If you’re looking at this post you’re probably already considering a trip to Kathmandu. My advice is yes, yes, go! With so many beautiful temples to visit, Tibetan and Nepali culture to learn, wonderfully warm people, and just to experience the bustling life of the city – it is worth the trip. Plus it is home to the […]
You can’t come to Nepal without a visit to the country’s largest stupa (dome-shaped structure built as a Buddhist shrine). Boudhanath stupa is one of the most important, holiest temples in Nepal used for pilgrimages and meditation for Tibetan Buddhists. Look how magnificent it is, all 36m of it! A short drive from the centre of Kathmandu […]
I traveled around Nepal earlier this year for several weeks. It’s a fantastic place to visit, with the stunning Himalayas to explore, rich culture and the warmest people. It’s really an adventurers dream destination! I visited just before the earthquake hit Nepal, so there’s a feeling of sadness as I share my photos, as many of the […]
Sometimes, we just want to be spoiled. We work hard, study hard, take care of our families and sometimes all we want is to be spoiled and pampered for a little bit. Some of my friends are soon heading off on a luxurious trip to Bali (their only requirements). They recently asked me for advice on the […]
Recently I had a long break off from work. It was incredible as I got to travel and explore more corners of the world. I had an amazing 3 weeks in Nepal for starters. One of the highlights of the trip was experiencing parahawking. You basically run off a cliff (after a few deep breaths!) and […]
After all the “hard work” of searching for the perfect wedding resort, we decided to treat ourselves in Bangkok to an evening amongst the clouds, overlooking the city’s glittering nightlife at Vertigo and Moon Bar, Bangkok. I’d heard all about the rooftop restaurant and bar at the top of the luxurious Banyan Tree Hotel, so couldn’t wait […]
My sister is getting married soon, so we set off for Koh Samui on mission ‘Wedding Resort Hunting’. Thailand is our favourite country, and we have such wonderful memories from the island, so it wasn’t a difficult decision. We made a list of top resorts to check out, booked appointments for all before heading off on our […]
My sister and I booked dinner at Nahm in Bangkok, after discovering it’s one of the Worlds Top 50 restaurants as well as being voted no.1 in ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’. It’s owned by the famous Australian chef David Thompson who also has a Nahm restaurant in London. We put on our best dresses, slipped our heels on and […]
If you’re looking for a modern, stylish hotel in Koh Samui, Thailand, then look no further than The Library Boutique Hotel. I stayed here on a wedding-resort hunt with my sister. It was such a fun trip and staying in this hotel made it just that bit more special. Hidden away down a private street just […]
I can never miss the opportunity for a trip to one of the world’s biggest markets, Chatuchak in Bangkok. It’s only open on the weekends, attracting more than 200,000 locals and tourists each day. So you can imagine that it’s a hectic, sweaty, chaotic buzz of food, stalls and people selling just about anything under the sun. […]
