My favourite thing about KK was the night market. There was a section that sold everything under the sun, including mountains of fruit and veg, and a food section that came to life as the sun set. It specialised in seafood and there were piles of fresh fish waiting to be picked from the pile …

We ended up staying in Singapore for 10 days. This is much longer than we ever intended to stay and many people say, ’10 days! What did you do for 10 whole days in Singapore?’ Well heres what….. 10 Days led us to discover the Top 10 things to do…. 1. Shopping I …
Singapore is often compared to one giant shopping mall and although there are hundreds of other things to do in Singapore, shopping is the number one attraction. No matter how long you are in Singapore, you will never manage to visit every single shop. You can wander underground from shopping mall to shopping mall without …
For every traveller out there, there comes a point when it’s time to go home. For me, that time has come. Looking all fresh and squeaky clean! This is me 18 months ago, ready to leave home. After 18 months of travelling, on March 26th 2011, I am going home. In case you didn’t know, …
We had such a good day and were like little kids running around all day. It was exhausting but great. It was like entering a different world where fun is the primary objective of your whole life. We rode rides over and over again until we felt so sick we had to sit down. We …
I have loved our time in Singapore, a city of such lovely contrasts. A city where East meets West and mingles together with perfect ease. The contrasts begin as soon as you get on the train; first stop Tenah Merah and then you come to names that I’m more than familiar with like Town Hall, …
Lovina, northern Bali, is a fabulous place to relax and chill out. What better place to do this than at Air Panas Bajar Hot Springs? Air Panas Bajar is just 10km from the center of Lovina so all you need is a map and a scooter. Luckily, we arrived early and beat all the crowds that started …
Spiritual Sights around Ubud After a week of early morning yoga, afternoon cakes and carafes of wine in the evening, we thought it was time to break our well established Ubud routine and get out and about to explore the sights. We hired a scooter for the day and weaved our way through the polluted …
We went to bed like excitable children on Christmas Eve, strangely enjoying the anxious energy that flowed through the hotel. But it wasn’t Father Christmas who was visiting that night. There had been rumours, whisperings, murmurs about the special someone that was coming. It was someone powerful. Someone we should fear. Hushed conversations and strange …
I’m currently sat in a fluffy white robe, stretched across a plush sofa, 25 stories high, with a magnificent view over Kuala Lumpur. I’m opposite a queen size bed that is wider than it is long and Sam is sat about 10 meters away from me at a huge desk while he uses the Internet and …
While travelling, you don’t always get much choice about where you stay. Hence this place…. We arrived in Moni, Flores at 8pm. It was dark, we were tired and could find no other accomodation within walking distance. We were being hassled by about 15 guys on scooters who wanted to take us to their ‘friend’s, uncle’s, …
The official name for the Monkey Forest is ‘The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary’. These monkeys have been living here for hundreds and hundreds of years and the three Holy Monkey Temples were built during the mid 14th century. There are the three grand old temples, two graveyards and intricate monkey statues everywhere; these all look …
Luban Bajo in Flores, Indonesia, is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination for backpackers looking to get away from the usual routes and see something a little different. It is also the launching point for most people to visit Komodo Island which is why we’d travelled out to this point in Indonesia. But Komodo Island …
, We took a slow boat from Gili Trewangen to Senggigi which took 4 hours to cover a distance that I’m pretty sure I could have swum. We first went to Bagsal on a worryingly overcrowded boat and then waited there for a very confused hour until we finally got …
The Gili Islands are off the northwest coast of Lombok and easily accessible from either Bali or Lombok. There are three islands; Gili Trewangan which is the biggest and known as the ‘party island’ as it is where most of the backpackers head to, Gili Meno is in the middle and is what people seem …
We flew into Denpassar, Bali’s international airport on a late flight from Sydney. Because it was a late flight we didn’t bother with public transport and jumped straight in a taxi to Sanur. Denpassar airport is really well set up for taxis. There is an office with a fixed price to certain destinations and you …
I am officially a yoga goddess. Well, nearly… I signed up for 10 classes at The Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali. Yoga is something that has always interested me but I’ve always been a bit scared to try a class. I’m about as flexible as a wooden ruler and didn’t fancy being the one at …
