Why I Will Never Be Finished Travelling

Kelly Dunning — Sun, 19 May 2013 19:02:56 +0000

“So… when do you plan to finish travelling and settle down?” It is a question that we are often asked, by friends and family as well as by strangers who we explain our nomadic lifestyle to. Whenever this question comes up, I stumble over the answer because I really don’t know what to say. The ...

Lee Carter — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:18:00 +0000

I was nervously excited before our visit to Tiger Kingdom. Who doesn’t want to cuddle a tiger? We jumped in a Tuk Tuk and headed out of the old walled city of Chiang Mai towards the giant kitties. Tiger Kingdom is a popular attraction in Chaing Mai that allows visitors to see tigers up close, pet ...

Lee Carter — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:14:53 +0000

Facebook is banned by many ISP’s in Vietnam. I spoke to many recently arrived backpackers acting like addicts going cold turkey as they had not yet found a way around the “Unofficial Ban”.

Vientiane in Photos – Laos Travel

Lee Carter — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:52:10 +0000

I suppose Laos does not really have cities, just small towns and villages with seemingly more temples than cars. Many backpackers don’t spend ...

Waking up at 3:30am after only having around 4 hours of sleep is never easy. For those first few moments, my body fought with the overwhelming urge to sink back into the pillow and close my eyes again. But then I remembered why I was waking up at this ungodly hour and a little shiver ...

Tubing In Vang Vieng, Laos and the Dangers of Traveller Stupidity

Lee Carter — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:55:17 +0000

Floating down the river with the sun shining and beautiful mountains passing you by. Tubing in Vang Vieng is every bit as wonderful as it sounds. You drift along at a lazy pace, past lush forests, herds of cattle and young boys spearfishing near the banks. The Mekong River meanders slowly, giving you plenty of ...

Note: Nobody can really seem to agree if buying a suit in Hoi An is a good idea or not. The subject divides opinion so I will just tell you my experience. Faced with the best and worst dressed mannequins in Vietnam I found myself unable to answer a simple question. Do I need a ...
