The Weird and Wonderful Qatar

February 7, 2016

Let’s talk about Qatar. More specifically, it’s capital, Doha. I first visited Qatar in December 2012 and spent Christmas out there with my family as my dad lives and works in Doha. I also briefly went back in May/June 2015 on my way to and from Hong Kong. I’m going to say straight up that … More The Weird and Wonderful Qatar

Farewell 2015

January 17, 2016

2015 was definitely one of the fastest years I’ve had and was over before I knew it. Although it was a great year, I initially thought not an awful lot happened in it, but on reflection, a lot actually did! … More Farewell 2015

How the heck are these 4 months up already 😭😭😭 I haven’t even started making my video montages and I already wanna cry! So many magical, exciting, funny, exhausting (and sometimes gross…) memories. Onwards to new adventures. Home for a quick spell to catch up with friends and family and then heading to Canada! 🇨🇦❄️
Soi Cowboy is one of Bangkok’s neon light clusters. This infamous side street is a red light district packed with ‘go-go’ bars and other similar, err, establishments. Among the many western male clientele and weed stalls are some great neon lights. This is my favourite shot. 🌈 Even red light districts need snack carts! (I so wish her face was in full focus but she was too quick for me 😭).
Beautiful Bangkok! 🇹🇭 Only my second night in Thailand and I was treated to this gorgeous sunset 😍Bloody love a rooftop bar.
Throwback to one of the million beautiful streets I got to wander in Portugal 💙🇵🇹
What a handsome birdy! 😍🦚 It was my last day in Lisbon and I was making a final must-do list before catching the train to Sintra later. I almost gave the Castelo de São Jorge a miss but then read it’s home to loads of free-roaming peacocks! 🏰 I’m a big animal lover so rushed over after breakfast. I’m a history lover too but at this point I just wanted to find peacocks! Round the back of the ruins, they were everywhere! And very chill around people. They reminded me of the deer I befriended in Nara, Japan but less cheeky. A castle worker told me they reckon they have about 400 peacocks…! Swipe to see a peacock fight!
