There I was on Mao's tuk tuk driving through Siem Reap just like I did on the 13th January, just 7 months ago and my emotions were flying high. I felt like I was back at my second home. Smiling at the locals who passed us, soaking up the humidity (quite literally) and smelling all those smells that had become so familiar; it was a strange sensation. As we drove past the guesthouse that I stayed in for so long, the roads I walked along and being back with Dave a...

The island for the original Full Moon Party. The island thousands come to; and many limp away from. The island for partying and sunbathing. Stepping onto the beach I was hit by 4 clinics/doctors in the space of 20 meters; just how lively does it get at night I wondered? Well I was sure about to find out!

I've done two bike rides, about one hour each, since I've been here which has bee...

Seeing Big Ben pop up on the screen made me feel a million miles away; which I guess I am. As the ceremony was slowly revealed I imagined and pictured what certain people back home would be saying infront of the T...

I missed Bangkok. Walking down Koh San road didn't look the same without all the water and flour like it was when Will and I walked through when it was their water festival; the hustle and bustle, however, was still surrounding the streets and it felt great! We made the most of our day there with an early start to the famous floating market, an hour and a half away, called Damnem Saduak. We then spent the afternoon chilling with Sam who we had bumped into co-inc...
