Change of scenery
At the end of the year covid situation in Vietnam looked like it has never happened, Europe started rolling out the vaccination campaigns so we thought it's about time to start planning our next trip. We thought at the beginning of the 2021 year all countries would start to open up again and we can finally go back to our…

Staying put until further notice
While the whole world was still struggling with Covid-19 here in Da Nang we felt relatively safe. There was no new case registered in Vietnam for 100 days and everything went back to normal. Streets were full of people and food stalls. Every weekend we've seen full busses of local tourists dropped to hotels around our building. Life went on…

Little Hoi An hotel
When we came to Vietnam we wanted to stay here longer. We wanted to see a bit more of Vietnam, travel around. Then Coronavirus came, quarantine etc and all plans had to be scrapped. Yes, quarantine finished some time ago and we could have come back to our previous plans, but now it didn't feel the same because this time…

Sand everywhere – a house near the beach
The quarantine in Vietnam was at this point at full blast. Empty streets, nearly everything closed apart of a very few grocery shops, no cars or bikes on streets. This was the moment we wanted to move to our new bigger apartment… That was the problem. We were pretty sure that two white people with a huge suitcase and backpacks…

Post Apo World
I love post-apo games, even some movies are ok, but I have never thought I will live in one! That's how it currently feels in the world with Covid-19 panic. Nearly empty street, most businesses closed, no street food, not many people on the streets but those who are there all wear masks!!!

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. The cheapest option was Malaysia again. We've been there a few times before and we feel comfortable in Kuala Lumpur so it was no brainer for us to…

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…

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…
