It’s a view every tourist to Thailand has at least once. Tuk-tuks are ubiquitous, loud, fun, annoying and a crucial part of any visit to Southeast Asia. Nick snapped this photo on our first day in Bangkok and it really epitomizes our trip to the city for me.
I have officially finished planning my big family trip to Ireland! Nine people for one week on a whirlwind tour at the end of August, then another two weeks with just my parents. It’s going to be a crazy fun time!
I’ve obviously had to think about Ireland’s highlights a lot while planning this trip, so I thought I’d share the reasons why I love returning here again and again (this will be my fourth visit in the Emerald Isle).
Every visitor to New Zealand’s South Island aims to make it to Bluff and its famous signpost, which is pretty darn cool:
We had a lot of fun on land and sea in Barbados. Cave swimming, fish frying and laying on the beach were all fantastic – but nothing can beat snorkeling with sea turtles! These gentle creatures congregate close to shore off the West Coast of the island. Hire a kayak or grab a boat out to their favorite spot and hop in! If you’re lucky you may even be able to get close enough to “pet” one of these guys.
You know those people who never shut up about how incredible New Zealand is? I’ve definitely turned into one of them.
I’ll need a hundred posts to tell you about all the wonderful views, hikes, Hobbits and food I’ve had in the last three months (stay tuned!). But, in the interest of perspective, I thought I’d let you know that it isn’t all sunshine and roses down here.
Though they do have a lot of both.
