Siem Reap, Cambodia: This morning I got to Vientiane airport early, only to find it was pretty much a shed and there was nowhere to get a decent coffee. And I needed coffee. Badly. After checking my bags in and scoping out the facilities in the domestic terminal (of which there were hardly any, aside … More Day 28 in South East Asia – Hello Cambodia
Hanoi, Vietnam: Last night I took the night bus from Hue to Hanoi. Leaving at 6pm and arriving at 6am, the 12 hour journey was certainly not the longest I’ve ever taken (or will ever take) but it wasn’t the shortest either. With my belly full and my toilet needs more or less seen to … More Day 13 in South East Asia: The Night Bus Zombie
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: Breakfast in the hostel was interesting.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: After being in transit for what felt like an age, three flights and 18 hours later I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City; exhausted, in need of more than two hours interrupted plane sleep, and dying for a hot shower and a massage.

Having stayed … More Things I’ve Learned About Hostels. Part Two.
A week after leaving the delights of hostel life in Brisbane (oh the sarcasm), I’ve found myself looking back, contemplating and yearning for that crowded, smelly, noisy, badly air-conditioned, backpacker platform again (sorry, I can’t help it, it’s the lowest form of wit; sue me). In all seriousness though, I am missing the hostel life … More All About That Bass…Or Should That Be, Base?
Choosing the right hostel is like choosing the perfect wedding dress (I imagine…or maybe not…); you have to read the reviews, take into consideration the location, find out what amenities are on offer, do they have free wifi (so important in this day and age), what the prices are like, whether or not it has … More Things I’ve Learned About Hostels. Part One.
No.1: You will fall in love. This I’m afraid, is inevitable. It might not be ‘real love’, or ‘true love’, or ‘love-at-first-sight love’ but I can assure you, you will definitely fall in love…of some sort. I have fallen in love about eight times so far on my travels, maybe more (and no, I’m not … More Five Things I Learned While Travelling. Part 1.
