Hi everyone!! Well backpacker life has gone up in the world!! My mum and David came out to Singapore and Bintan Island to visit us for a week and we had a superb time together. Singapore was great to explore. A fascinating modern city, with interesting Colonial district and lively Chinatown and Little India. We had some delicious meals out and particularly enjoyed the speciality of the region, Peppered Crab, even if it was very messy!! Highlights w...

Hi there everyone! Hope you're all well and hard at it! We've just has a fabulous few weeks in Laos. With 96% unarable land it makes for incredibly beautiful mountainous scenery everywhere you look, which we fell in love with.

Angkor Wat was innevitably the highlight. 3 days of exploring the many temples by tuk tuk and bike was brilliant. Each one had it's own style and individuality, and we were blown away by both the scale and detail of the area. Rating now as one of the top WT sights. Just amazing!...

Hello everyone Hope you're all doing well. We had an incredible time in Hong Kong, despite being on a shoestring. An amazing city. The skyline is incredible and we found it addictive just watching the sun go down and the lights slowly go on, sitting overlooking the scene from the Peak. Definitely a city for shopping - so many designer shops riddling the place - had to avert our eyes! Daytripped to Stanley beach for the day which was good for a break from t...
