Purifying holy water, Hindu temples, expressive statues, unusual varieties of coffee, local artists and volcanic views, our Balinese lifestyle tour by Alila Ubud resort really covered some ground. We were nearing the end of our trip in Bali where we were testing out Three’s Feel at Home tariff. We had so much to look forward […]
We spent two relaxing nights at Alila Manggis on the east coast of Bali and had the chance to try our hands at a Balinese cookery lesson. It felt a little strange to not have to brace yourself for leaving an airport, with all the hassles of trying to figure out the local transport system […]
I’ve only just got back from beautiful inspiring Bali (I’ve even got a slight tan!). We spent 14 days wandering up the east coast, then to the south and finally stopping in beautiful Ubud. Although I did have a spot of illness on the trip I still managed to get out and about, venturing around […]
Exciting news, on Friday (4th July 2014 – 18th July 2014) night I’m heading to Bali, Indonesia. Or at least setting off on the long journey to get there, it’ll take 36 hours. First stop is a brief overview night stay in Kuala Lumpur where We’ll hopefully visit a few sights and grab some street […]
Over the years I’ve done a lot of travel and plenty of train travel too. I’ve caught sleeper trains in Thailand, Vietnam, long two-day trains in China, scenic trains in New Zealand, even the bamboo railway in Cambodia! It’s a superb way to travel, it enables you to see so much more of a country […]
It’s not often you get to sit all alone, car parked up, beer in hand watching the sun coming down over the ocean at the southernmost point on the Australian mainland. It’s here where you get the chance to get away from it all, to explore, to hike up to stunning expansive panoramic views over […]
Stomping through the deep snow with a sound of crunching under feet, it’s like stamping down on empty cardboard boxes. In the distance a mountain range cuts a jagged silhouette over the horizon with a hazy red sunset lingering over the snow covered mountain tops. The ski slopes are deserted and the sun is well […]
Although we were in Catalunya mainly for the skiing and snowboarding, there was plenty in the way of culture to experience. Our first stop on our itinary was the Vall de Boi (Boi Valley) high up in the Pyrenees, a narrow, steep valley that’s home to the ruins of many Romanesque religious buildings and also […]
I hadn’t been snowboarding for a couple of years so I was determined that another year wouldn’t pass without getting back up to speed. Two years previously I’d spent a week in Chamonix snowboarding and creating content for Expedia. Determined to make the most of the full ski pass we spent most of the week […]
After exploring the Venus Bay area and cruising down quiet country roads, through sleepy little towns I arrived at Venus Bay Eco Retreat. Thankfully the sat nav was spot on this time with locating where I was meant to be heading, as I slowed down I spotted the Eco Retreats large and colourful sign. I […]
This is part two of a series about my time spent on Phillip Island, Victoria Australia. You can read Part One to catch up! So far I’d been visiting some well fed pelicans and attempting to surf the waves on Smiths Beach. Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit As if surfing all morning wasn’t enough excitement […]
When asked what my highlight was from my #melbournetouring trip around Victoria, Australia I found myself making a random comparison between pigeons and penguins. My point being that where I live and where I come from the wildlife really isn’t that exotic but right on your doorstep in Victoria you have some truly incredible wildlife. […]
