I managed get up at 05:30 to watch the sunrise which was a tranquil experience. Even though it was overcast, the view was beautiful. annoyingly, I can’t post my photo of it- explained later. My 2 roommates left today which I’m quite happy about since I won’t have to tip toe around if one is asleep Read More …

Koh Yao Noi | 6 day Yoga Retreat | Day 1-2
After Ian left and I became a solo traveller, I got quite apprehensive about being alone and not enjoying myself. I booked myself on to a 6 day yoga retreat on Koh Yao Noi to have some structured relaxation. So far, it’s easing my apprehension. Getting to the island (Koh Yao Noi) was a little Read More …
Thailand | Travelling Solo
Ian and I spent our last few days together in Bangkok in luxury with our own apartment, a beautiful pool on the 8th story, a gym, a spa and library room. He left this morning and I flew to Krabi, checked in to my single, bunk-bed mixed dorm room and already I feel very alone. I Read More …

Thailand | Krabi & Railay Beach

Thailand | Koh Tao
We booked an overnight train for ~£20 each to Chumphon from Bangkok, arriving at 4am to transfer to a bus then ferry to Koh Tao- exhausting! Koh Tao is just the right size with a mixture of touristy shops and café’s along with street food and side stalls. One thing that surprised me was the Read More …
