My night bus to Cao Bang was pretty undramatic other than having my snacks taken off my before entry (still unsure why). At 5:30am I arrive in Cao Bang and head to my hostel which luckily lets me check in and get some sleep. My first day is a day of planning and getting to

The plane journey to Hanoi seemed to begin badly when a hungry Emma couldn’t purchase any food due to no one taking card at the airport, followed by entering the smallest plane ever with genuine concern it would fall out of the sky… things took a turn for the better when I ONCE AGAIN had

The ride to Luang Prabang was not quite as traumatic as the ride up to Nong Khiaw but it was pretty close lol… On arrival I headed out to watch the sunset on the river before having a pretty lame meal (it happens). An early night was in order as I had decided I wanted

The journey to Nong Khiaw was less than appealing. A 7am train journey (which was the most comfortable of the stint), followed by a 3 hour mini van ride, along the bumpiest road I have ever been on. I’m not kidding when I say I went flying on more than one occasion, and nearly got

My arrival to Laos seems to get off to a bad start at border control when I don’t have enough money to pay for my visa (whoopsie), this is quickly resolved though and from here things begin to smooth out. A quick taxi to my hostel and I’m off for a walk. I head to

My final days in Pia were the perfect balance of calm and chaos. From napping in a hammock to chill vibes in the country watching sunset. Chaos soon unravelled in the evening as me and kieran walked back into town… unaware of the bad driver behind, we walked along the grass, but soon entered the
-
The journey to Pai is known to be a horrible 3 hours, with most feeling violently sick with over 700 bends in total along the road. So I had prepared myself for hell… well guess who slept the entire way (minus the break) and according to others on the bus was practically on the drivers

The journey from Koh Phangan to Chiang Mai was split over 2 days. The first included a boat to Surat Thani. After some contemplation I decided I would fly north, for a few reasons, the first being that it’s far quicker and the second being I was getting ill and going on a night bus

An easy boat ride across followed by the SCARIEST taxi of my life, me, a small bike, my bags and a local driving like a mad man! It’s fair to say I thought I was going to die… but I didn’t! I check in and am reunited with Alex, my lub d friend from phuket,
