It’s been approximately 140 days since I returned from my travels. And it’s been approximately 135 days since I last blogged about anything of significance in my tumultuous nomadic lifestyle. And in those 135 days, despite not travelling more than a few 100 miles from my front door, a lot has happened. I’ve returned home … More Day 206 and I’m not in South East Asia anymore
And the pain inside stabs and stings at you every day. Not because of lies and deceit, but because of distance and circumstance. You know in time that the pain will heal; in these moments though, the hurting is too much for you to bear. You want to part the seas and run across lands … More Love Was Only He
Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Today, dear readers, was my last day in Ubud, my last day in Bali, and the last official day of my travels in South East Asia and the end of an incredible 13 months away from home. I hadn’t really had chance to think about the end of my trip (mainly because … More Day 63 in South East Asia – And Now, The End is Near…
Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Today was my final full day in Cambodia; my last in Mainland South East Asia, and the end of an incredible seven weeks travelling – visiting places I never thought I’d get the chance to go to; seeing things I felt lucky to have seen; experiencing things not many people get to … More Day 48 – Leaving Happyland and Leaving Cambodia – Taking Only Memories.
Kampot to Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Starting on Monday I’m due to partake in a volunteer program helping some of Cambodia’s disadvantaged kids (something I’ve been very much looking forward to since I signed up for it while in Vietnam). This will last for a week, and once I’ve finished I’ll be heading to Bali for … More Day 38 in South East Asia – Over These Buses!
I never wanted to fall like this, I never wanted to cry; Tears for happiness that’s so far away, tears for you and I. Your presence makes me feel so safe, your eyes I could swim in for days; The way you smile, the way you talk, the way you constantly amaze. I only ever … More A Brief Interlude…
Siem Reap and Kampot, Cambodia: Before I write about my trip to Angkor Wat on day 30, I’m skipping forward, as I feel I need to share with you the struggles of the last few days, mainly because the taste is still bittersweet and the feelings evoked on days 31 and 32 are still raw; … More Days 31 and 32 in South East Asia – It’s Not Always Sunshine and Lollipops
Siem Reap, Cambodia: Last night I really let my hair down by drinking two wines and two beers! This morning, naturally, I felt hungover. No, actually, that’s a bit of a lie; I didn’t feel hungover, I felt a little groggy. There’s a difference (but not by much). Anyway, my new lightweight drinking status had … More And On The 29th Day, She Rested
Vientiane, Laos: My last full day in Laos was spent getting some cultural internalisation. And what I really mean by that, is taking photos of a shit tonne of Buddahs, visiting a museum, and drinking Beer Lao with an old friend. The day started well – the sun was shining, I had a spring in … More Day 27 in South East Asia – Seeya Laos, You’ve Been A Lot More Than I Bargained For!
Vang Vieng, Laos: The rain is relentless. RELENTLESS. When I went to bed last night, in my comfy little bungalow, views of the mountains in the background, my mind peaceful and at ease, the rain was heavy. And it did not stop. Not once. I went to sleep with the sound of pounding rain drops … More Day 24 in South East Asia – Raining On My Parade
