Tomorrow, I will be embarking on what – for some – is the trip of a lifetime. Five weeks in Europe. I’m excited, but I’m nervous. I have never been away from home this long (five weeks) and I’ve never been this far (I’ve been pretty much sticking to Asia). But being a Nervous Nellie is not a condition I…
This tour of China has been just go, go, go. I have had no time to write or process what has happened, what I’ve seen, or how I’ve felt about the whole experience.

The takeaways: Travelling in spring/autumn is best as winters are very cold, and summers very hot. Make sure I…

Travel Indochina has costed a 14 day tour (including airfares, transfers and travel insurance) for me to Vietnam, with exactly the dates I’m after. I’ve just got to get the amounts itemised and check individual costs. And I’m going for my own room because I’m really bad at sharing my space! I’ve checked the reviews / forums and haven’t found…
When I went to the Flight Centre, I originally asked about tours to Asia. Susan advised me that she didn’t know of any (or words to that effect!). Thank God for the internet! I found Travel Indochina, and have contacted them about what tour are available for the dates I’ve chose. For a newbie traveller, I like the idea of…
