This year James and I went all out on a big adventure and travelled to Japan for the festive season (and Seoul too, but you’ll hear more about that later). It exceeded all expectations and I most certainly want to go back. As soon as possible! There was snow and ice, winds that shut downContinueContinue reading “Getting to Niseko”

New Years Road Trip
James and I took an epic road-trip over the North Island for the holidays. 27th December: Wellington-Taupo Getting up and beginning a road-trip with the worst hangover I think i’ve ever had was not a very good idea! Poor James had to do all of the driving for the whole day as I felt pretty shocking. At one point we were walking round K-Mart in PalmerstonContinueContinue reading “New Years Road Trip”
Rock & Roll Weekender
When James and I first met, he mentioned that he was going to a few gigs down in Christchurch and Dunedin (Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath). I said that it sounded very cool and he asked if I wanted to come along too (I think he thought I was more into heavy metal than I am). Obviously IContinueContinue reading “Rock & Roll Weekender”
Bangkok – Take four!
So back in Bangkok for a fourth time, I decided to go to one of the famous roof-top bars. However, as I don’t have a lot of money and most of the bars are super expensive, I opted for the roof-top bar at CentralWorld…its a shopping mall! It was amazing! You could see for milesContinueContinue reading “Bangkok – Take four!”
Leaving Koh Tao
After a gorgeous few days here in Koh Tao, it is unfortunately time to leave. I have really enjoyed spending time here, despite a few days of illness and the long winded way of getting here, it’s been bliss to just relax after all of the action! I do think, however, that I have somewhatContinueContinue reading “Leaving Koh Tao”
Diving in Koh Tao
As I now have an open water diving certification, I thought it might be fun to dive here in Koh Tao. As I didnt have a camera under the water with me, I have found a great website where you can see images of common marine life found around Koh Tao. Master-Divers has a greatContinueContinue reading “Diving in Koh Tao”
Bangkok to Koh Tao
After a very long night of travelling, first by Train from Bangkok to Chumphon, then by bus from Chumphon to the coast and finally by boat to the island, I arrived in Koh Tao. The journey really tired me out and I wasn’t feeling too bright, so the first thing that I did upon arrivingContinueContinue reading “Bangkok to Koh Tao”
Bangkok – Take three
Another short Bangkok trip. In order to prepare myself for Wellington (New Zealand) and the work that I will be doing, I thought it would be a great idea to go shopping. There are three main shopping centers in Bangkok: Siam Paragon, Siam Centre and Central World, all of which are brilliant, huge and full of gorgeous shopsContinueContinue reading “Bangkok – Take three”
Laos: Vientiane
Vientiane is a small and lovely city seated on the edge of the Mekong River, right next to the Thai border. The French originally settled the city and you can still see the elements of their time spent here; bakeries, shuttered villas and even the locals speaking in French occasionally. I spent a few lovelyContinueContinue reading “Laos: Vientiane”
Laos: Vang Vieng
I spent a few days in the Tubing capital of Laos…and it’s not really that hectic any more. In November the government shut down a lot of the riverside bars and clubs because a lot of tourists were getting very drunk and actually killing themselves doing stupid things. What is left is only a mereContinueContinue reading “Laos: Vang Vieng”
