Luggage List: Packing for Hong Kong

Luggage List: Packing for Hong Kong

Dated: February 3, 2020

I love packing for Hong Kong. It is a place that I will never tire of visiting; with its vibrant city and stunning islands, it just keeps drawing me back again and again. Of course, I have family there, so that helps too. I have completely lost count of the number of times I’ve visited Hong Kong, and I know… Read More

Your guide to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Your guide to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Dated: January 27, 2020

Often described as one of the best day hikes in New Zealand, Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a must for avid hikers. It is a long, challenging hike through a dramatic volcanic landscape and it takes around 7-8 hours to complete. The track is 19.4km long, which doesn’t seem too difficult at first glance. But with steep climbs up to 1886m… Read More

Dated: January 6, 2020

Kaikoura is a lovely little town on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Many people visit the area for its abundance of marine life and opportunities to see whales, dolphins, seals and more. It is also a beautiful area, where huge snow-capped mountains plunge almost directly into the ocean, and the grey pebble beaches hide shining… Read More

6+ Reasons to add Samoa to your bucket list

6+ Reasons to add Samoa to your bucket list

Dated: December 30, 2019

When you think of the Pacific Islands, you most likely think of Hawaii, Fiji or Bora Bora first before Samoa, Tonga or Vanuatu. But the more underrated islands in the Pacific Ocean have less tourists and all of the beauty. It’s definitely worth adding at least one of them to your bucket list! Samoa is located just under halfway between… Read More

Rocky Mountain: Wanaka’s short but rewarding hike

Rocky Mountain: Wanaka’s short but rewarding hike

Dated: December 16, 2019

3 hour return There are many impressive hiking opportunities around Wanaka. Its stunning location means that you are spoiled for views everywhere you go. But, if you’re looking for a walk that has all of the reward for less of the effort, I highly recommend Rocky Mountain’s summit track. The track starts at Diamond Lake Conservation Area car park, 18.5km… Read More

Dated: November 25, 2019

2 hours return If you’re anything like me, after spending some time in a city you’d like to get back out into nature and do some hiking.

Bokor Mountain: Kampot’s eerie tourist destination

Bokor Mountain: Kampot’s eerie tourist destination

Dated: November 18, 2019

If you’re visiting Kampot, Bokor Mountain is a must-visit. Originally built as a French colonial hill station, it was later abandoned (twice) and is now slowly being renovated as a tourist destination with new hotels and casinos.
