I’ve always dreamed of going to a beautiful secluded island where you sleep in bamboo huts meters away from the ocean. Where there’s nothing to do but lounge in hammocks all day, sip cocktails and get completely engrossed in a book. This is exactly what we did at Sangat Island Dive Resort, the only resort on […]
Shipwreck diving in Coron Bay, Philippines is world famous for a reason. It’s more spectacular and epic than you could imagine. Our time here was world’s apart from island hopping in El Nido or Boracay! After reading about the many WW2 Japanese ships that were attacked by US forces on September 24th 1944, and how you […]
After an incredible time on El Nido, our next stop was Coron Town on the island of Busuanga (also in the province of Palawan). Coron is the main town on the island for diving the world famous WW2 ship wrecks (read all about my Shipwreck diving in Coron Bay). Not to get confused, there’s also […]
Arriving in El Nido was an island dream come true. With the long journey to get there and the fact that it is still relatively untraveled, it really felt like a special kind of paradise. As I mentioned in my last El Nido post, the true beauty of this protected area is when you reach […]
Spending a month in the Philippines was one of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. It was my boyfriend and I’s first big travel trip together, so that definitely added to the excitement. We wanted a more unusual beach destination, in SE Asia, with world-class dive sites (since we’re both keen divers). Also so we […]
I absolutely love planning a vacation. Reading blogs on the top things to do, best hotels to stay at and restaurants to dine in, and then going there to make my own little reviews. After reading up about Cancun and learning that it doesn’t really portray the ‘real’ Mexico, plus the fact that it’s mostly […]
I’m back offshore now after having such an incredible vacation in Mexico and Seattle. It was a whirlwind of non-stop activity and adventure with the most wonderful guy. Pretty much the perfect string of dates :). We rendezvoused at the luggage carousel in Cancun airport, and off we went to collect our rental car and make our way to […]
My sister has just left Egypt. She was living there with her fiance for 2 years, so it became my ‘home’ for a while. I used to visit her all the time in the non-stop, wonderfully chaotic city of Cairo. It’s pretty ‘centrally’ located (from the UK and Europe) so flights to Egypt can be found at […]
My first solo travel trip was 6 weeks spent exploring around Bali and the east coast of Australia. Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands were at the top of my list. I really appreciated how there was something for everyone, whether to go diving, sailing, sky jump, party or just relax. Off the state of Queensland in […]
The Sultanate of Oman is an enchanting, unique country that I know well, having lived there for 5 years. If you’re planning a trip to Oman and want to add some adventurous activities to the agenda, then look no further. Oman is very rich in tradition, having preserved its strong heritage that dates from 5,000 […]
