The Okinawa Prefecture comprises more than 150 islands in the East China Sea between Taiwan and the Japanese mainland and is famous for its tropical climate, stunning beaches, world-class coral reefs and diving, as well as its World…
Bali is a destination that has long been on our radar, and whilst Dan visited long before we met, now that we are living in Australia we are itching to get over there together (we even considered it for our honeymoon, but the Maldives won in the end)! Bali is the perfect destination for us as it combines both adventure and luxury. I’d love to rent a villa in Bali and spent half my holiday exploring the island and half my holiday relaxing in luxury. For a small…
After two UK winters I thought I would never complain about an Australian winter again, turns out I was wrong. There’s nothing like daylight savings ending, a bit of drizzle and winter chill for one to start daydreaming about tropical climates, sunshine and holidays! Whilst we love ski holidays and visiting snowy places, we really don’t enjoy the cold when there is no snow involved and so more often than not end up chasing the summer sun on a winter escape! There are some incredible…

If you’re a regular reader of our blog then you’ll know that last June we got engaged and since we arrived back in Australia a few months ago we’ve been planning like crazy! One of the biggest and most exciting parts for us, other than the wedding is of course our honeymoon! Dan and I have been lucky enough to have travelled extensively and have visited almost 30 countries in the last few years together and so choosing a destination for our honeymoon isn’t the easiest…
Dan and I have both backpacked through six continents in our travels and whilst our style of travel has now shifted more to a flashpacker style, we still occasionally opt to stay in hostels in order to meet other travellers. Having studied International Relations & Politics at University, I have a passion for social justice and always love to hear about organisations that are making a positive impact on their community. We recently heard about Mad Monkey Hostel in Siem Reap, a fun, upmarket, party…
So you want to be the ultimate adventurer, eh? That is great news! What can be more adventurous than flirting with the edge of the world’s highest peaks? The Himalayas, spoken of by the locals with love, beauty and sincere respect, are some of the most dangerous terrain and environment in the world. Think high steep cliffs, low oxygen, tiny paths shared with large working animals, and of course there are the many illnesses that are possible to succumb to— all part of a true…

The compromise that my boyfriend and I were able to find: I wanted luxury, he wanted a tight budget. Well, well, well – we managed to make sure that both of us were satisfied! We were in this beautiful…
