Philippines Pt 1 – Coron – A place like home!
My journey to Coron was incredibly quick and painless. Landing at the very small airport and quickly hopping in a bus to my accommodation. A very cute, family run home stay, with two rooms of four beds. It’s run by joy and her partner and they live there with their two kiddies, who are genuinely…

Siem Reap: Sunrise temples, Some More Temples, and Kitty Cafes.
The journey to Siem Reap felt like it wasn’t to bad, however there were a few hours where I was convinced I was going to be sick… This didn’t occur though and on arrival, me and some pals jumped in a tuk tuk to the hostel. On arrival, it was decided that we would shower…

Koh Rong: Sand Castles, Stromy Nights, and Total Relaxation.
After the most dire nights sleep, I awake feeling 100 times worse than the day prior. With every movement comes more discomfort and the fever is so strong I believe eggs would cook perfectly on my skin. With this in mind, i however still try to go to Koh Rong! The logic is that Maïwenn…

Phonh Phen & Kampot: Bribery, Meusums, Pepper Farms, and Illness!
The bus from Vietnam to Cambodia was a particularly interesting one. The man on the bus tries to take your passport but I decided this wasn’t wise and held on to mine, along with 2 girls on the bus. I had my Cambodia Evisa which saved me (to be explained). First you cross Vietnam passport…

Ho Chi Minh: Fine Art, a Shooting Range and War Meusums.
My arrival to Ho Chi Minh was pretty smooth, a 5 hour bus followed by a very quick taxi. Checking into hostel No.1 (had to book 2 because the first was full for my early check in lol). Straight into my bed, unfortunately not straight to sleep with one guy snoring so loud and me…

Hi Van Pass: Bicycle rides, Waterparks, Sunny days, And Incredibly Fun Times!
The first stop on the Hi Van Pass is Hue. The journey here was yet another cramped night bus, this time was five of us squeezed into the back of a bus, luckily for me though it was only for 5 hours, and entertainment was provided by the couple in front of me that couldn’t…

Nimh Binh & Phong Nha: Gardens, Caves, and Rather Blue Rainy Days.
The trip to Nimh Binh was a smooth ride, a quick four hour bus and I arrived at my hostel. After checking in, I hired a bicycle, at last finding somewhere I don’t have to get on a motorbike! The first day was spent at the Bich Dong Pagoda. A pretty area with lots of…

Cat Ba/Ha Long Bay: Karaoke Bars, Boat Trips and Hungover Hikes.
The journey from Cao Bang to Cat Ba was a long one, but not particularly unpleasant. Firstly was the night bus from Cao Bang to Hanoi, where I slept the entire way. From here, I found out I needed to be at another bus station, so hoping on a grab bike I would leave my…

I Was Put on this Earth to do Stupid Shit with Funny Guys: A Core Memory
This post is dedicated to Tyrone the octopus, Clarke and Aaron. On return to my room on Tuesday night I am greeted by TWO ENGLISH MEN! This may seem small to some but after three days of no one speaking English this was a joyous occasion. After formal introductions, it was dinner for three. Ending…
