This post is unusually fresh in our minds as we only visited the Blue Mountains a few days ago. The Blue Mountains were not originally on our radar but a few friends from home and lots of people we’ve met in Oz recommended that we visit. With so many recommendations we couldn’t miss them!

Jake got me the most awesome birthday present last year – a trip to Pulau Selingan aka Turtle Island. I had researched the trip but had decided it was too expensive so I was over the moon when he treated us both. He’s such a good egg (sometimes!) This post will cover how we booked […]

We visited Koh Tao near the very start of our travels and it’s still one of our favourite places. We initially only planned on 4 days here but couldn’t bring ourselves to leave and ended up staying for a full week!

Singapore had been on our list for a while. We’d heard good things from a few people we’d met on our travels and decided to squeeze in 48 hours there before we headed to Australia. 48 hours in Singapore isn’t a lot of time! We did a bit of research before we arrived to make […]

Before we left the UK we did lots of research into the cost of travelling in the countries we were planning to visit. It wasn’t big news to us that Australia was going to be our most expensive destination. The aim of this post is to give you some real time information on the cost of […]

During our stay in Thailand we came across a few options for seeing/riding/trekking with elephants. This was something we really wanted to do but we were concerned about how the elephants were being treated so gave them a miss. We then came across Elephant’s World, a sanctuary for sick, old, disabled, abused and rescued elephants in […]
