We returned to Bali after 9 years, looking for new adventures and new memories. One week isn't a long time, but we managed to hit the beaches and the mountains for an unforgettable, action-packed holiday.

While stuck in Southeast Asia (thanks COVID-19), I decided to make the most of my time abroad and explore regions of Northern Thailand and Southern Cambodia that I hadn't seen before.

My hiking adventures on the islands of Hong Kong, exploring both the popular trails and the lesser known secluded routes. 

​

11 days exploring Lombok and Bali, the two most popular islands in Indonesia, hitting the beaches and volcanoes.

The aim was to travel through South East Asia for five weeks, then jump over to Europe for the remainder of the year. We left Australia and headed straight for Thailand. From here it was over to Cambodia, then Vietnam and Laos, before returning to Thailand to fly to London.

An awe-inspiring journey along the relatively new Pikey Peak trail, followed by a failed attempt to Everest Base Camp via the Three Passes Trek.

One month exploring Tanzania, from hiking Mt Kilimanjaro, to driving across animal-filled plains, and relaxing on almost-deserted beaches.

Three weeks in Nepal to tackle the 200km long Annapurna Circuit Trek, reaching an elevation of 5416m, as well the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek and the Mardi Himal Trek.

Our 11-day journey through Peninsula Malaysia. We started in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, before heading up to the hills of the Cameron Highlands. Next, it was over to foodie capital Penang, and lastly relaxing on the island of Langkawi. 

A review of the travel and adventure books I have read so far, inspiring some of my trips around the world.

An 11-day adventure through Southeast Asia's newest country, Timor-Leste (East Timor). From hiking to beaches to stunning sunrises, I was surprised by how much I could achieve in the most untouristy country I had ever visited.

Eight days hiking the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea, following in the footsteps of the Australian soldiers as they fought against the formidable Japanese Army during World War II.

​

Six months, 16 countries and 2 bulging backpacks. This is the story of our incredible adventure exploring the other side of the world like gap year students, only that we were in our 30s and refused to sleep in dorm rooms.

Part two of our trip of a lifetime. Initially we stayed with family in England while we looked into our transport options. Finally we bit the bullet, bought a campervan and set off across the English Channel. There was no specific plan, no timelines or route to follow, just a general outline that chopped and changed along the way.

A list of the countries I have visited so far. Hopefully this list continues to grow...
