When you hear about Bali, you can probably imagine all of those influencer posts and pictures of insanely beautiful beaches, waterfalls and yoga/meditation retreats. If you’re around that part of the world it definitely feels like something you should witness, if not just to show it off to your family and friends on Instagram. The … Continue reading On to Bali →

Our next big destination was a visit to Burm and Emily’s Elephant Sanctuary (BEES), three hours outside of Chiang Mai. In order for us to be picked up by the owners though, we opted for a week long stay; mainly so we didn’t have to drag all of our stuff with us into the jungle. … Continue reading Back to Chiang Mai →

Once the high of having our first decent bed had worn off, we got a fresh one taking it in turns to try out the hammock. It felt like all the travelling had slowed down for a minute when you could look out to a peaceful haven. Everywhere you looked you could see nature just … Continue reading Pai →

With a final full day in Chiang Mai ahead of us, we stretched our tourist muscles and visited a 3D art museum.

The morning sun seemed to be drawn to the rows of colourful stalls scattered along busy roads full of mopeds and other taxis. Walls surround the … Continue reading Chiang Mai – Part I →

The only thing that truly felt safe was … Continue reading Bangkok to Chiang Mai →

Once you adjust to the heat of Bangkok, you’ll feel the rest of your senses go into overdrive.

The noises of the road are drowned out by the variety of … Continue reading Bangkok →
