When planning my trip to the Philippines, I had to first decide which island to focus on. I wanted to relax and not hop around and once I learnt about the Tarsier Sanctuary I knew that Bohol was the right choice for me. Tarsiers Before planning this trip, I’d never heard of tarsiers, which are…
During Harbin’s Ice and Snow Festival, along with the two main locations you can also find a collection of ice sculptures in Zhaolin Park. The park has paths running around the outside and these were all lined with sculptures, along with a few larger ones in some of the larger open areas. There was also…
I’m a huge cat person and so I once I learnt about it, I had to visit Harbin’s Siberian Tiger Park. I saw some posts online about how it was cruel and “gruesome”, but those seemed focused on the “feeding of live animals” which I personally don’t have an issue with. Although I’m not a…
I love snow and ice and so upon discovering Harbin’s Ice and Snow Festival I knew I had to visit it. It was one of the most expensive trips I went on in China but it was definitely worth the cost for such a magical experience. Indeed, I enjoyed the trip so much I would…
If you want to see Pandas in China then the best place to do that is definitely Chengdu which has the Giant Panda research base. However, China is huge and so chances are most people won’t have the time to make it all the way there (or the money). Luckily, you will still be able…

We received a huge list and the one that interested us most was his recommendation of a cafe in Mdina that had “the best cake in Malta”. As we were going to Mdina anyway on our self-planned Game of Thrones tour, we…

While in North Korea, we had the opportunity to try a lot of different dishes such as the famous Pyongyang Cold Noodles. However, the most unique meal I had was that of North Korean Gasoline Clams, also known as Clam Bulgogi. They’ve become more well known thanks to appearing in an episode of Crash Landing…
The Philippines are famous for the opportunity to swim with Whale Sharks. However, due to environmental concerns, I chose not to swim with them in Oslob. There are a lot of concerns about the way things are handled there and the locations that are more ethical were too far away to reach. So, instead, I…
When I returned from North Korea, one of the main questions I received was ‘How easy was it to visit North Korea?’ and ‘Did it take a long time to arrange?’ Despite what people might think, it’s actually surprisingly easy to visit North Korea as a tourist (providing you aren’t South Korean or American). To…
