I don’t want to have regrets but I can’t stop thinking about how I didn’t go to Lopburi. My bucket list item, Lopburi. My listed in ‘Thailand, Regrets and Returning’, Lopburi. It seems that after nearly six months, my lethargy and apathy towards exploration has well and truly struck me and even bucket list items … More Craving Routine
My time in Laos was fleeting and a mixed bag of laughter, lush people, loneliness and bad luck. Flying into Luang Prabang potentially ruined the rest of Laos for me; I loved it. There was culture, there were other travellers, I could party by night and explore by day, it was SO CLEAN (a rare … More Laosy Luck

You would think spending time on beaches and everyday with your legs … More Female travel problems
