This one is obviously a little bit late but you know, life gets in the way / i'm lazy. The final full day included a visit to Devín Castle which was used as a border for the iron curtain until 1989 and blown up by Napoleon's army back when he was alive. Playing dress up…

Bratislava – Day 2
Lots of walking through the historic old town in Bratislava and of course eating. It's such a beautiful and can definitely see why they call it a mini Prague (some sort of Czech Republic geography joke here).
Bratislava – Day 1 (Oh yeah, I’m back)
I've flown a lot (that's not a brag) and I'm still terrified of turbulence. I know I'll be ok but it's hard when you're not in control. Anyway enough of that, you may notice that I'm finally updating this site and it's not because I had a notice that my yearly renewal was up so…
The End
Where do I even begin? That was the most fun and interesting three months of my life. It's super cliche but I know why people do it. I've made so many new friends all around the world and can't wait to visit them in the future although I think the English ones will be the…
Ocean Park
This was it, my last full day of being away before I head back home. It's been a long journey filled with fun, laugher and all the other stuff you do when you're travelling. There will be another summary post later on, probably at the weekend detailing my highlights etc and then this page will…
Hong Kong from above
Going to write a quick update as it's nearly 2am. I seem to make it a habit of staying up late and writing, maybe that's when my best ideas/worst grammar mistakes come out. Today was a scorching hot day so we thought it would be a good idea to walk around outside. The first stop…
Family time
Is there a better way to cross one island to another than a boat? Yeah I know the underground is faster but then you wouldn't see the views below! I wanted to punish my feet again so we walked up a really long escalator, probably the longest in the world. It's not continuous! Could you…
Hongkers
I can't believe I'm on the final part of my trip! What an intense and emotionally challenging 3 months it's been. I have to say I'm looking forward to having access to all my clothes/stuff again (have I said that before? I feel like I have) and of course my little furry boy who will…
Japan tour complete!
So that's another tour done! I've always wanted to go to Japan and it definitely did not disappoint! After another early morning start we were off to the see Bamboo Forest! I'm holding my phone in the second photo as I was video calling my best pal at the time and wanted to include her…
The red torii gates
After an early start we headed to one of the most important shrines in Kyoto, the Fushimi Imari Shrine. It's famous for its thousands of tori gates and leads into a wooded forest trail. A quick train ride led us to the next destination which was the Higashiyama District which is one of Kyoto's best…
