This was a great part of the trip, the snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef and seeing wild Koalas on magnetic Island were real highlights of my travels! We spent 5 weeks in Australia traveling from Cairns to Melbourne, when I've told people the route the reaction I often got was 'standard' but it is... Continue Reading →

Vanilla and Almond Crispy Granola
This recipe is very much a trial and error but that's how I like to bake! My opinion is that, when you're using large amounts of peanut better and honey, there is only so wrong you can go 😛 so for me, cooking/baking aren't an exact science! The ingredients are a bit vague (I forgot... Continue Reading →
Spiced Orange and Carrot Muffins
I had to share this recipe as it got such high praise from my sister, who thinks this is my best recipe yet! This did start out as a way to use up over-ripe bananas, then I found the carrots, and then an orange and ended up with muffins! I also recommend the chocolate topping-... Continue Reading →

Chocolate Carrot Flapjacks
Just another way to get more vegetables and chocolate into your day! Another really quick and easy recipe. I add buckwheat for a bit of crunch but you could replace them with more oats.
Vietnam
After our amazing time in Thailand we got a flight from Chaing Mai to Hanoi. We only spent two weeks in Vietnam, as we got 15 visa exemptions, but could have definitely done longer and there were so many places we wanted to go but didn't have time! We only managed to get 4 stops... Continue Reading →
Chaing Mai
Probably my favourite stop for the trip so far! Loads of activities and more temples than you can count. It was a nice change after a relaxing couple of weeks on the islands. We spent 4 nights here and could have stayed longer. We ran out time to do everything we wanted so unfortunately didn't... Continue Reading →
