I used my first full day to explore the city, and to stretch my legs after so much lazy time on the island. My walk took me along the riverside and then further into the tourist area of the city to the Central Market. This reminded me a lot of the market in Phnom Penh …
It’s hard to put the feeling and experience of Koh Rong into words. I think it is best explained by peoples’ desire to stay. I thought I would stay a few days and was there for two weeks, many people do the same or decide they don’t want to leave at all, halt all other …
Arriving in Cambodia I was surprised at how happy I was to be out in the tuk tuk moving through Phnom Penh to the hostel, delighting in sights such as street food and the sheer number of scooters ducking and diving through every gap in the road. I was delighted to find a new record …
My two days in Camiguin were rather quiet, with not many other tourists on the island and most of those that were being couples, I spent most of the time exploring alone. That is not to say I didn’t have fun. On the first morning I hired myself a scooter for two days giving me …
I had a good feeling about Bohol from the moment I arrived, and things got off to a great start as I managed to get 11hrs much needed sleep during my first night. The next morning an American girl arrived in the hostel and I headed with her down to the beach. Just as I …

There was an increase in four wheeled vehicles compared with Vietnam, with …
My first full day in Ho Chi Minh I decided to go for a walk to explore the city. I soon find it was easy to walk miles just trying to see the centre of the city. My first stop was the central market. This was a hive of activity with locals and tourists both …
I made it to LangBiang mountain without too much trouble. Thanks to help from the girls who worked in the hostel and a lift to the bus stop, I was on my way out of town by 10am. The bus route ran through local towns and villages, a lot of which were under construction, and …
As the first big city I have seen here since Hanoi, Danang is such a refreshing contrast. Everything felt much more spacious and relaxed in comparison. We took a walk along the river shortly after arriving, and were met by a view of mountains in the distance, and several bridges stretching along the water. One …
It would seem I’m making a habit of signing up for things without really knowing what they entail. Yesterday I went on a new tour starting around the National Park which gave you the opportunity to see rescue animals and the Botanical Gardens. This was the only information I had but it sounded like an …
