    24 Hours in Singapore – The Perfect Layover

    January 1, 2020 / 12 Comments

    Is 24 hours long enough to see everything you want to in Singapore? My recent experience is no. This tiny country packs a punch and I’d recommend spending a couple of days to really soak up its charm. That isn’t to say Singapore isn’t one of the absolute best places to stop over for a night. I was flying to Australia for the first time and it was about to be the longest flight I’d ever taken. And previous readers will know how I feel about long flights. So flying into Brisbane, I had to change planes somewhere. And what a shame it would be to not to step out…

    Dos and Don’ts for Visiting Vietnam

    February 27, 2019 / 1 Comment

    Vietnam is a fantastic country to visit, but there are some dos and don’ts you should know before travelling there. I certainly feel like I learned some lessons along my travels to Vietnam. In last week’s post, I told you all about the dos and don’ts of visiting Sri Lanka. but this trip wasn’t nearly as hard to plan as Vietnam. Even after a lot of research, there were still many lessons to be learned along the way. Here are a few dos and don’ts I wish I’d known before going to Vietnam and some of the things I was glad I researched before I left. Dos and don’ts travelling…

    Hanoi, Vietnam: Best Things to See, Do, and Eat

    November 13, 2018 / 15 Comments

Located in the north of the country, the city is a mix of historic architecture and busy streets, cafes and lakes, with a touch of more modern development seeping in. Like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi is very busy. Because it has an estimated population of nearly 8 million, Hanoi can be overwhelming at times. But whether it was because Hanoi came at the end of our trip and we were more acclimatised to Vietnam at this point than when we stumbled into Ho Chi Minh at 6am a few weeks prior, or there was…
