Well, it has been a very long time since my last post! 2019 was a bit of a work year for us, and while we did do a bloggable trip to Margaret River, I never got around to writing it. Then 2020 happened. Therefore, I have been paying to have a blog site that I … More 14 Days in Van Diemen’s Land (Part 1)

After missable Mandalay, we luxuriously flew to Bagan rather than take a bus. It was very nice to do so. The airport even sold Italian gelato and we indulged in that while waiting for our flight. We arrived in Bagan in the evening, checked into our hotel and then promptly continued the Italian theme by … More Beautiful Bagan (with balloons!)

After Inle Lake we took an 8.5 hour “bus” (read: minivan with uncomfy seats) to Mandalay. It was quite a long arduous journey during the day where I got a lot of reading done. The good thing was that it was never a full bus so Callum got to lounge in the back by himself … More Surrounds of Mandalay

From Yangon we took a very long 12 hour overnight bus to Inle Lake. These sorts of trips are always really tough for me, someone who values comfort perhaps more than anything! But when we first got on, the seats were comfortable and we had a tv screen with movies to watch. The choices were … More Fishing for Lake Carp

It’s been over a year since I wrote a blog post. In that year, we have been working and having normal day to day adventures. It was a bit of an adjustment after nearly a year of travelling to come back but the busyness of work and home-life took over once again. It was both … More Mingalabar, Myanmar!

We spent 6 days in Flic en Flac, Mauritius and kind of used up most of our time just resting.  The time of year was not the best to visit the island nation as it is cyclone season and it rained a bit the first two days we were there.  However, it was not a … More Reflections: Nine Months of Travel

Once Christmas was over we headed over to the Czech Republic to the only city it has: Prague.  I’m joking, Czechia, it’s short-form name for English speakers, has more than just Prague, but most of the tourists only go to Prague and we were no exception this time.  Prague is a gorgeous city, even in … More In and Out of Germany (Part 2)

We took a break from Germany to see a couple of other cities that were close by.  First, we went to Salzburg, Austria which to me is famous for one thing only: The Sound of Music.  It was a short two day visit that would have been more enjoyable if it was warm but I … More In and Out of Germany (Part 1)

We left the quiet city of Baden-Baden for the busy little Füssen.  The town itself wasn’t busy when we arrived in the middle of the afternoon, but it gets busy as it is the town that services perhaps the most famous castle in Europe: Neuschwanstein.  You might not be able to say it, but you’ve … More Castles and an Unfortunate History

As our travel adventure of nine months is coming to a close, I am taking a break from my regular posts to reflect on accommodation.  This year, Callum and I have slept in a lot of different places.  We slept in our van for several weeks, we enjoyed free accommodation from friends, acquaintances and family … More A Glimpse of Our Hostel Experience
