What is Italy famous for? Well, many things, but one thing is its mountains. So, in true better-later-than-never-fashion (I don’t feel too bad though, as this was the month that the postcards from this trip finally arrived at their destinations), the next three entries will be dedicated to my early June trip to my most […]
Nikki
The Lost Passport
I’ve always prided myself in being quite a ‘good’ traveller. I’ve been through many travel situations and have handled them decently. My brother and father frequently like to incredulate over the fact that even though I get lost cycling from my house to my friend’s house, I manage to navigate Aberystwyth, Wales to Auckland, NZ. […]
Surf life on Bali beach

Ubud, rice terraces, elephants and biking hiccups

Our first night we asked our hostel […]
Towards Bali via gumless Singapore
Welcome to Paradise. … is how Bali is advertised. So, we decided to go and see if it’s true… My friend Nikki was visiting me from Finland, and we decided we wanted to do a beachy trip out of Vietnam. What better place than the idyllic, famous Bali. We only had a stint from Monday […]
