Travelling the world in luxury for less a week at a time
The Taiwan SIM card that I picked up at Taipei airport was one of the savviest purchases of my trip. I used my Far EasTone SIM card in Taipei for four days without a hitch. It was simple, cheap as chips and super convenient. If your current Telco charges exorbitant roaming fees like mine does, you definitely need to get your hands on a tourist SIM card in Taiwan.
I’m guessing you have landed here because you are planning your Taipei itinerary. This 4 day Taipei Itinerary was created after months and months of research as part of a 13 day trip to Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand. A friend and I escorted 9 ladies on this trip who were all visiting Asia for the first time. Taipei was the perfect first stop. This vibrant, modern city offers a taste of Asia with many of the comforts of home to soften the culture shock. Our 4 days in Taipei were filled with great company, amazing restaurants and all the fabulous sights of this buzzing metropolis. Whether you are a first time visitor or a seasoned veteran, I hope you find something here to delight that you will include in your very own Taipei itineraries.
There are 165 Nusa Lembongan restaurants according to Trip Advisor. Given Nusa Lembongan is only about 8 square kilometres, that’s just over 20 restaurants per square kilometre. Sadly our three days on the island didn’t allow us to sample as many restaurants in Nusa Lembongan as we would have liked and choosing was quite a challenge. The Hubs and I love our food and life is too short to waste on a bad meal so we did as much research as we could before our arrival. As with any best laid plans, not everything goes to script, but we had more hits than misses. If you are looking for the best restaurants in Nusa Lembongan read on for all the details …

One of the joys of travelling is eating well and during our three days in Koh Lanta we ate our way through a mountain of food. We chose a variety of restaurants with a good mix of local Thai cuisine and western favourites. Most of what we ate was really good, but we did have one disappointing experience.

When we needed to book a Koh Samui to Phuket flight we had zero choice in carriers. Bangkok Airways was the one and only airline flying the short USM – HKT route direct. The flight was short and sweet, but on the pricey side for Asia. I guess you can do that when you own the airport and have a monopoly on the route. Read my full Bangkok Airways review for all the details…
Koh Samui has been on my radar for years. How could it not be? I’ve heard plenty of folks waxing lyrical about this tiny speck of land in the Gulf of Thailand and the FOMO was real. Our fourth trip to Thailand was all about island hopping and Koh Samui was our last stop. We chose the Lomprayah ferry to travel from Ao Nang to Koh Samui because this Krabi to Koh Samui ferry had the most convenient departure time and it docked at Nathon Pier Koh Samui. Read on to find out exactly what the six hour multi leg journey from Krabi to Koh Samui was like …
I’m a beach person. Always have been. Most summer weekends during my misspent youth involved lying on Sydney’s Cronulla Beach shooting the breeze with a bunch of mates. The attraction hasn’t waned and as an adult, my travels often take me to exotic beach locations. There a few things every dedicated beach bum needs for a pleasant day at the shore and a great beach towel is at the very top of the list. I figured beach towels were pretty much all the same. Until I discovered Tesalate beach towels. They are a game changer. Tag along as I put my Tesalate beach towel through its paces in Koh Lanta Thailand …
