With April ending I am now halfway done with my planned four month trip. Half. Way. Done. I can’t believe it. I’ve been doing so well keeping my FOMO in check, not really planning and just going with the flow, but now I’m starting to panic. Have I done enough? Have I been able to [...]

With only 2.5 days to visit, an illness, and the fact that it’s such a small country, it’s already time to wrap up Singapore. I’m still a little disappointed I didn’t get to experience Singapore at my healthiest (I still want to try chili crab!) but I enjoyed myself nonethless and hope to make it [...]

This post isn’t going to be quite as long as thought it would’ve been. When I planned a trip to Singapore I imagined 2 days of pure gluttony, moving from hawker center to restaurant to hawker center in search of the city’s best eats. What transpired was quite different. With even the thought of food [...]

On my last day in Manila I woke up with the chills, body aches, nausea, and a general hatred of my body for failing me at such an important time. I had important plans. Plans that involved eating my way around Manila (and hopefully trying a balut egg) that day and then eating my way around [...]

Almost exactly a month after leaving the country, I am finally getting around to wrapping up my posts about the Philippines. It was an exciting way to begin this four month trip, with beaches, island hopping, and a new cuisine to explore. In two weeks, though, I barely began to scratch the surface of this [...]

When Old Manila Walks tour leader Ivan said that the day’s tour would be a history lesson through food, I knew I was in the right place. I’m a bit of a history nerd (it’s what I have my useless BA in) and I obviously love to eat. We met Ivan in the lobby of [...]
When it comes to holidays, people often talk about ‘escapism’. To find it, they’ll regularly travel to the far corners of the globe. Yet leaving the ordinary and the everyday far behind can start or end much closer to home: in Southampton, on a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean on an iconic ocean liner. It’s [...]

Now that I’m on the road and the start of the month also coincides with the monthly anniversary of my travels I’m going to change to wrap ups a little to include some more about what I’ve been up to in addition to my favorite posts from the month. I can’t believe I am one [...]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’m currently in the Perhentian Islands where there’s no internet! While I’m away take a look at this guest post about dining in the Caribbean, one of my favorite vacation spots on the world. Caribbean cuisine is recognised all around the world, in part for its vibrant colours, distinct [...]

There was one reason I wanted to come to the Philippines. El Nido. Located on Palawan, one of the least developed of the major islands in the Philippines, I’d only heard fabulous reviews about this beach town. Island hopping in turquoise waters, unspoiled beaches, and the world’s last frontier were just some of the things [...]
