Best Places to Eat & Drink near Seminyak, Bali


One of my absolute favourite things about exploring a new country and culture is trying the local cuisine. I've had the pleasure of visiting Indonesia's most popular island twice (and will be going back for the third time in May) and I can't get enough of the rich and bold flavours of Indonesian food.

I've previously written a Bali Travel Guide & Tips post if you're heading there for the first time yourself and would like more information on Bali.

This post is specific to places near Seminyak as that is where I have spent the most time and where the majority of my favourites happen to be. I have only spent two full days in Ubud and less than that in the Canggu, Uluwatu and Nusa Dua areas.

Hotel & Wedding Destination Review: Pacific Resort Rarotonga


I can't believe it has already been three months since I got married in Rarotonga! The time certainly has flown by, I can imagine it will be one year before I know it.

It was about time I wrote about the wonderful Pacific Resort, who made our wedding day and the months leading up to it such a breeze, as they took care of absolutely everything.

The communication, special touches and their experience all made them the perfect choice as a wedding venue (as well as a fabulous resort to stay at) and I couldn't recommend them more if you are looking at having a tropical destination wedding yourself.
It really was the ultimate dream wedding location and my now husband and I couldn't be happier that we chose to have it with them.

Halong Bay | Bhaya Cruise Review

Halong Bay had been on my travel wish list for as long as I can remember - so when we chose it as a stop on our honeymoon, my expectations were sky-high. And you know what? It not only lived up to them - it exceeded every single one.

It was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been. The entire UNESCO World Heritage Site felt ancient, majestic and impossibly beautiful. I couldn’t take my eyes off the towering limestone islands rising out of the water, each one topped with lush green rainforest. Cruising through the still, emerald waters was completely surreal - so peaceful and calming, and exactly what we needed after the wedding buzz.

If you are thinking about going on an exchange- go for it! Here are five reasons why you should along with snippets of my own experience.
