As a total self-confessed foodie, doing street food tours in local areas of places I travel to is one of my favourite things to do.

Hangovers, Street Food & Sky Bars | Bangkok Travel Diary

Bangkok was my very first proper foreign city I travelled to four and a half years ago (I had only been to Australia before) and it absolutely blew my mind.

But Bangkok - it was a full life changing experience. A city bursting with colour, chaos, culture, and energy. It was my first real taste of a world so completely different from my own - and it solidified my passion for travel from the moment I arrived.
