So I left my friends in Australia in search of adventure in New Zealand. And I wasn’t disappointed it. It was an action packed month including a nerve-racking skydive, adventurous glacier hike, exhilarating white water rafting, and surreal underground caving as well abundance of parties including the fancy dress in a remote West Coast pub and a 3 legged pub crawl. Not only is New Zealand an action-packed fun place, it is also the most beautiful country I have ever visited. Glorious coastal scenery, magnificent mountain ranges and picturesque lakes seem to be everywhere you look. It’s a photographers dream. When booking my flights to New Zealand, in the excitement of it all, I booked my flights under Mrs. Peter Brosnan. Despite that initial mishap, I landed in Auckland, safe and sound. In Auckland, I explored ... read more

Seven months in Sydney is by far the longest we have stayed in any one place since we left Dublin a year ago. What kept us here for so long? Lack of money and place to work is the obvious answer. Another is the Sydney trap with so many people coming over to Australia and failing to see much outside of Sydney.

Having settled in Sydney, the next seven months would a totally different experience to travelling Asia but it would a different adventure that would ... read more

The month we spent traveling through Vietnam and Cambodia reflected a change in culture from laid back Laos. Vietnam can be both hectic and simple. The boat trip around Halong Bay illustrated some of the beauty that Vietnam has to offer. The smaller towns we visited were examples of the simple life most Vietnamese live. The major cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) gave us opportunity to sample the chaos of Vietnam’s cities. The war museums and tunnels introduced us to alternative view into the horrific war history of the country. Cambodia was a simpler, smaller country with an equaling horrible history of war and genocide as well as the architectural beauty of the temples of Angkor. Vietnam and Cambodia was more fascinating, educational and revealing than any other countries we have ... read more

After extensively travelling North India, it was about time to put our rucksacks down for a few weeks and chill out, and there’s no better place to do that than Goa. Although our 2 weeks in Goa were not as action packed as our north Indian adventure it was definitely more relaxing. Goa, famous for its beaches and louche living, gave us a break from the hustle and bustle of India and chance to recharge the batteries before we embarked on the South East Asian leg of our world tour. After spending just a few nights in Mumbai, (its hot and expensive) we were eager to get down to the beaches of Goa. With dozens of beaches to choose from and limited time left in India, we had be selective in which beaches we stayed on. ... read more
