Day 63 in South East Asia – And Now, The End is Near…

August 19, 2017

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…

Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

August 16, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; I naively thought (because I’m so young in my years), that Golden Showers were what pornographic dreams were made of. Some people find it a turn on. Some people find it sexy. Not me. I find it pretty repulsive. And as it turns out, Golden Showers are actually not what pornographic dreams … More Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

Day 52 in South East Asia – Sunshine on a Rainy Day???

August 6, 2017

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Last night I was kept awake by the pitter patter of rain on Gusti’s roof (and by Serbia’s snoring). This morning I awoke to the pitter patter of rain on Gusti’s roof (Serbia was still snoring). And to my dismay, neither of them stopped. Now, I could’ve used the rain to my … More Day 52 in South East Asia – Sunshine on a Rainy Day???

Day 51 in South East Asia – Bali, You Need To Up Your Weather Game

August 6, 2017

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Today I went to my first yoga class of this Bali trip at a place called Jungle Room. Situated in the luscious green surroundings of Canggu, with views of the jungle river and forest at every turn, Jungle Room is not just a yoga studio, it’s an Air BnB property too. And … More Day 51 in South East Asia – Bali, You Need To Up Your Weather Game

Day 50 in South East Asia – Bali, I’m Back!

August 5, 2017

Somewhere between Seminyak and Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; I arrived in Bali late last night, the airport taxi queue was just as I remembered – long, busy, chaotic. The number of drivers waiting for pick-ups was absurd, and the queues for the cash machines even worse. I didn’t care so much though, in fact, I didn’t … More Day 50 in South East Asia – Bali, I’m Back!

Day 48 – Leaving Happyland and Leaving Cambodia – Taking Only Memories.

August 3, 2017

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.

Day 47 in SE Asia – Happiness at Happyland – It’s All About The Kids

August 2, 2017

Takeo Province, Cambodia; Today was my last full day at Happyland. However, I woke in a foul mood – not being sure whether it was a bad case of PMS, the fact I was missing the feeling of being clean, and being able to use a toilet without pissing on myself; the fact I wanted … More Day 47 in SE Asia – Happiness at Happyland – It’s All About The Kids

Day 46 in SE Asia – Distancing Myself to Prevent Inevitable Hurt

August 2, 2017

Takeo Province, Cambodia; Even though today we technically had another day off, Gold Coast and I spent some time sorting through the storage room. The amount of donated materials and leftover ‘stuff’ we found in there was frustrating, and frankly sickening. We found hundreds of toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste…lots of medication and surgical instruments…spare … More Day 46 in SE Asia – Distancing Myself to Prevent Inevitable Hurt

Day 43 in South East Asia – Everything is Better When The Sun Shines

July 30, 2017

Takeo Province, Cambodia; It was a bit of a slower day today. Not many children came to Happyland which was a puzzlement as the sun was shining and the roads were dry (I burnt my face after ten minutes of sitting out at the wifi cafe…typical). However, the quietness was kind of a nice reprieve. … More Day 43 in South East Asia – Everything is Better When The Sun Shines
