Before we left to explore the world we were told not to go soul searching or to expect any major revelations and we would not suddenly find all of life's answers. The plan all along was to just go and enjoy the ride. Which we certainly did! However, it has been kind of life changing for us...… Continue reading What’s next..?

We arrived in Kathmandu with every intention of doing the trek alone. We picked up our Sagamatha National Park permits and paid our entrance fees. We booked our flights up to Lukla and had rented the equipment we needed. We knew the way and had planned where we would stay each night. However at the… Continue reading Everest Base Camp: The Trek

The Inca Trail leading to Machu Pichu was obviusly on our travel bucket list so there was no way we could head back home to the U.K. without experiencing this epic trek. But infact we did miss it out and opted to do the alternative Salkantay Trail instead! The cost to reach Machu Pichu via… Continue reading Machu Pichu independantly

Our days in Cancun were the most relaxed and chilled that we had had throughout our whole trip. We were so chilled that we never went sightseeing or in fact anywhere else besides the beach through the day and local bars at night. It was probably a good thing that we stuck to the beach… Continue reading Getting lost in Cancun

U.S.A. isn't the most budget friendly country to explore but we were not going to let that come in the way of our west coast trip from Seattle to Las Vegas. With this in mind, we hired an amazing camper van, stocked up the fridge and cupboards and headed straight to McDonalds for our $1… Continue reading Boon docking U.S.A.

Its certainly on most peoples places to see list but often is overlooked as a getaway due to the high prices on the islands. Prices are definitely more in Hawaii than even on mainland USA, but we managed to explore the… Continue reading How to visit Hawaii on a budget

We loved being back in Asia with the smell of insense in the air, colourful offerings lining the chaotic streets, smiling vendors and free dogs everywhere. Bali is known for its beaches, stunning rice fields with waterfalls and temples inland and volcanoes and mountain lakes making for an impressive skyline to the north. The Balinese… Continue reading Bali the ‘paradise island’ on 2 wheels

We had just 24 hours in Hong Kong in between flights from Asia to USA but in that time managed to see a good portion of Hong Kong's highlights and fit in a 8 hour sleep and leisurely breakfast before heading back to the airport. I think with a good 8 hour layover in Hong… Continue reading A night layover in Hong Kong

There is no getting away from it, a stay in Singapore is super expensive for backpacker budgets. We almost didnt go at all on our world trip but decieded to give it a go and just enjoy the electric atmosphere as much as we could and glad we did. By making a couple of changes… Continue reading Singapore backpacker style

I grew up watching 'friends' on TV which was pretty much based entirely on 20something people doing everything they could to be where they should be in life by the time they reached 30 (in a hilarious way of course). And where should you be? What should you be acting like? I assumed the '30 ticklist' would… Continue reading How I imagined turning 30 to be, compared to how it is!
