Smart home, panoramic view Da Nang
When we arrived in Vietnam we knew we want to see Da Nang. We've found a cool place on Airbnb titled "Smart Home, Panorama View" and we didn't think much and booked it for the next 2 weeks. The description sounded interesting and obviously geeks as us we just wanted to see what it actually mean to have a "smart…

Saigon – 3 Oaks Hotel
Going back to Vietnam we knew right away we will want to stay a bit longer this time so we chose Ho Chi Minh City because it's easy to find an agency there to extend our visa. We decided to stay there for a week and move on to another city after our visas are done. We didn't do any…

Are we scared of the Coronavirus?
Many people have asked us how is coronavirus situation in SE Asia. Is there the same or worse panic like in Europe or USA? I am not sure. It is very hard to say. Asian people wear face masks anyway when they have a cold, or allergies or simply to protect themselves from air pollution. We didn’t notice more people…

New Year in Kuala Lumpur
It was the beginning of December when we had to leave Sri Lanka and finding a fairly cheap flight and accommodation was a bit difficult due to incoming Christmas and New Year.

Rainy Sri Lanka
Our trip to Sri Lanka didn’t start well right from the beginning. First, our flight was 3 hours delayed. Then, when we finally arrived someone asked us if we need a taxi. Nothing unusual at the airport, but he said he’s with Uber and the price he asked for was also close enough to Uber so we agreed to go…

Anak Krakatoa – a trip of our life
Ever since I watched a documentary about Krakatau it became my obsession. I've seen every single possible documentary about it. I followed all news about Anak Krakatau and dreamt that one day I will go and see it. When in 2018 Anak Krakatau collapsed I thought it's the great opportunity to see the crater since it was on sea level…

Gold Coast Sea View Apartment – Jakarta
We went to Jakarta with one thing in mind and that was the only thing we really wanted to do. Nothing else was important. We wanted to see Anak Krakatoa. It was a dream of mine for ages and being in South East Asia and not going there would be a crime! With this goal in mind, we didn't look…

Johor Bahru Malaysia
We went to Johor Bahru mainly because we wanted to make a fast one or two day trip to Singapore. When you look for an accommodation in Singapore on Airbnb many are in Johor Bahru anyway so we thought it's a good way to save some money (Singapore is quite expensive) and visit two places at the same time. A…

Scary, Creepy… and peaceful. Riviera Bay Condo Malacca
We've arrived at Malacca Central by bus. Airbnb host sent a friend to pick us up from the station. To be clear, we didn't ask for it. We were going to take a taxi/Grab, but the host said it's not a problem and he's going to make sure someone is there waiting for us. The ride from the bus station…
