Asia

I visited Hoi An, a beautiful town in Central Vietnam, just one day after the major typhoon had hit. Much of the town was still closed off to visitors and the destruction was clear to see. We were limited on time due to the flooding and access, and this meant we had just under one […]

Central Vietnam was the first major stop on our trip. We arrived just a few hours before a typhoon was due to hit, and were immediately locked down in our hotel. Sadly, most of the week was spent in hotel lockdown rather than out and about exploring as planned. I was really upset as I’d […]

It’s Mr Travelling Han (MTH) here, back for another year’s guest post. I’ve been all over the place again this year with work but as always the place I’ve spent the most time in is Singapore. I have to say it’s now my favourite country in the world, and it now feels like a home […]

In memory of Percy Peacock. During World War Two (WW2), Singapore was a British stronghold in South East Asia. In 1942, the Battle of Singapore saw the Japanese capture the city, leading to the largest British surrender in history. Singapore fell to the Japanese on Feb 15th 1942, and remained under Japanese occupation until 1945. […]

Happy Hannah was back; out in force to visit another tropical Botanic Garden. In my opinion, Singapore is home to the best Botanic Garden in the world; albeit I haven’t visited all of them so I’ll have to settle on saying – I really can’t see anything beating this INCREDIBLE place. So, if you’re planning […]

Gardens by the Bay is undoubtedly one of the most famous attractions in Singapore. It’s super futuristic and beautiful and is definitely one of the highlights for a first time visitor to the country. Between my husband and I we’ve actually visited 5 times, so I thought it was time to write a guide on […]

I LOVE Singapore. It’s one of my absolute favourite cities in the world and given my husband’s job often takes him there with work, we’ve visited quite a few times between us now. So, I thought it was about time I collated my experiences in to a series of posts on this wonderful tiny nation. […]

Finding a good hotel that feels like a haven to come back to after a busy day exploring is part of the joy of travel for me. I don’t mind being uncomfortable exploring, pushing my comfort zone and taking difficult journeys, but I do love an oasis to come back to. The Banyan Tree Kuala […]

Every itinerary I saw for Kuala Lumpur included absolutely beautiful pictures of a magical and colourful cave complex a short distance from the city centre, known as Batu Caves. I knew I had to add it to my list, and whilst I am really glad I visited, it was probably my least favourite stop on […]

Shhhh – I want to tell you about an absolute hidden gem. As our taxi pulled in to the side of a main road to drop us off, I wondered where on earth we were, but as we strolled through this deserted, beautiful, green city, it was one of the best days we had on […]
