    BySarah May 12, 2020September 12, 2023

    I love visiting museums, especially more unique ones, and so I had to include a visit to the Devil’s Museum in Kaunas.

    Swimming in Hinagdanan Cave

    BySarah March 18, 2020January 15, 2021

    Although the Philippines is full of amazing beaches to relax and swim on, my favourite swimming spot was Hinagdanan Cave. Located on the North side of Panglao island, it’s a perfect place to add to your itinerary. It’s not a large cave, but it’s beautiful and the water is very refreshing and cool which is…

    In Luang Prabang, there is the opportunity to listen to some traditional Lao storytelling and I cannot recommend it enough! Aside from travelling, my biggest interest is definitely reading. I love fiction, and I especially love reading books set in the countries I visit. Traditional stories are so important due to their important role in…

    Ha Long Bay is one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam, so there are plenty of companies offering tours, making it difficult to figure out how to get a good but cheap Ha Long Bay cruise.

    BySarah February 17, 2020September 12, 2022

    Now, I like to consider myself a fairly savvy traveller. I pay attention to my belongings, I take safety precautions and I read up on local scams to stay safe and vigilant. Despite this, my sister and I almost fell for the shoe cleaning scam in Hanoi. Luckily, we didn’t lose any money but it…

    Visiting the Bohol Tarsier Sanctuary

    BySarah November 2, 2019February 23, 2020

    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…

    Harbin’s Siberian Tiger Park

    BySarah August 14, 2019November 2, 2019

    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…
