As former backpackers, we are used to adapting to all sorts of things. We can sleep in trains, we can do volunteer jobs and we can eat street foods if we don’t have enough budget. Simply put, Kach and I are flexible. So when Kach had some challenges with her visa, we decided to ‘overhaul’ our honeymoon plans. Two Monkeys …
Ever since I started dreaming of travelling the world, there have been a small number of places that lived at the top of my mental list of, ‘places I have to see before I die!’ Over the past four years I have been slowly checking places off that list, one-by-one; Machu Picchu, the plains of Africa, the temples of India, …
Norway is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It could bless you with its charm all year round. Depending on what season you’ll visit, you’ll find it nothing less than extraordinary. Aside from the flowers in full bloom, Spring promises a time of celebration and a month of festivities during the Norwegian National Day on May the …
Gentle wind in your hair, the sun warming your face, charming islets dot the sea ahead as your boat cleaves through it. Welcome to the Middle East. The region, with sublime views spread all over and mild water to match, is the undiscovered gem for sailing spots. Geographically, it fits snuggly between several major bodies of water, including the firm …
There are so many ways to travel around Europe and no doubt you’ve tried some of them already. You can take cheap flights, take the trains or even hire your own car. There are some who would even cross oceans, but there’s another way you can tour around Europe, which is far more relaxing and perhaps even more immersive than all of the others. Two …
On a river cruise, you’ll find yourself on board, off-board, in hotels, in cities and perhaps even in more rustic settings depending on your trip. When packing for this unique type of experience, as offered by travel operators such as Imagine Cruising, it’s important to keep in mind the changing environment and to err on the side of practicality at …
It has been our ultimate travel dream to see Antarctica together ever since we started our joint adventure almost four years ago. There are many reasons why we’ve always wanted to go there; the remoteness, the wilderness, the barely-touched landscapes and the fact that Antarctica does such an amazing job of repelling humans! It is also the 7th continent of …
A few months ago, Jonathan and Jonny had a Mancation experience with Costa Cruises and it was pretty obvious that they had a lot of fun. Check out their photos in Costa Diadema during their western Mediterranean experience to get a glimpse of the amazing ship. And because he couldn’t get enough of it, he decided to research further on …
What are you thinking of when you picture your Antarctica cruise? Pure wilderness, spectacular landscapes, a true sense of adventure and that same intense allure of the unknown that has drawn explorers here for almost 200 years. While the unknown is a huge part of what makes taking a cruise to Antarctica so exciting, one thing you know for certain …
Most of our readers and especially those who have been with us since the beginning of our journey will know that it has long been our ultimate travel dream to take an Antarctica cruise. Finally, after more than two years of hard work travel blogging, that dream is coming true. We are going to spend 16 days of our 365-day honeymoon …
For years, Kach and I have been traveling together. While I’ve loved every bit of our journey, I have to say that a little time apart is healthy in any relationship. You can use the time to do the things that you can’t do when with your partner, which is also ideal for personal development. So, that’s what I exactly …
Travel with Fred and you need never be lonely. It can be a challenge for some people who live alone and want to go on holiday but, for one reason or another, find themselves without a friend or partner to travel with. Women, particularly, may be apprehensive and concerned about safety, if they’re in the older age group and haven’t …
It was my second time in Bagan, and I was thrilled to revisit this magical place which is one of the places I visited as a solo traveller years ago. Bagan is truly a picturesque town and photographer’s haven. This time, I’m back for my first river cruise experience at the historic Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River with The Strand Cruise for five days and …
For the past three years Kach has been pushing for us to go on a cruise, and for the past three years I have refused. I love the sea, I love sailing, I love water sports and I love being out on the open water, but for some reason I never felt that I would enjoy being on a cruise, …
We’ve always been talking a lot about our travel dreams but how about our long term plans? Our wedding planning has made us think more about the future and where we want to live long-term. Jonathan and I want to have our own boat and live on an island while running our yoga and Ayurveda resort and raising our little …
