This time last year I was dreaming of my upcoming trip. I spent countless hours scouring travel books and blogs, completely obsessed with finding the right items that would see me through 3-4 months on the road! The tricky part was packing for a month in India, followed by a couple of months in Southeast Asia,…
So, a couple of months after the fact, I am revisiting my travel blog and finishing up writing about the rest of the places I visited! Hope you enjoy. I loved Hoi An! After having spent so much time surrounded by high-rise buildings and in bustling cities, it was refreshing to be in a quieter place,…
Well, the end of an era has arrived. Today I said goodbye to Beth and Jacquie, who have been my other two-thirds over the past few months. It wasn’t an easy goodbye. I cried and walked back to the hostel in Chiang Mai, as they proceeded on to a bus to Chiang Rai. Even though…
On a tip from Jacquie’s travel buddy Tegan, we made a booking to stay at the Mojzo Inn while we were in Nha Trang. Best decision we ever made, and best hostel we have stayed at throughout our time in Southeast Asia, hands-down. The ladies who run this hostel (Snow, Twin, Gem, Lee, and their…
Good morning Vietnam! Well, it actually wasn’t such a good morning… we got off the bus from Cambodia in the middle of one of Vietnam’s busiest cities, groggy and disoriented. We carefully negotiated a deal with a taxi driver (after waving away most of the ones who had ambushed us when we got off the…
Mui Ne is a kitesurfers paradise! We arrived late at night to the Mui Ne Backpackers resort and were greeted by the roar of the wind and the crash of the waves. We were in Mui Ne for less than 48 hours and managed to fit a lot of activities into such a short period…
After many hours of bus ride, and a jarring vehicle switch in Phnom Penh at 6am (there is no such thing as a direct bus in Cambodia), we arrived in Sihanoukville, the main city on the coast, for some well deserved beach time! We checked in to Monkey Republic, the top youth hostel in the…
On our final day in Siem Reap we hit two sites I had read about but not yet seen, and I’m glad we managed to fit them in. The first, Bayon, was one of my absolute favourites. The last stop, the Terrace of the Elephants, was appealing mostly because elephants are my favourite animal, but…
Day two of temple sightseeing was packed! We started the day off right by getting up before dawn and heading out to Angkor Wat for the sunrise. Jacquie and I found a nice spot to sit, on the less crowded side, and sat to patiently wait for the sunrise. Well, we weren’t quite patient enough.…
Well I am now horribly behind in blogging! I was in Cambodia from March 1st to 13th, and have now arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I know this is a cliche… but time seriously flies when you’re having fun with your friends! I was really excited to leave India and start the next…
