3 Days in the upmarket Seminyak Bali Change of plan Those of you who read my blog on Penang, will know that my friend and I had been to the Perhentian Islands and Penang in Malaysia. Our intention was to the continue to the Cameron Highlands and Tamen Negra. Unfortunately, the weather was forecast to be thunderstorms for at least a week. In search of the sun, we booked a last-minute flight to Bali. We flew from Penang to Denpasar via Singapore as this was significantly cheaper. If we had ... View the Post
3 Days in Penang
3 Days in the city of Penang Travel to George Town We travelled to Penang from the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia, and after 5 days of island life we were super excited to be in a city again. We arranged a taxi from Penang airport to George Town at the counter within the airport. The price agreed was reasonable at £10 for a 19km journey. There was a fair amount of traffic between the airport and George town so the journey which should have taken around 30 minutes actually took nearer ... View the Post
PADI Open water dive course with Panorma in the Perhentians
PADI Open water dive course Day 1: I ended the last blog saying that we went to bed content there was nothing that was going to eat us during our sleep… how wrong I was! Despite spraying a s**t tone of deet and sleeping in a mosquito net the little buggers had a right feast on us. We again sprayed more deet, applied cream and went to get breakfast determined not to let it dampen our spirits. We had breakfast at the restaurant attached to our accommodation, it was an all you can eat type ... View the Post
First Stop: getting to the Perhentian Islands
First Stop: Perhentian Islands The countdown was finally over, it was the day before I was due to fly and I had packed and repacked my luggage at least 3 times worrying that I had forgotten something critical. I am not ready to admit that my jittery state was because of the one to many drinks I consumed the night before at my leaving drinks, but there is a high chance it could have been. Thanks to all those that came by the way and for all my gifts and decorations! It was lovely to see ... View the Post
Preparation for my travels!
Preparation for my travels Preparing for travels seemed very daunting to me. As someone who LOVES to be organised and writes lists for everything possible the concept of not really planning was a weird one. It may just be me, but there is something satisfying about ticking things off the list (like I have achieved something)! But early on in my travel planning I decided that I was going to go with the flow, embrace the spontaneity and see where my travels took me as much as I ... View the Post
My backpacking route- 6 months on the road!
MY ROUTE Where to go? For me deciding where to go was a BIG job, mainly because there are so many places I wanted to go! Up until the age of 17, I had only actually left the UK once, and that was for my uncles wedding so it didn't really count (sorry Phil!). From school I went straight to college and worked through any holidays I had, then from college onto full time work with studying alongside (god I sound boring). This meant my opportunity to travel was limited, and hence the list of ... View the Post
