Year round-up & 2017 Travel blog goals!

This year- as usual, has flown by in the blink of an eye and boy has it been a good one!
(Aside from all of the celebrity deaths- let's not even go there).
I thought it would be a nice way to finish up by having a look through and doing a quick summary of my year and some of the things I got up to.

As well as reading this blog post I made a YouTube video of my 2016 extras and highlights which you can watch here if you're interested:

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Travel Diary

I recently returned from an incredible two weeks in Vietnam and this is the first of my travel diaries. Here is my second one from Hanoi which includes thoughts and reflections from my time in Vietnam, and Halong Bay will be coming very soon.
My travel diaries share a basic overview of what I did each day including particular highlights, prices and any good tips I discovered, as well as my favourite photos from the day! Here is Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon), as that was the first stop:

Ho Chi Minh City is in the south of Vietnam

Rarotonga Travel Diary in pictures

Hey all,

Unfortunately with such a small window between the Cook Islands and my next trip to Vietnam (tomorrow morning), I just haven't had the time to write up my promised Rarotonga Travel Diary. 

I do however have many notes from my trip so I will be editing this post in the future into the proper intended travel diary, much like my last one from Bali. For now- here is my week in Rarotonga in pictures!

I have had time to write my previous post: Best Places to eat in Muri, Rarotonga and make my travel vlog for YouTube which you can watch here if you're interested:

Best Places to eat in Muri, Rarotonga

I’m back, freshly married and glowing from an unforgettable week in Rarotonga - and I couldn’t wait to start writing again! Along with a travel diary and hotel review, one thing I especially wanted to dive into was… the food!

I’m officially kicking off a new category on the blog: ‘Food’ / ‘Best Places to Eat’ - because I’m a total foodie, and I always love discovering new spots through other people’s recommendations.

Since I was a bit caught up in wedding prep most of the time, I mainly ate around Muri, where we were staying - but honestly, I was more than happy with that. Every single meal blew me away. The flavours, the freshness, the heart that went into each dish - it was all incredible.
