Just a Kidd

Well it took me long enough, but I still can't believe this is my last travelling post. I can't think of a better way to end it than with Gardens By The Bay, one of my favourite places from the whole trip. I just love the fact this huge nature park, home to over 1,000,000 plants, is in the middle of the city. It is home to the Dragonfly lake, Heritage Gardens, Cloud Forest, Flower Dome, and of course the magnificent Supertree Grove. The Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world, and obviously is home to an abundance of flowers. The Cloud Forest hosts a walkway that wraps around a 35m high mountain in the middle of the dome. I am awful with heights so walking this had me scared as hell, especially when my ever so loving boyfriend nudged me, causing me to scream in front of all the other people (including children) walking along it without a care in the world. The walkway had glass panels on either side, which even though I...

So I was going to try and do Singapore as one long last post of our travels. But since seeing how many photos we have and just how much we did...that's going to be impossible. Our short trip was filled up with 3 main things: 1) Random Exploring 2) The Singapore Zoo (kinda twice but we'll get into that) 3) Gardens by the Bay ...we also ended up seeing Dunkirk at the IMAX while we were there, which was awesome but not awesome enough to earn it's own blogpost I 'm going to have to take a moment here to appreciate Singapore airport because oh my god it is the best place in the world. We didn't even use it to it's full potential, and it's still the best place in the world. In Changi airport you can go on a nature trail through sunflower, cactus, orchid and butterfly gardens. If that's not your style, you can visit the cinema or entertainment areas with games consoles or the SWIMMING POOL or the SLIDE. Not to mention all the stuff you find in other ...

After our visit to Kuta, we headed to the inland area of Ubud, which had a much different vibe.  This town is made up of very old buildings and temples and all looks very sacred, until of course you walk past the random Pandora or designer clothes shop. If you're lucky, you can see people flying unbelievably high kites in little park areas, which can be seen for miles. Ubud can be seen as a pretty 'hipster' area with lots of funky coffee shops and vegan cafes, we had some absolutely amazing food during our stay. Bali may have been my favourite location for food during our whole trip looking back on it. The two most amazing things we did in Ubud were definitely visiting the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and going on our own little jungle trek. The Monkey forest is exactly as it sounds, a conservation area of forest and temples home to hundreds of monkeys. One of the really interesting things about this sanctuary is you can see which territory the different groups of...

Ahhhh Bali, the luxury destination everyone is desperate to go to and we got to actually do it. Well, not in a luxury way as such for us backpackers but it was still amazing. Going to Bali after being in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia for over 2 and a half months was very strange. There are western shops and restaurants everywhere. Walking past Jamie’s Italian and Hard Rock Cafe everyday in Kuta left us having to remind ourselves we were actually in Indonesia. Landing in Bali was stressful, very stressful. You will get stampeded by a herd of taxi drivers asking “where you from?, where you go?”, and don’t dare try and tell them you have organised an Uber. We were literally followed out of the airport by about 10 people and it got a little intimidating. You’re not safe outside of the building either, ooooh no, they are all just sitting around waiting for their prey, lost looking white teenagers with a big ol’ backpack. We met our Uber driver halfway up a multi-storey ...

What's that sorry?You forgot I existed?...well I guess I can't really blame you there Hey everyone, yes I know it's been a while but what can I say? I am a busy girl BUT this year mama is gonna turn it around! That's right, a post a week people. I love this little blog and I would love to see it grow this year. I've got some big things planned and I can't wait to get started. Before we get into what's to come this year this year though, we've got to take a look back at 2017. I'm just going to come out and say it, 2017 may be the best year of my life. I had the chance to do so many amazing things and have so many incredible experiences that I may not ever have again and I am so so grateful for them. Not to mention being extremely proud of myself for working hard and allowing a lot of them to happen. If you've been reading my blog, or follow any of my social media at all, then it's obvious to you that this year I took a gap year and we...
