There was a little town on the map that caught my eye and resulted in a detour to reach it. The town was called Winslow and it sat along the historic Route 66 in Arizona. My surname is Winslow-Llewellyn (thanks to my parents being indecisive and giving me both their surnames and not thinking about…

Starting our roadtrip through the snowy mountains of Washington
It was a rainy day but we didn’t care as we were about to start our big roadtrip and cross the border into the USA. Ruby the van looked incredible (even if we say so ourselves) and she was going to be the coziest of homes for our 6 month trip. We drove up to…
Visiting an idyllic sandbank in The Maldives
I’m a sucker for a sandbank, a slither of sand rising out of the sea, a new island forming and more reason for the Maldivian’s to laugh in the face of global warming. We asked a few locals if they thought the Maldives would be covered by sea in the future and they confidently said…
Living the good life | Visiting a Resort Island in The Maldives for $30
Some of the resort islands in the Maldives allow tourists to visit on day trips which is the perfect compromise for people like us that choose to spend our money more wisely (sorry fancy resorts but we could buy a campervan for the price of one night in a luxury villa!). The deals vary, some…
Dog Bites, Rabies and a Secret Beach | Sri Lanka
To the west of Mirissa is Secret Beach which obviously isn’t a secret anymore but it was still a very pretty spot. There were actually two beaches back to back, one totally calm and shallow with rocks and fish visible in the clear water and the other wild and wavy but with dreamy turquoise and…
Blue Whale Watching and Dreamy Sunsets in Mirissa | Sri Lanka
Mirissa is a hip beach town about an hour away from Unnawatuna. It’s the perfect place to kickback and relax but its also a great base to see the worlds largest mammal – The Blue Whale. To see the whales we needed to go on a boat trip which cost about $30 per person and…
Exploring the Temples of Bagan | Myanmar
There’s something very special and yet very creepy about exploring the ancient temples of Bagan at sunrise. It’s eerily dark and quiet outside with just the sound of bats wings flapping over your head and the scurrying of rodents on the stone floors as you walk inside the temples. Narrow stairways lead up to the…
Rainy season on a beach in Koh Chang | Thailand
As we stepped off the plane in Bangkok we were hit by a wall of heat and humidity. It was wet, our skin instantly felt damp and after a long day flying from Uzbekistan we probably smelt damp too. The temperature was 10 degrees cooler than the Stan’s yet the humidity was quite stifling. It…
Exploring blue lakes and gushing waterfalls in the Fann Mountains | Tajikistan
Life is very calm in the Stan’s, we don’t get hassled, taxis don’t honk for our attention, it’s all just very peaceful and easy – except for when we arrive at a shared taxi stand and suddenly dozens of men crowd around us. It’s bizarre! They fight to get our bags out of the taxi…
A horse ride, hike and traditional yurtstay at Kul Ukok | Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan is THE place to go horse riding in Central Asia, so as a belated birthday treat we went on a one day horse ride to Kul Ukok near Kochker. We were driven to the horsemans house where we found out he didn’t speak any English except for the word “problem?”. I was quickly given…
