Thailand
Read More: Thailand7 – 21 November 2023 With our time in Cambodia over, we boarded another minivan to cross the border into Thailand.

Da Nang – Hoi An, Vietnam

Karijini National Park
Read More: Karijini National Park4-11 August 2023 Well, what can I say, this last week has been incredible. Karijini certainly lived up to it’s hype with many hikes (some more challenging than others), spectacular views and super cold water holes to swim in.

80 Mile Beach – Whim Creek
Read More: 80 Mile Beach – Whim Creek2 – 12 July 2023 The last few weeks have been a little out of sorts for us. We changed our plans and ended up at places we thought we wouldn’t. It is all apart of the trip though, being flexible and spontaneous is something we don’t stress or worry about too much. Now where…
