I have not made a secret of the fact that I have not enjoyed my time here in Bali. The country is suffering from over tourism, more than any other place I have visited. I was shocked by what I saw upon first arrival, the frustration I could see on the faces of the locals …

Oh man, I knew without a doubt, I was going to blow my budget once I arrived in Japan. Not only do I have to replenish my wardrobe and toiletries, that have been with me for the past 16 months, but there are so many things I want to eat! Tasting Japanese street food for …
I don’t usually write posts like this, but after spending a few weeks exploring this area and these towns, I just can’t get this off my mind. Try as I might I am struggling to find beauty here in the towns. Phuket has an undercurrent of sleaze, and although its arguably at its worst in …

One of the reasons I am staying away from the tourist district for a couple of weeks, is that I’m taking care of chores. When you are travelling for as long as I am, things like teeth cleaning, picking up medications and purchasing basics all need taken care of along the way. Today I was …

As a budget traveller I don’t eat out very often. This is perhaps one of the biggest downfalls for me whilst travelling on a budget. In order to sample the local food, I purchase things from markets, and pick up local snacks. I can bring these treats home and supplement them with fresh veg and …
On the topic of accommodation again, I want to jot down some information about what I learned after booking my Airbnb rental in Rome. In a previous post, I listed the 5 features that I look for when renting a flat in a new destination. Because of the high costs of Rome, I was unable …
