It was a photo of Lucky Bay with its pure white sand, unreal blue water and kangaroos that made me want to plan a trip to this area of Australia so I was pretty excited to be heading there today. We booked two nights in the Lucky Bay campsite at a whopping $40 per night…

Parrots, beaches and friendly locals | Esperance, Australia
Sunset was approaching so we looked for a spot to camp. We bought some mobile data for this trip in case of emergencies but it ended up completely stopping working today so we stopped at the tiny village of Varley, home to just 10 people but hundreds of parrots. As we pulled into the village…
The start of our Western Australia roadtrip
Returning to Australia was never really part of our plan. It was the first country we ever visited together back in 2008 when we lived in a station wagon car for 9 months which also housed a family of mice, humongous cockroaches and hand-sized spiders, maybe that’s why we never planned on coming back? But…
Exploring the little island of Malapascua | The Philippines
We wanted a fairly easy trip in the Philippines with little travelling and more relaxing so we tried to pick islands that were fairly close to each other but we didn’t do a great job of that. Today we were travelling from Moalboal to Malapascua which is a tiny car-less island just above the northern…
Snorkelling with sardines and turtles in Moalboal | The Philippines
As far as travel days go today was pretty damn flawless. Our guesthouse owner in Siquijor drove us to the port at 6:30am in his shiny, white tuktuk. The original plan was to get the slow ferry to save money. Two fast ferries were leaving beforehand so we just sat around and waited until we…
Moped adventures around Siquijor Island | The Philippines
It’s been a long time since we last rented a little moped, I think it was in Myanmar when we whizzed around on a cute little e-bike exploring the ancient temples. Craig always does the driving because I can’t be trusted. He tried teaching me in Thailand back in 2009 on what we thought was…
Flying to the Philippines and our first few days exploring Siquijor Island
Our flight from Seoul to Cebu in The Philippines was an uncomfortable one. I had a mum next to me with an oversized baby with extra long limbs on her lap who was borderline at the stage of requiring it’s own chair. After a huge tantrum with ear piercing screams the baby fell asleep, along…
A crazy mountain hike and our first Korean BBQ | Seoul
Many people visit South Korea for the food, the shopping and the beauty products which seem to be all over social media at the moment. Those aren’t really our interests so our plan was to do something a little different and take a hike in Bukhansan National Park which is just an hour north of…
From Seoul to the mountains in Sokcho | South Korea
We weren’t sure where to head after China but flights to the Philippines were reasonable and laying on a beach sounded rather appealing after the tough hikes in China. The price was basically the same if we flew to South Korea first though so that’s what we planned on doing. It’s not a cheap country…
Chengdu and it’s Giant Pandas | Our final week in China
After two months exploring China we’ve decided it’s time to leave. We’ve had the most incredible time and seen some of the best scenery in our 16 years travelling around the world but when things start to annoy us in a country we know it’s time to go. Things that were minor and never used…
