A day in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

December 4, 2019December 4, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 2 Comments

There seems to be a set route that backpackers do around Malaysia, usually starting in Kuala Lumpur then going to the Cameron Highlands before moving on to Penang and Langkawi. I bumped into so many people along the way that I had met during a previous leg of my journey! The Cameron Highlands is a … Continue reading A day in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

A short travelling update

October 27, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 2 Comments

It’s been a fair while since I shared anything about my travels which I know is quite unlike me. I’ve been on the road now for almost a month and it’s been a real rollercoaster! My first stop was Singapore, followed by two weeks in Australia with Mark, then Mark went home and I continued … Continue reading A short travelling update

My Travelling Adventure Begins

October 1, 2019October 1, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 3 Comments

My bags are packed, I'm at the airport, and I'm doing this. As a result of various circumstances, I have the opportunity to take some time to go travelling and so I'm leaving the UK for the next 3 months to explore more of South East Asia and Australia. I loved our recent travels to … Continue reading My Travelling Adventure Begins

Isles of Scilly: A Day Trip to Tresco

August 29, 2019August 29, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 1 Comment

Tresco is the only island of the Isles of Scilly that is run privately and not by the Duchy of Cornwall. This picturesque island is now leased to the Dorrien-Smith family who are descended from Augustus Smith, once Lord Proprietor of Scilly and a hugely influential figure in the history of the Isles. Arriving on … Continue reading Isles of Scilly: A Day Trip to Tresco

Halong Bay

April 29, 2019April 29, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ Leave a comment

Chances are you’ve seen Halong Bay in photos or films even if you didn’t know where it was. The legend goes that the green pillar-like islands off the coast of Vietnam were formed by descending dragons that formed a wall to protect the people from invasion. Joining a cruise through the bay is a must-do … Continue reading Halong Bay

Hue: Highlights

April 6, 2019April 6, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 1 Comment

Hue, the 19th century Imperial capital and once the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty, was the third destination on our tour through Vietnam. Hue might not be as big and as popular as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, but it has just as much if not even more history and some incredible food. It … Continue reading Hue: Highlights

Hoi An: Highlights

April 3, 2019April 3, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 2 Comments

The old port town of Hoi An in Central Vietnam is celebrated for its bright, yellow old town and the colourful lanterns that decorate almost every building in the town. I’d heard Hoi An compared to Luang Prabang, Laos which I absolutely fell in love with during our time there last year for its amazing … Continue reading Hoi An: Highlights

Ho Chi Minh City: Highlights

March 31, 2019March 31, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ Leave a comment

The buzzing capital of Vietnam certainly meets expectations where hustle and bustle and motorbikes are concerned. But Ho Chi Minh City (or HCMC) is more than the rumble of motorbike engines - there's a fair amount of history here, particularly relating to the Vietnam War, and foodie destinations too (more on that here). Here's just … Continue reading Ho Chi Minh City: Highlights

Ho Chi Minh City: Food & Drink

March 27, 2019March 27, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ 1 Comment

Ho Chi Minh City - conveniently abbreviated to HCMC and still often referred to as Saigon AND importantly the home of the banh mi (Vietnamese baguette). HCMC was the first stage of our journey through Vietnam and a great place to delve straight into the food scene! Here's a few of the highlights. PropagandaNot far … Continue reading Ho Chi Minh City: Food & Drink

Skiing in Auron, France

February 13, 2019February 13, 2019 ~ lizibeevor ~ Leave a comment

My husband, Mark, and I LOVE a bit of skiing. Since my first trip to learn for a weekend in Garmisch Partenkirchen two years ago I've been keen to go as much as we can afford, both in terms of time as well as money. Last year we had an incredible week in Méribel, France, … Continue reading Skiing in Auron, France
