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 […]
It would be crazy to go to Nepal and not experience the Himalayas. With much excitement, we made our way to Pokhara, where we would begin our 5-day hike on the Ghorepani Poon Hill trail. The trek is a very popular one to do. There are a lot of hiking routes to embark on, however we found […]
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 […]
Having finally reached one of the biggest promotions I’ll get in my career (it only took 3 years), I’m feeling so relieved and excited to share my food & travel journey with you over the last several months. I’ll start off with a short and sweet healthy recipe for a healthy banana & blueberry smoothie. It takes […]
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 […]
