Our arrival to the shores of Sanur was not a comfortable one, as we are dumped from our boat from Nusa Penida into near waist level waves. RIP Fanfan’s iPhone. But it is always these low points in travel that make the highs so much better. And the contrast in comfort on arrival to the …
It’s hard to say these days that anywhere is an off-the-beaten-track Bali destination. But there are still those areas where you can escape the mass tourism and overdevelopment that otherwise rules the southern beach resorts of Bali. And our advice would be to travel north, away from Denpasar Airport (airport transfer here), then don’t stop …
I never quite realised just how popular Asian Street food is until this collab, where in mere hours I already had 50 plus entries from travellers and bloggers from all across the globe. And while I obviously have a passion for writing about street food and Asia, I can say it was much more enjoyable …
On our recent episode (2022) of “I’m bored, let’s go live somewhere else?” we ended up in Hua Hin for a month which coincided with my inevitable Thai tourist visa extension. This meant tracking down the local immigration office in Hua Hin which is in a very handy location at Bluport Mall. To date, this …

In 2017 we travelled from Honshu to the Sapporo Snow Festival by rail (JR Pass) crossing the Seikan Tunnel on our journey between Tokyo (Honshu) and Sapporo (Hokkaido). We then spent no more than 48 hours in total in Hokkaido, with less than 24 hours in Sapporo and the surrounding area. Yet I feel that we still …
Our stay at Ulu Ulu Resort, in Temburong National Park, threw us far out from our usual comfort zone, as part of a wider project for Fanfan to face her fears in Brunei’s deep Bornean rainforests. And it has taken us a while to share the resort experience, but it is no doubt one of the …
As always my planning for this trip was haphazard and lazy. By booking flights less than 2 weeks in advance, without checking the VISA situation, I am left with a last minute scramble for a VISA. First I find for British Passport holders there is an excess fee for an Indian VISA Application. While Fanfan …
On my first visit to Laos, Vientiane I stumble on a group of kids in the grounds of That Luang Temple who were playing a game similar to French Petanque (or les Boules). A simple game traditionally played on a stretch of gravel as players throw metal balls at a small wooden ball or jack. …
I have taken on this journey, from Bangkok to Malaysia, four times now over the past few years. The first time was over 5 years ago, and the route hasn’t changed much since then, or at least until recently. In mid-2015 the Malaysia KMT railways upgraded to electrical lines, meaning the connection at the border …
To date, through 4 separate road trips in Northern Thailand, we have now covered all 9 provinces, and have put together a simple road trip itinerary that loops through them all (nine province road trip here). So we have covered a fair bit of the north ourselves, but at the same time, it’s unrealistic to …
