Best Food in Town!
Our favourite food in town is found in a busy, brightly light restaurant furnished with tin tables and a distinct lack of walls. If you’ve ever visited us, you’ve almost definitely eaten here at least one.   It doesn’t look fancy but it’s well known in Nakhon Sawan for it’s […]

Here in Nakhon Sawan: What we eat….

Mulu National Park is a World Heritage Area and it’s not hard to see why. Isolated in the dense rainforest of Sarawak, Borneo, it is home to huge cave systems, dramatic limestone structures and a whole host of wildlife. Here’s a video of what we got up to and what I […]

Vlog from the Rainforest!


Walking above the Borneo jungle!
  We touched down at Mulu airport less than 24 hours after completing our descent from the peak of Mt. Kinabalu. Our legs were creaking with every step as we shuffled off the tiny plane onto the equally tiny runway. It’s basically a bumpy stretch of tarmac in the middle of […]

Climbing Mt. Kinabalu
About six months ago, we were sat in a cute little cafe in Varanasi.Sick of curry and growing tired of the noise and chaos of India, we used a rare afternoon of decent wifi and coffee to think abut our next trip.   Borneo had been on our list for […]

Climbing Mt. Kinabalu
It was slow. It was hard. It was COLD. Almost every step we took was up. But with encouragement from each other and our guide we made it to the top of Mt.Kinabalu. At 4.52am and -1°C it was pitch black, cloudy and windy. As happy as I was to get […]

My favourite Indian street food
Living in Thailand we have got very used to being able to pick up snacks and meals on the street. In place of highstreets there are street markets and that suits me just fine!  India was all that and more; on buses and trains, people would pile on at every stop and walk […]

Here in Varanasi
    We arrived in Varanasi after a week in the mountains and a 22 hour train journey. It was five weeks into our India trip.   We were tired. Tired of travelling on a tight budget, tired of sleeping in depressing rooms, and tired of eating curry for almost every meal. […]

A trip to the top of Thailand
  Because Thailand has a wonderful amount of national holidays, we recently enjoyed a five day weekend. I’m not really sure you can still call it a weekend when you only work for two days of the week but whatever it was, it was much appreciated.   We wanted to […]

Trying to Thai dance...
Nearly a year ago now, our school’s Director retired. There was to be a big party to say goodbye and we, the foreign teachers, were asked to perform a dance. Normally we refuse these things to avoid embarrassing ourselves but we are big fans of this guy so we agreed.   […]

What we ate in Chiang Mai...
We love Thai food and eat it every day. When we came back from six weeks in India, all I wanted was a Yam Khai Dao with plenty of lime and chilli. But living somewhere where the variety of international cuisines is pretty limited, we find ourselves craving our westerns favourites […]

Trekking in India
  Despite the circumstances surrounding it, the Poon Hill Trek was a highlight of our 8 week holiday last year and we were both keen to do something similar again. So when we were planning our trip to North India, we couldn’t resist another venture into the Himalayas.   We […]

Adh Kumbh Mela
  You probably haven’t heard of Haridwar but anyone who has seen Karl Pilkington’s ‘An Idiot Abroad’ will remember his obsession with the ‘babas’ at a big Hindu festival. That was the Haridwar Kumbh Mela which is a mass Hindu pilgrimage to bathe in the sacred Ganges and is one […]
