account of ... Read more >
