Magnetic Island

The day after the Whitsundays was a bit of a washout; we drove around hunting for crocs but to no avail. We would have had more luck if we had paid for a tour but we didn’t want to do that, so instead we drove to Townsville. We parked at a BP truck stop overnight

The Whitsundays

We arrived at Airlie Beach after reading great reviews of the place, but in all honesty when we arrived we weren’t impressed. The beach was very small, didn’t smell all that good and the views weren’t all that great either. The beach was very stoney and muddy and so taking a dip in the sea

Brisbane – Australia

Our first stop in Brissy includes chilling on the Southbank, beer and laughs with a friend from home, sleeping in a random guys spare room, travelling through what felt like the season finale of Shameless and a broken nose. On arrival in South Brisbane Station, our first thought was to go for food. Rucksacks in

The Gold Coast (Coolangatta) – Australia

After a monster of a bus journey to Phuket, a horrendously long wait at Phuket airport, a 13 hour layover at Kuala Lumpur and a 10 hour flight, our body clocks no longer had any idea of what was going on. On the flip side, we landed in Australia at 9:25am on 24th September 2019.

The Island of Koh Samui – Thailand

In order to get to Koh Samui, Scott and I had to catch a Seatran Ferry from Surat Thani which we booked through 12Go Asia. We arrived at the Seatran office bright and early, were given stickers to wear to show our destination, and then boarded the minibus which took us to the port. After

Chiang Mai – Thailand

Here is where we truly immersed ourselves in true Thai culture with plenty of sightseeing, beautiful sunshine (inbetween torrential downpours), great food and even better company. We stayed for 5 days in Chiang Mai and really made the most of it, so prepare for a long read. 5 days, may I add, just isn’t enough

Bangkok – Thailand

Scott and I were travelling to Thailand from Shanghai, China. We were so, so excited to start the next leg of our journey and we were looking forward to having a bit more of a rest. China was fantastic, but it was tough going sometimes on the trip with it being so full on and

The Dragon Trip – Shanghai

After a lovely nap on the bullet train, we arrived at Shanghai Train Station where our next tour guide Becky was waiting for us. Using the subway system, we travelled to The Phoenix Hostel, located approximately 20 minutes walking distance from the Bund. There are laws in Shanghai which don’t allow men and women to

The Dragon Trip – Hangzhou

After being given our train tickets, we said our goodbyes to our Beijing tour guide, Suzie. She was absolutely fantastic, a credit to the The Dragon Trip. It was now time to embark on the next leg of the trip, to Hangzhou! We took an overnight sleeper train and in comparison to the train journeys

The Great Wall of China

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. This was probably the second. We had a feeling that day 1 of the dragon trip for us was going to be epic, but we didn’t realise quite how epic it would actually be. In order for our tour group to gain access to an
