Without doubt the month we spent traveling the Thai islands was my personal favourite. The Thai islands has it all from snorkeling and scuba diving in crystal clear waters to rock climbing and full moon parties. Everywhere we went we met really cool people, some we had already met throughout the rest of South East Asia and even a few people from home. We spent several nights in Phuket after flying there from Bangkok. Phuket was the ideal taster to the Thai islands with beautiful beaches and a vibrant nightlife. Much of time was spent lazing around the beaches or drinking [View Full Entry]

Vietnam & Cambodia

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 [View Full Entry]

The month travelling through South East Asia, Thailand and Laos has been a truly memorably experience and everywhere we went we met so many like minded backpackers doing the same thing. South East Asia is without doubt a backpacker’s haven, with something for everyone. For us, ATV (quad bikes) and elephant rides in Thailand and boat trips along the Mekong and Tubing ( to be explained later) in Laos and a real drinking culture ( unlike in India) was a perfect mix for travelling in South East Asia. Bangkok is the backpacker’s capital of South East Asia. All bac [View Full Entry]

Super Chilled in Goa

 Asia » Thailand
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 [View Full Entry]

22 Days from Delhi to Mumbai Our Indian Adventure has been a chaotic and exciting journey. From Tiger Safari in Ranthambore National Park to the Taj Mahal in Agra, from the boat trip along the Ganges to the camel safari in Jaisalmer, it has been an action packed 22 days. No doubt travelling India is not for the faint hearted; even the most experienced traveller will be tested at the best of times. The culture shock can take at least a few days to adjust to. And even then, the sight of cows in the middle of the street and an [View Full Entry]
